Planes

Multiplex have tweaked their legendary FunJet, and released the new FunJet Ultra – which will fly up to 125 mph/200 kph out of the box. Just like the original, the FunJet Ultra is made from Elapor foam, but they’ve made it higher density than in the original, and added a carbon fiber reinforced plastic main spar. At 200 kph, the FunJet Ultra is probably bordering on too fast for FPV use, but I’m sure someone will do it.

If you’re looking for an easy to fly RC plane that can also be used for FPV or aerial photography, then the first stop should be a Multiplex Easy Star. The Multiplex Easy Star is a pusher design, which means the propeller is pushing the plane, rather than pulling it through the air. This leaves the nose of the plane free to mount cameras on, and also means that you’re less likely to damage the motor in a crash. It’s also an excellent glider, so once you get up high enough, you can cut the throttle and save your battery.

• No painting required
• Made of tough ELAPOR foam
• Pusher motor is mounted above the wings for durability
• Easy to fly – perfect for beginners
• Simple elevator and rudder control
• Good “motor off” gliding properties
• Ideal for FPV or aerial photography
