Started this discussion. Last reply by Marcelo Gomes Jan 19. 5 Replies 0 Likes

Michael commented on Jonathan Hesselbarth's blog post ArduVTOL - Wingcopter - Flight Report Nr.1"Will this eventually be a commercial product? If it comes apart easily, then it's exactly what I'm looking for. Outstanding work!"
Simon Howroyd commented on Michael's blog post Range Video's FPV flying wing, the RVJET"Agreed but 2 or 3 rvjets bolted together is going to beat the lot!
5.6kg was fine for a chuck launch. I want to hit 6kg but im more or less on mtow now I think."
Simon Hedstrom commented on Michael's blog post Range Video's FPV flying wing, the RVJET"The X8 does have more wing area and internal volume so if the goal is to carry maximum weight and volume as possible with no regard to other features then the X8 beats the RVJET simply because it's bigger. That should be obvious just comparing…"

Simon Howroyd commented on Michael's blog post Range Video's FPV flying wing, the RVJET"I like that two can be bolted together for more weight carrying.
Has anyone flown this heavy, if so whats the all up weight you managed? I've had 5.6kg with the X8"
Joseph commented on Michael's blog post The Giant Super Skysurfer 2.4m wingspan"I used the bixler PID settings as a starter on mine. Worked great. Mine had a terrible crash do to a mechanical malfunction that banana hobby has reviewed and offered to replace. This all happened back in September on the 2ns flight. I would…"

Well I'm one of the designers and we have AFAIK not closed any threads. I actually started a new thread when rclab1 decided to close his.

Mike commented on Michael's blog post Range Video's FPV flying wing, the RVJET"@Sgt Ric I never said "many" blogs were being closed.
I said that I followed several blogs and that "some" (definition of some - An unspecified amount or number of) them have actually been closed. - I was just…"

"Thats not entirely true.
-rcgroups user rclab1 did close his thread down when he blew up and was editted out as being obnoxious, by the moderators over there, but several other threads still discuss the RVJet's breathlessly awaited arrival."
