Very nice video. Comparing your VTOL video to yours and other non VTOL videos makes me think that the current is way much more ("almost" double ? ) cruising around .. What is your expirience ?

very cool - just found your channel and really enjoy your build videos - this is an epic flight time!

So the gyro is only for post-edit? You can't have live stabilized FPV image? I would like to use FPV with an RC car, but feel that the camera is shaking way too much, compared to what it would be to actually sit inside a car (you keep your head upright)

I have one of these gimbals. Did you notice in the full stabilization mode it didnt do a good job keeping the horizon level? Mine is the same and it can quickly drift to 40deg or more off level. I haven't calibrated it. Not convinced it will help as it knows level when powered up. Its a common problem with gimbals. I believe they plan to add mavlink support. Coms with FC may help the level issue. Im also having a problem with sbus. The home function dosent work and it jitters at some angles. PWM seems ok. See my last vid.

Incredible attention to detail. Great work! How did you remove the existing glued in plywood parts without damaging the foam?

very nice thx

Have you ever tried the new firmwares? I've heard that they optimised the gyro

Great video really inspirational! Also how much did the whole build cost in total mate?

can you help me setup one please

Can you tell me what video editor you're using these days please..?...Is it free?....Sick of mine making such huge files..🤔😳🇬🇧

Nice test! Thanks.

Hi Giz, I have bought this camera some times ago and can't find a mount to put it on a Pan servo, how did you mounted it on your plane?

is there a link to this program thank you

Those pesky Dolphins eh..?....What you doing on analogue btw...🤔😳😏🇬🇧

The gimbal effect is bizarre, disorienting really but the video is pretty cool, useful even so I can see it working. I looked to get one of these planes but it seemed a little sketch, do you know if they plan on sending this to US retailers?

You lucky son of a gun!! I'd commit GENOCIDE to be able to live in such a gorgeous area and fly fpv there 🥲

Great flight and the view is awesome good job

how come none of these airplanes have landing sleds or something like that ?

So why are the wings that stiff and so many cf spars.... Is this trying to go 300mph or something?? 😅

Do we know anything about pricing yet?

Looks very well built but I just cant get over the look of the thing - wouldnt want to fly it

Giz what setting do you use for your Pro camera in the WalkSnail camera settings menu? Imagine from the dvr looks really good.

Looks like you’re turning with the rudder rather than the ailerons

Sidmouth is looking lovely, time for a flight like the late Balleka along the coast ruclips.net/video/SbjBU6ixBLc/видео.htmlsi=jXHbeMT2QYUBFESu

В inav придумали автозапуск, чтобы пальцев не лишиться. Зачем запускать в ручную? Inav has autolaunch so you don't lose your fingers. Why run it manually?

What a nice spot your home zone is. So beautyful. 👍🌅

A few years ago I installed a gimbal with a GoPro, on an FX 79 flying wing, it worked very well. But it was heavy, cumbersome to transport, nothing like this plane. today there are lighter and especially smaller gimbals, maybe I should try again.

I'd be instantly down for a vtol version of this rig! When the FC was being shown I suddenly got very excited. Wouldn't mind an extended wing version too.

What gimble are you using ?

interested in how it goes for long range efficiency

Best launch I've seen so far. The ability to have gimbal lock to a fixed position will be useful for some parts of flight, like when doing tuning; but can really see the potential that having a stabilized gimbal offers. Very nice flight, and amazing coastal scenery. Since the Pocket radio doesn't have any sliders to use as a pan control, perhaps putting the rudder/gimbal on a switch would allow alternating between rudder/pan, or mix so pans in the direction of a turn. Experimenting with different ways to use the gimbal should be fun. :)

Fantastic flying, dude! Really fun airplane! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Hook the gimbal up to a head tracker, might be a lot more interesting to fly

Fyi ,,Mine is 12 volt to 24 volt? Its for caddex. And they have 2 firmwares in the manul/app download folder. Mines still in the box the app is on there site under support

Some way to stow/protect the gimbal during landing would be nice

I think for the price, the Atom Dolphin flies just as good, maybe better. It flies at lower amps also. Of course if you’re a gimbal person, that’s what the Firefly is suited for. I was thinking about getting one, but the landings for the Firefly or hit and miss and the potential for front nose breakage. My Dolphin flies great and is much cheaper and I can get replacement parts. Thanks for the flight.

Nice , how do you feel about the landing.

Looks pretty good with the gimbal setup.

👍

what direction on the fan? is it sucking air inside to outside or blowing air from outside to inside?

They must have made a mistake with not including that cable you mentioned.

Awesome plane. It looks quite a lot like the Zeta Sky Observer. I bet the foam is indeed good and durable. Very nice.

I saw somewhere a VTOL version of this plane where the propellers faced downward in pusher configuration, at least it looked like this plane

The gimbal footage with Walksnail should be epic....They tried to market this plane before...Its nicely engineered IMO....battery under the CG....great idea...😳😏😏🇬🇧

That is an old design that didn't do well when it first came out years ago that is resurfacing in Kickstarter!!!!!!!!!

Great blind unboxing. Really like the attention to details the manufacture has integrated into the design. The light grey high density foam is great alternative to dark/white that thens to be only options for other models. The the main volume of the pod is directly under the C/G makes battery options, etc very easy to get a perfect balance.

I backed this and looking forward to it arriving in June, it looks to be a good rig for attempting long range flights.

Weird but I like it. Glad to see more planes coming out

Definitely unique, and maybe high quality, but it feels like someone said "I love FPV, but I hate pushers and twin motors so much that I'm going to make something truly despicable to look at...oh, and lets make sure those wings smack the ground at a weird angle if you don't get your landing perfect every single time. We don't believe in landing gear or stability once it touches the ground at all". I'm pretty sure this thing doesn't survive one somewhat minor crash, given all it's appendages and thin connections coming off the more-massive body.
