Finally a somewhat nice enough of a day for us to put another flight on the new Javelin Mk2. It's very windy however and cross wind too - I do hate Melbourne weather.
In this flight, I'm just getting the control surface angles and mixings dial in so we can input that into the autopilot. All live telemetry was recorded.
It flies really well and plenty of power and lift. Current weight comes in at 11kg with a design max gross of 16 - 17kg

Man, it has a really expensive PTZ camera gimble ($40k) which hasn't yet been installed. This is just for some fun video while I'm testing. I won't need too look forward once this thing fly autonomous.
I'm not going to fly above 400' at the RC field - I don't want to be the "j@ck*ss" that break the rule, beside I'm a guest here at this field so I don't want my friend to get in trouble. :)
Man this is very nice, but you should utilize the on board FPV and go high high above the sky, also try to retract the front wheel and tilt down the camera a little bit.
looks good!
It's my custom made engine running on diesel.
Nothing was wrong with Mk1 - I want to use the inverted V-tail to save 2 servos interface for something else.
All Carbon Fiber construction.
Nice!
I've been wanting to build a big gasser, but don't know where to start.
What size/type of engine? What types of materials used in construction?
What did you learn from Mk1?
