This is an underrated plane and the Matek WMN is the perfect size for it.

Good landing! You know, many spectators are watching model plains in hope to see a crash!

Awesome build

Nice build and looks to fly great. Watched your long-range flight as well. Only image I see of build is in video thumbnail. Looks like vista is mounted on top of the wing (rear hatch), but wondering where Matek F405-WMN mounted? Under front canopy, or did you try placing in bottom hatch? Is ELRS antenna mounted on wing? It's not clear from photo. I have the same parts, and trying to figure placement so get C/G balances without extra balance weights.

Hi. The Vista is mounted on a 3D printed part that replaces the top hatch for GPS. The part is: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4808283 FC is under the Vista, so bottom hatch is empty except ESC and USB/buzzer board from Matek F405-WMN. I have also purchased a 200mm MIPI cable and moved the camera to the nose. 200mm is just perfect for this. GPS is glued with double sided tape near the front screw for securing the wings. ELRS receiver is mounted centrally on the body and antennas are on the wings just stick them vertically in small holes I made with a needle. They are easy to remove and return when removing and packing the wings. You can see a better picture at: ibb.co/6bYWKhN

Not sure if you read comments, but would be extremely interested in your build. Particularly if I could pay you for a build.

Hi, I read the comments. The components of the build are in the description of the video. It's a bit complicated to export and send FPV equipment from my country, but I can give advice and send pictures of my build if that helps.

No, each servo is connected to a different servo output on the FC. I used a 10cm servo extension cables.

Can the camera be mounted in the nose?

With standard cable that comes with Vista no, it's not long enough. I have received a few days ago a 20cm cable from VIsta to camera and now the camera is in the nose and there is nothing from the plane in the camera. Last weekend I made a successful flight with a max distance of 12.6km from homepoint, I will upload a video soon.
