Working on a 500 size now with the same style frame.

Since the maiden I've swapped out the G10 3 landing legs for heli skids, makes it much more stable on ground and gives it a bit of flex for hard landings.

Thanks. I really like the look of it. Working on a custom canopy for it now, either to be vacuum formed or fiberglass molded. Still need to tune it a bit but getting there. Tried MAS 8X6X3 props but that made it very twitchy and fast with the same PID settings, I think I'll stick with the 2 blade 8".

Quick video of the Flytron Strobon lights on the Hunter Vtail. The Blue LED matches the frame nicely :-)
