As I am new to posting in this forum, I hope this area is suitable for my build thread.
Back in January, I found a video of this really amazing looking plane that has twin Power 15 motors spinning 13" APC props with dual FPV. I watched every video that was available and I immediately fell in love with the plane and I had to have one. Although there is a laser cut kit available, I opted to scratch build the plane (l love the build process). I'll post some pics below but here are some details:
10 foot wingspan with 3 cargo droppers (first aid supplies, bottled water, energy bars, etc)
2 Eflight Power 15 brushless motors
2 13x8 APC props
2 Castle Creations 50amp esc's
1 Castle Creations 20amp BEC Pro
1 Castle Creations 10amp BEC
9 Corona DS538HV metal gear servos
2 TGY-9018MG servos
1 Omnibus F4 v2 flight controller with Inav
1 ImmersionRC 5.8ghz 600mw vtx
5-10 3S 5000mah 45C lipo packs
1 Runcam Eagle 800 tvl camera
Flown with my new Taranis X9D Plus and X8R rx (programmed for 16 channels
Second FPV setup will be:
1 Spektrum AR8000 with satellite rx
1ImmersionRC 5.8ghz 600mw vtx
1 Runcam Eagle 800 tvl camera
1 Mobius camera
The original designer of this plane has built several of these planes and has actually flown his builds to 14,000 feet (lives in Mexico) and has logged a 4 hour flight.
Here are two videos from the original designer that have just captured my attention:
Now, after watching just those two videos....how can you NOT be inspired? lol He has many other great flight videos. I encourage anyone to check them out. I'm sure I've left out some details but I'll post more as the build progresses. I am a husband and a father, so my "build time" is limited, lol.
