Had it a couple of weeks and yeah think it’s the thing I flew the most at the weekend. Cost me 20 quid (second and had never been flown tbh), with motors esc, etc. Had to add the FC and DJI video system.

:scream:

I got £20 quids worth of enjoyment just watching it scream across the skies of Northants all weekend :smiley:

I enjoyed flying Callum’s Disco too :airplane:

Got a link to more info on this AR wing @GunjaFPV mate?

Think I need one in my life too.

Heh loved flying it, Ā£20 was for the frame and motors, etc… Added the FC and Video and RX

Obviously I blew the motor Friday as @notveryprettyboy encouraged me to try a 7incgh instead of 5 inch prop! But of course he donated a new motor cos he awesome, and @sirgunner brought a soldering iron so it was airbourne again all weekend, and now I think it’s spot on with whatever motors on (will update the thread below with what’s actually on it)

yeah that thing looked great, I actually have some chase video somewhere for that! So much footage to go through! Glad he recovered it, looked fun!

I actually started (but never continued) the build thread for it :wink:

There’s a 1m version pro too now. Think mine was well old (guy from Drone Circle built the frame over a year ago,a nd been gathering dust!)

Martin, when we put the 6ā€ on at the club field the performance was well up and max current was spot on for the motor and ESC combo.
That was optimum, leave it alone :slightly_smiling_face:

Remember what @notveryprettyboy did to his Mobula when he put too big a prop on it and a 6S :laughing::laughing:

That was the 7" one

Oh was it 6 inch. Well it’s the same prop that blew it :wink: Hadn’t changed it since you’re place. I may have just been running it at 100% too much! Luckily the ESC was fine!

Just checked the prop it is a 7 x 4.5. Actually Karl had to give me a new one on Friday (same size different direction), as couldn’t reverse the new motor which was backwards from the one I blew! Some reason just wouldn’t connect from BLHeli suite?!

Were you chasing it while it was circling?

Left it in loiter for 10 minutes and looked up to see a quad following it.

Would like to see that.

It’s more just a big lazy wing, not even close to the same level as the AR.

I modded it for long range and used to send it on 1hr way point missions off the Scottish coast.

Oh nice. Maybe it was loitering as seemed ā€œstableā€ ish and easy to follow. Wasn’t a ā€œchaseā€ flight, so not much of it, but will edit the little I have when copy all the 7 millions GB’s of video from the quads. Actually might have already copied that footage as was the O3, which sadly retired early after a visit to @Foley and @FoleyMrs tent :slight_smile: Will let you know!

Turns out was

Turns out was the same flight, so my first poor edit, after davinci optimises it’s media. Have chase, and ā€œlaptopā€ landing, shame no one photographed that! Though I think @bmsleight got the crash on his phone!

Bit cheaper today.

So - having no kit - roughly what’s the cost of all the other kit needed?

depends on a lot of different factors, what FPV gear you put in it is a dramatic price difference.

an O3 Air unit will be £200+ but an analogue VTX can be as little as £15

also what radio link also has an impact on price.
