  • Looking good LP!

  • @lianpinkoh thanks where I fly there is a lot of wind shear and clear air turbulence coming over the cliff and the plane can instantly get flipped upside down you have to be able to spin down out of it and recover . You did a beautiful job on your build  I like the Wing cam and it flies real smooth  Good Luck in your future endeavors and have a Great Day

  • Hi folks, thanks.
    @Carl, haven't done any high G stuff,mand don't expect to! Intend mainly for aerial photos/videos.
    @Yiguo, Tim gave the link. I believe it is around $200 with electronics.
    @Tim,I flew with the telemtery on. So from the tlog, I could calculate that the drone was in the air for 24 minutes consuming 2235 mAh of battery power. This means with my 5000 mAh battery, it should be able to last 45-50 minutes. Of course, I was not carry much payload, only GoPro, and was flying no higher that 60 m above ground.
  • Effective video editing! You kept it relatively fast-past and interesting! Thanks! ;-)

  • @Tim Thanks  in the video I did not see them do any modest climbs or descents are you happy with the one you have and what is a projected flight time  Have a Great Day!

  • Thanks

  • How much is your airframe?

  • Very smooth Will it climb vertical  or recover from a straight  down dive  or do an out side loop. looks nice you did a good job building
