New kid on the blog - the Ranger Ex UAS platform.

So much has happened since the good "old" days with multiplex easystar.

Now the "hobbyworld" of drones got working advanced autopilots and platforms in all kinds of designs to fit all kinds of drone jobs.

The new kid (Ranger ex platform) will soon be ready for buying.

The platform is a 2M wingspan with a LARGE fuselage.

Wings: Strong Epo foamFuselage: molded PVC (like FPVraptor)

Will carry 10000 mAh 4S lipo and still have room for everything. :-)

What do you think about what you see?

This is the plane I fly the most. I'm using an apm 2.6 but have only used manual so far. I was wondering if anyone has parameters they can share that they have used successfully. Ide like to see what others are using. Thanks

Looks nice, but that tarot gimbal is going to create a great deal of drag further reducing efficiency. Plus, I would like to see how it holds up when this tail dragger noses over on a rough landing. Better gimbal solution with a low price point and it could be a winner.
