It's always a pleasure to watch your videos :) Epic until the end! Million of thumbs up and have a great week

I love your tail cam, landscape looks so great with this layout view.

4:52 that's a very good landing!

I love the high altitude footage, very peaceful looking.

I really like watching these kind of videos. I use fly weight shift ultralight trikes, but I can't afford it anymore. So this is the next best thing. I disabled & was wonder how much a basic setup like yours would cost. I would really like to purchase to purchase a glider, & perhaps make it solar powered to help make the battery life longer.

Simply Incredible! (Also anyone else think of Liza when the music came a couple of minutes in?)

That was gorgeous Mr. Webb!

So much freedom, The view is beautiful.

Wow what an awesome aircraft! I like that's its the controls are kept simple, as ailerons are just not necessary for an airplane built for this purpose.

I feel like I'm flying, this is awesome!

Kick ass flight guys! keep it up! I cant wait to see what kind of SAR work can be done with this bad boy!~

Awesome flight, great video and music!

Awesome plane, awesome flight, thumbs up! Cheers, Bob

Cool camera setup with gimbal in the front!

I'm baffled. Good job!

Really nice video man keep up the good work

great video man best setup ive seen yet

thats bad ass two thumbs up if i could, absolutely amazing footage and build

Great camera shots!

cameras can be added to the wingtips as well. making eh gemini a pusher would put the props in turbulent air, and cause vibrations, but would work. similar to the piaggio avanti aircraft, they have unique noise profile, if you have ever heard one. that noise is the pressure differential from the wing hitting the props. i don't consider it a good thing, but it could be done.

i know that sound!! i fell in love with it's design, a few occasionally fly out of my airport where i work. i thought the noise was caused by the exhaust hitting the props.

If you took this UAV up to its maximum altitude, then let it glide then take it back up to the max how far could you potentially travel, could it fly hundreds of miles

@FPVREVIEWS

7 жыл бұрын

it would fly the furthest at a relatively high altitude, without descending, because the air is thinner, and travel through it is more efficient. This is the strategy behind commercial air flights, and the reason they expend extra fuel to get to their cruising altitude. at sea level, the theoretical max distance is 120 km, with the 3kg battery pack, in stock configuration.

We just published a video on how to make the Battery, for those who have been asking!

awesome flight guys

Has to be the smoothest flying fpv going. It's manners in the air and on ground are unsurpassed

This was a wonderful video!

great job! would love to know more about the downlink equipment

very cool video guys! what video system did you use for the FPV and what long range control systems? this is impressive!

Excellent. Very nice setup

Excellent video. Great job.

More than creativity .... wonderful

Incredible work. Sorry if you mentioned this, but do you have to register this in any way?

Very Cool. You said the batteries recovered. Wondering if when you shut the motors down, the windmilling props charge the batteries? Cheers.

And what kind speed controller did you use for your plane gets more strong give the brushless spins super faster and what kind propellers did you use can you give me a links please

But what kind brushless motor did you use can you give a links please

Awesome! What kind of radio did you use? Any amplification device?

Any thoughts on putting the newer super-thin and light solar cells on the upper wing surfaces? There are single engine planes already on solar with sustaining battery life- they never run out. You could at least significantly increase duration this way...

Nice work, when is the arf version on sale.

I can't wait to do that with my 2.4 m ranger. Just saving up for a couple more parts

I've seen two approaches to high altitude, using lift and climbing relativily slow, and climbing very fast. still not sure which is the best, but the fast method does not need a very big plane.. ha ha. sounds like your ranger would be somewhere in the middle. Looking forward to seeing it. What equip are you running?

Graceful bird. Nice flight!

Nice flight !

So cool.. nice view from the sky

Simply one word: EPIC!!!!

very nice set up

So where i can buy those EZUHF rx and TX can you give me link of websites please but do you need taranis radio connects to EZUHF rx and TX and they needs to update it to use long range for your plane please

soooo what about doing a nose dive over the ocean then pulling up to test the strength of the wing?

But how did you get the antenna gives you 13,000 ft like very very super loong range like you can go more High but what kind fpv video transmitter did you use is and but how did you get the controller for your camera so you can move the camera any where on your plane from your rc plane transmitter is can you give me the links please

With this exact configuration and ground units, what would be the price

So beautiful!

