http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__51559__HobbyKing_Go_Discover_FPV_Plane_EPO_1600mm_PNF_AU_Warehouse_.html

38072(3).jpgThe Go Discover was designed from the start to be a great FPV platform with a massive center bay, straight forward layout and superb, predictable, yet sporty, flight characteristics.

What makes the Go Discover stand out is the integrated pan and tilt system in the nose, giving an un-obstructed bird’s eye view of the world below. The pan and tilt system uses 2 gear driven engagements for a smooth solid camera platform. The pan and tilt system  was designed to perfectly house a GoPro 1, 2, 3 or 3+ as well as any other board or cube FPV camera with an easy swappable back mounting plate, all housed behind a clear acrylic dome. The front dome provides a great view, while protecting your FPV gear.

Aerobot, the last step, destruction !!

Here it is, the last thing we had to do before production.

Crash testing from Simon Jardine on Vimeo.

The model you see in the video is actually made of fibre glass and without a bottom plate. (it's not complete)

The end product will be made of Carbon Fibre.

Tests have shown the ring is more aerodynamic, has less vibration and overall feels more responsive and as you can see from the video its near indestructible ;-)

So far we have tested DJI, APM2.5, Multiwii,Mikrokopter,KK and the Naza all systems fit the frame and work well.

 

System specs:

Frame weight 200grams

Flight times of 10+ minutes

1240kv motors

8inch props

16.8volts LiPo 2700mah

Designed to carry the GoPro series Camera.

Production goes ahead 2013 January.
