Nice! 

I've been wanting to build a big gasser, but don't know where to start.

What size/type of engine?  What types of materials used in construction?

What did you learn from Mk1?

It's my custom made engine running on diesel.

Nothing was wrong with Mk1 - I want to use the inverted V-tail to save 2 servos interface for something else.

All Carbon Fiber construction.

Man this is very nice, but you should utilize the on board FPV and go high high above the sky, also try to retract the front wheel and tilt down the camera a little bit.

Man, it has a really expensive PTZ camera gimble ($40k) which hasn't yet been installed. This is just for some fun video while I'm testing. I won't need too look forward once this thing fly autonomous.

 

I'm not going to fly above 400' at the RC field - I don't want to be the "j@ck*ss" that break the rule, beside I'm a guest here at this field so I don't want my friend to get in trouble. :)

Try the GoPro HD instead, it is cheaper, can be used for FPV and records on SD at the same time, and the best feature is the 60 fps which you can slow it down to 30 fps and it will look beautiful.

This is the GoProHD. The PanTiltZoom is fully stabilized with GPS refference, tracking, etc...different animal altogether.
