There's not much room left inside the AXN at all -- but that's just the bareback FPV model, it only has a camera and transmitter, no OSD or anything else so the room isn't an issue.
The Skywalker is a great alternative because it has so much room you can even put a packed lunch in it for those extra-long flying sessions.
I'm not so much of a fan of models with the prop up front for several reasons:
1. it's something hard and sharp that can cause injury or damage if you're unfortunate enough to hit someone or something. Models like the AXN and Skywalker have a nice soft foam front that absorbs a *lot* of energy on impact.
2. The prop causes nasty lines on the camera which can significantly diminish the FPV experience (for me anyway).
3. With the pusher configuration you don't ever have to worry about bending a motor shaft or breaking a prop if you stuff up a landing or hit something. The prop and motor will be completely safe and out of harm's way.
