AKK FX2-Ultimate and AKK Nano 3 5.8 GHz VTX reviews and tests

Continuing good relations with AKK Technology, I have received 2 new 5.8GHz VTXes for review.

First is FX2-Ultimate, with power output up to 1200mW.
Yes that is a lot and in the mean time, during some FCC rules , they announced that maximum power will be limited to 1000mW on next production line in the future.
That is quite OK and enough

My second scratch built balsawood plane. This is actually a slope glider, but I made it as an electric glider. Excellent flyer.
