Utterly awsome!!!!!

What a rush...

If you guys dont have any objection, i wouls like to post this on my website fro my FPV guys...

This is the kind of flight we dream off (given in no small way to that fact that we fly in the flattest part of the UK)

Inspiring!

Kind regards.

Mike.

Great video.  The chase car / car chase was really cool.  How much damage did it cause when you hit the sign?

Comment by kitegruppe on June 24, 2012 at 11:40pm

Thx.

There was no damage at the plane after that.
The OSD said the crash was with a speed of 80 km/h
But the sign caught me not central, only on a wing.

But after the car chase i hit a tree with ~ 90km/h with the central blutnose. What large parts of damaged laminate ater that.
After the Reperatur work I realized during the flight that the inner carbon rods were also damaged.
As the Plane while plane dive swung and broke into 2 halves .

Flying wings are just the coolest things out.

Hi guys,

I have to be honest, i do have a business designing and manufacturing RC models, BUT i have not used the video for this purpose.

I also have my own flying club, if you will, and we are all a bunch of middle aged kids, this vid has lit a fire under all our FPV guys,

(Please feel free to check the link to make sure its ok with you YOUR VID USED ON OUR SITE  )

I have now got the Flying wing bug so now designing one up in SW for manufacturing.

so impressed with what you have done...we have to have a go.

Hope this is ok with you.

(for those interested it will look like a bit like an X8 when done)

sorry to hijack the thread, just wanted to be completely transparent with you.

kind regards.

Mike.

Nice, i hope you will make your plane as stable as mine. X8 locks a little bit easy to destroy for me.

Comment by Dr Mike Black on June 25, 2012 at 10:38am

we have been manufacturing Rc models for 12 years.  (amongst many other things)

Will do my best to make her ruggid!

trouble is you have the BEST scenery, hard to get anything close to that..

But, we have to try!   :)

I cant wait to be honest, i will post the renderigns here when done (assuming you guys are interested)

regards,

Mike.

HI Guys,

Well here it is...

not quite done, but ready to evaluate what need to go in her..

Sorry it took so long to post, but trying to make sure that once drawn we can actually manufacture it...

Thoughts?

Kind regards,

Mike.
