Figure I would post a different kind of assembly thread here. This is Ready Made's new Anaconda FPV/UAV plane. This aircraft reminds me a lot of the Shadow UAV. Stay tune for more photos and setups pics!

Will be flying it without the autopilot and video tx in it for a few weeks to see how she flies. Then I will add the video tx so I can shoot touch n gos via the camera. Then move on to add a auto pilot in it. The plan is to go ahead and mount the autopilot, but just hook it up later on. I also plan on ordering a gimbal to put up in the nose that will have a go pro attached to it! Looking forward to finishing this project.

Ordered some more parts today. I will be using 1.3 video. Already had the TX and RX but needed circular polarized antennas. The 1.3 video tx will be mounted on one of the wing tips. The further away it is mounted from the other electronics the better it will work. 

The plane will have three cameras when it is all finished. Going to start out with just one for testing and flying FPV. 

Camera 1: Main Flying Camera. (Will be located in the nose and used for take off landing and flying around) 

Camera 2: Go Pro on a gimbal. (This camera will be used to look around and will be located under the nose in front of the nose wheel) 

Camera 3: Mapping Camera. (This camera will be facing straight down and be located in front of the main wheels. Will be used for mapping imaged) 

All cameras will be plugged into a camera switch which will allow me to see each video input on my TV screen or goggles. 

Hope to test fly the plane later this week in R/C form. After I know she flies well and is trimmed out I will add the FPV camera and then move on to adding a autopilot.

Here is a video of a friend of mine that is following the Anaconda. The Anaconda was flying a mapping flight plane. Basically flying back and forth covering a area the size of three football fields.
