A lot of people were interested in the Lumenier QAV250 that we flew in our Amazon Air Drop episode.

We brought it back by popular demand and though we would go a little deeper into this miniquad.

We purchased the updated RTF version. This frame is full 3k carbon fiber and the props are carbon fiber as well.

Also, we grabbed the custom hardcase with it. The case isn't included with the kit but is extremely tough and cradels the quad perfectly. It's worth the extra money to help protect your mini.

We didn't want Peter to feel left out of this episode so we had him develop a challenge for Josh and Alex.

He scratch built this annular wing design from a 200% Simple Soarer fuselage. We spent countless man hours and money trying to develop a name for this design. After multiple revisions the best we could do is....Circle Plane.

So the challenge was then, who can fly their mini through the Circle Plane the most?

Even though the wind was less than desireable, and the plane flew like a diva, we had a great time with this design. Thanks again to Peter who never seems to run out of crazy ideas.

Thanks for your continued support! Keep your suggestions and challenges coming!

I agree the 250 class is just so much fun to fly.

I built one up for cheap and have been enjoying it a lot.