What's your specs and what outputs settings did you use?

Does it have landing and navigation lights?

NIce!. You need flaps and speed brake to expedite the decent

this plane can be a spoting plane for arty and correct firing for them + what the range of this plane ? pretty nice plane you made there and sorry for my bad english

thats amazing. How much did it cost to build.

Where did this flight take place, please?

wow thats some altitude! makes the 120m limit in the uk seem rather paltry by comparison :)

Thank you. Love it I have to see if i can get this in my country Dam the law

Those are some funky intermissions...

Thanks 4 yr quick answer..here in Iraq we suffer high temp. weather since the end of April till the end of September..as u know temp. decreases about 6.5C each 1000meter higher..so in June ,July ,Augest & Sep. temp. at surface is 55-45C ...& that causes many electrical failure in the uavs..even the US troops got problems in using the RQ11 Raven ..as i read..any how i`m thinking of puchasing one..

I believe this Gemini could be flown with solar panels like the Solar Impulse. It would be the first RC to do so.

Did you or can you use Autopilot to return ?

Very nice!

outstanding! I'm building one.

is here trinity headtracker or diy arduino tracker?

great flight

Hi there how did you get the transmitter and receiver very super long range is 13,000 ft is for your plane to control it to go to over the clouds but more high can you give a links please and receiver box and video transmitter is but the video transmitter on your plane but do you need power on your plane receiver or battery connected and power to video transmitter is but how did you get all hobby parts for your plane and connect two brushless motors on your plane can you give a links please

Would be great if you could put the telemetry on screen.... :-)

+Salih Mehdi temperatures get less at higher altitudes, not more. so, no problem, just need insulation for extreme altitudes, and extreme low temperatures. At these altitudes, it is not a problem. it would be interesting to add an outside air temperature sensor to the plane, however. also a barometric sensor, so sense density altitude. alternately, airspeed could be compared with average groundspeed.

Very nice! What city are you in?

sorry, it says that it was piloted manually, but how is it possible that you re-pilot this plane manually at such long distances?

So just out of curiosity, how did you guys get up that high without any issues with the FAA? Did you file for a wavier/ COA or are you guys located out if the United States?

@FPVREVIEWS

7 жыл бұрын

We're outside the US. Actually laws in US have changed, and you can get a commercial license now. The FAA finally got reasonable, but seems to be favoring commercial operators, of course. Typical gov. favoring special interest, and industry over citizens, but whatever. at least you'll be able to get a job designing, repairing, or flying them now!

Wouldn't the air there be incredibly cold and take a toll on the battery and control surface? I've seen high altitude pilots struggle with frozen servos before.

the flight was made before many of the regs. we did check air traffic routes, and it was done in a country with very little air traffic. we also have an aviation handheld radio with the freq for the local airport.

Enjoyed the flight, just a question, was there any concern of large aircraft in the area?

@FPVREVIEWS

no concern. The area which we fly is a bit of a dead zone for air traffic between 100ft AGL and 20,000. we do monitor carefully for low level traffic. it's near an airport. this was also made before the regulations in our country.

it will depend on the local conditions, but in my limited experience, above 600 meters AGL is usually pretty clean, but there will be thin layers every so often up higher, as the transitions between layers shear. how many, and spacing will vary.

how much does this cost?

i really love it!

+FPV Flying yes, it's an MFD tracker. the 13db patch is modified to make it lighter, by removing the radome,and replacing the backplate with depron covered in alum. foil.

I asked on another video this may be a stupid question but could you extend the range of your transmitter by attaching antenna to something like say a balloon or a kite or maybe even a pole.. something that could go up pretty high to extend the range?

@FPVREVIEWS

2 жыл бұрын

yes, that would absolutely be a possibility. if you need the range for RF. lately, we're focusing mostly on full autonomy, which is even better for most applications, because the aircraft no longer needs to be in range to perform it's mission. There are circumstances which would require operator input, such as for certain types of decision making, but mostly, it can be eliminated, or compensated for my flying more auto missions, which costs almost nothing, and requires no operator for the majority of the flight.

I would like to see how high I could get without the use of drugs lol But seriously I would just like to see how I could get and take photos Or just say I did it You know what would be cool to build your own V2 but instead of going fast go real slow so slow that they won't be able to shoot you down because their rockets are too fast hahaha
