"In 1998 an Aerosonde UAV (2.7m wingspan, 20cc engine) managed to fly 3200km and cross the Atlantic ocean with 6 litres of fuel over 26 hours.
This new challenge is a little over double the distance, but with an increase in scale and more modern…"

"If you replace the helicopter prop with an EDF unit you lose finesse over thrust control, making hovering and safe landings harder. An EDF that can put out ~9kg of thrust is also going to be pretty large and almost certainly heavier than the…"

"For something like a 3m wingspan Mugin, this platform would fit well."

"Also, for those trying to locate the field on Google Earth / Maps, the proper address of 743 Cecil Plains Road, Dalby, Queensland, Australia will drop you 6.5km north of the actual location. I've submitted a request to Google to have the club…"

"@JB - while you're quite correct, be aware that the diagram of the flight path / geofence is only an example; "Note that this figure is an example and does NOT show the actual Transit Corridor or Remote Landing Site." Not that it'll be much…"

"@Randy - that's not too bad (though I wonder how much of a difference the distance / signal strength would play on latency (due to packet resending)). Still, if it's roughly the same on the Bebop 2, or even lower, then that should be good for most…"

"@Chris, the Bebop's camera and onboard image processors allow for it to have a solid-state / virtual gimbal - the camera is a 14MP sensor with a fisheye lens, and the pilot has the ability to control what sector of that image is viewed. For FPV…"
