Yes, we are on the track to ship them by mid-Feb.

They will be shipped from USA.  If anyone has any questions I can answer them.

Why pan and tilt?  with a 170 FOV I would much rather have smooth level video with a pan and roll system over a pan and tilt.  The one thing that drive me nuts when watching a flying wing's video is the constant roll left and right needed for piloting due to the lack of the rudder.  So you would think that a tilt and roll would be able to reduce / remove most of the left and right adjustments the pilot makes... much like how well they work on quad copters..   mabye i am just lacking skill in this area but one would think tilt and roll would be more ideal... maybe not.  I fly quads so might just be a different animal.

A stock f3.6mm lens for 1/3" CCD is usually about 90 degrees FOV.
The total pan range is 170 degrees. Of course the pan is not as useful with the wide angle Gopro  as it is with a micro cam.  It's still neat and you can connect camera stabilization to achieve a neat effect. 
I like you idea.

at least to minimize the left, right, left, right effect.. but I guess if you really are flying commercially (when allowed) then you probably would have a craft with a rudder.

interesting designed craft though.. very cool.

Any plans with distribution from EU? Shipping costs US->EU would kill every joy from that plane.

Yes. Our price for re-sellers is very appealing and we welcome new distributors to join the fun :)

The MSRP is not publicized yet but will be ready by next week. We keep spending more money (on stufff) and the price just wont settle down.

I've been eyeballing this one as well.  I would make it a long endurance plane with an arduflyer in it.

Any idea of the selling price ? Is there a recommanded motor / battery configuration ? (I would love to use my 5000mAh 4s hyperion batteries :) )
