Hugin UAV platform

As you can see the platform is not a RTF kit. There will be some hours working before it will be flying.

Wingspan: 2M

Price: 325 USD.

More info on this nice twinboom UAV platform will come in near future!

Is it actually called "Hugin"? What does that mean?

@Gary, it's the same law for FPV/UAV/UAS, you'll need to have the device in line of sight and 'double command' for FPV/UAV.
See their new site : Aviation Design , they have an Industrial business for military and RC jets business for hobbyist.
Look at the drone they made for Dassault ('Petit Duc') and for Kawasaky Heavy Industry.

@Guido:
It seems they also have an UAV platform which is really, really cool:

Their ground station is quite interesting too:

Bob,
looks like it is in prototype stage now. Will probably come up at www.fpvflying.com soon.

Is there a link to a website - or where did you purchase the kit?

Thanks

Hooks , I am not sure either if i like the V tail or not. A optional horizontal stabilizer that can be added to the same Vtail( by separating the v tail center and adding the horizontal stab in the bottom or top might make a interesting choice). But more important is the motor mount and possible cooling issue. I don't see how motor( even if it is electric) can cool it self from slip steam while flying.

Thats for model flying, whats the limit for UAS?
Guido Armaris June 15, 2010 at 5:15am

In France, the limit is 25 kg max. (ready to fly) plus other limits on motor power, this allow toys like theses one
