I hope you mean "latest" not "last!: :)

 

Very cool looking. I'd love to see some autonomous takeoffs and landings! Did you make a slingshot for it or it is hand launch? Is this setup considered a flapperon or elevon?

Thanks Paul.

You right, lates, one of many. :)))

In plank FW design flapperons not work.

This plane really light, with 2500 mA battery weight only 1120 g. Powered by AXI 2217/16 with 10x6 Graupner folded prop start from hand like rocket!

are you using ORCA II video transmitter ?

Comment by Vladimir "Lazy" Khudyakov on September 6, 2011 at 12:08pm

No, no...Micro PLL Tx.

I am working on similar project but i using TWOG + xbee 900 + generic 5.8Ghz video downlink.

what distance you can fly with your video link ?

 

My next step is order a digital video link to use on my multi-rotor and big airplanes.

1,2 GHz...Really ~5 km. I don't need more now. :)

I really like the air-frame design. Looks like it has all the advantages of a flying wing combined with a traditional fixed body. Do you have any building plans, and would you be willing to share them? :)

Comment by Vladimir "Lazy" Khudyakov on September 6, 2011 at 12:44pm

John, is a commercial project...

Comment by eduardo on September 6, 2011 at 12:47pm

Good airframe desgin.

I have a question ..

what advantages this kind of wind have ? i use a tradicional flywing + fixed body to carry pay-loads.

Eduardo, maybe I not understand you...

It's a plane with two elements: wing and fuse.
