Cool find! :)
I want that airframe, looks like the microjet so much lol

This is..............................Ridiculous

Yikes. $23,000 (but they throw in two extra foam bodies!). They sent me the full spec sheet: Clairvoyance quotation and specification.pdf

Yeah, sorry, interesting, but I agree with Chris McNair.

20km from 14db and 1W at 2.4Ghz??

I see that in attached " Quotation" price is USD 26,471 US. Could it be that due to lack of setup on the quote generation sowtware, or potential language issues, or..., price should be in yuan ( Chinese currency)?
That would make it 26, 471 yuan = $3,876

I really like descriptions for items 8 and 9 :

8) Motor 1 Special motor
9) Propeller 1 Plastic Paddle

Has Diydrones ever thought of selling a fully working UAV? that is a plane with everything installed into it, because as we all know, you could sell them way way way cheaper than $23,000.

Yes $26k, not $23k. Typing too fast...

Here are the details of the autopilot it uses: (readable version here: XY-3 autopilot quotation.doc)


·Itegrated GPS receiver, three-axis MEMS gyroscope, pressure altimeter.
·16-channel GPS receiver, 4Hz output, 35 seconds fast positioning time and accuracy of 2.5 meters CEP.
·33HZ attitude inner loop control, 4HZ outer navigation controls.
·Mltiple-channel hybrid control output can be easily adjust the mixture control. Ajust neutral position just in time
·Three control modes: augmentation remote control, smart remote control and automatic navigation control.
·Three kinds of automatic navigation control modes: fixed flight mode, the mouse pointing flight patterns and route navigation mode.
·The ground station contains electronic map function software that can change the route and tasks online, real-time semi-autonomous remote control and can be real-time flight data recording and offline playback.
·Automatic and manual remote control integration, higher reliability and practicality, can compatible with all common facilities of RC remote control, and improve the fuction of servo output checking and remote protection.
·Available online to adjust and save all the control parameters, with stand-alone parameter adjustment software which is easy to use.
·Real-time telemetry flight data and records all telemetry data.
·Contains the control voltage monitoring, electric aircraft power voltage monitoring, GPS accuracy of detection, autopilot temperature detection and so on.
·Support RS-232 interface levels.
·Volume is 100 × 43 × 25mm, weight is 75 grams, power is 150MA@7.2V.

Application

·Automatic navigate and pilot small and medium aircraft of non-layout form such as Regular, V tail, lifting flaps, ailerons and others.
·A variety of automatic navigation and driving.
·High-precision real-time data acquisition, image location of synchronization in the process of flying.
