Does this look familiar?
Go Discover FPV Plane, and in Australia store!! $150 bucks
.jpg)
The 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.

I was wondering about the maximum pan and tilt servos range: something like +-70° per pan and +-45° per tilt ? I hope such system can cope with a NADIR poiting angle for tilt (+ 90°)

Going by the video, the gopro hood needs a bit of work, and the pain tilt ranges as well, compared to the RV jet.
I suspect the RVjet will still constitute better value in the long run, especially since you can easily get any replacement part you need, and it comes with the "endurance" wing extensions.
The wing is completely different in several areas including the tip shape and the amount of reflex that appears to be in the foil section. The RVJET doesn't appear to have very much reflex at all
Looks like an RVjet (the shorter wing span version) with most of the nice design details left out. I'd love to see a direct comparison.
When you take out the middle wing extensions from the RVJET, it really looks the same minus the slight vertical stab angle.
By that logic, the shipping costs on the aircraft are highly innovative. :-)
Well, it's not really a direct copy, but it's certainly "inspired" by the RV-JET. The wing planform is different and the wing fences new and vertical stablizers are revised. I'm not sure how to feel about them doing this kind of thing because there are many ways to skin this cat. I guess real innovation costs money and you won't get it at Hobby-King prices.
It's a copy of RVJET, thats what it looks like anyhow :-)

sure original design will cost different.
