I had been wanting to do a R/C conversion of the Multiplex Fox before the FMS G600 caught my eye, I mostly went for it because it comes with an extra bit of wingspan over the Fox and expected it to fly like a micro floater. Although, my setup ramped up the wing loading a tad bit more than I originally planned for and it doesn't really "float", but it does have a decent glide slope.

Electronics:
Hextronik 10g brushless outrunner
Mantis 8A ESC
Thunder Power 2S 325mAh 70C / WolfPack 2S 300mAh 25C
HXT500 servos
DM4F DMSS 4Ch Rx
4.75x4.75E prop / 5x3SF prop
AUW 120-135g

I reinforced the under belly with a couple of 1mm carbon rods glued in place since it was flexing quite a bit from the electronics cavity that is made after a few bad landings.

I prefer the TP325 with 4.75x4.75E prop because it lets me pull out of steep dives quickly.
Flies real nice even with a lot of wind for it's size, flight times range between 8-10mins.
