PLONE OR DRANE! This was hilarious, but I think that this aircraft is so awesome because it combines both experiences, flying a drone and a wing whenever you want... It is also very nice to see those "different ones", cheers!
That wasn't the air-speed calibration Ken....that was the Interlock device. LOL
As a novice I think that you guys are having entirely to much fun. Straighten up and tow that barge!!! It does look like a bit of fun though. On the down side, it doesn't appear to be as responsive as a quad drone. But... Having a wing may let it fly further than a quad drone. In any case, it is an interesting concept!

PLONE OR DRANE! Loved watching that transition from drone to plane in mid-air. I had to rewind the transition 3 times, just to make sure I saw it! Amazing!
PLONE OR DRANE!! This was a hilarious video, but it does look like a fun system to fly once you get the hang of it!
Ken, call Dave and ask him for one of those TrueRC dual patches for your goggles. You’ll got a lot more range than just those stubbies, that’s how I get the insane depth into places like caraway. Missed you buddy, we gotta fly again soon.

Does the set of patch antennas work with DJI Goggles v2 and the DJI FPV Racer Drone? (Frequency Ranges = 2.4ghz and 5.x or just 5.xghz)? And… do you happen to have a valid link? Thanks!
PLONE OR DRANE? Ken you never fail to make me laugh. Always a good thing to laugh at yourself! Good mental health practice.

plone-drane that's what I say. great video. at one point I thought it was going to fly off into no man's land. there must be a way to keep the parameters in memory, maybe..
Probably have to go with Plone. It does look like a lot of fun. And you'd be able to fly a plane without a traditional runway.
“PLONE OR DRANE” is a Drone hybrid Plane 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻 Was a good flight even though everything was in Chinese 🤟🏻

To PLONE OR DRANE is the question.
Attack of the Plone! That’s what this video should be called. And yes please.
Plone! The main flying experience is a fixed wing. Love the videos!
PLONE or DRANE? Love this concept ever since i saw a similar design in quantix recon drone. I think that in airplane mode it should be much more energy efficient than a regular quadcopter. It is a pity that the declared signal transmission range is 3-5 kilometers, and not 10-15. I live in Zaporozhye, Ukraine. The front line is located 30 kilometers from our city. If I somehow miraculously win, I'll give it to the guys from the territorial defense forces to look after the russian enemies.

"PLONE or DRANE" As always a great video! For me is a plone because I'll use it most of the flight as a plane.
Plone or Drane. My auto correct was messing with Plone or Drane 😆 That looks like it would be really fun fly. Thanks for sharing Ken.
"Plone or Drane?" I'm going with Drane which rhymes with plane. Flying isn't a pain. And I surely won't need my cane! Yeah.... I'll show myself out.

After the calibration it looked like it was going down the Drane, but you finally Pl-ONE me over with it - so it's a Plone! thanks for the great video Ken!
Great Review and Great Flying Ken and Jason. PLONE. Thank You.
Plone or Drane....😊 nice videoediting in the beginning... you put both wings on...then a wing was blown away... and all of a sudden... both wings are of the wing and then... all of a sudden ...after the comment about needing the wings.... both wings are off... and then in the next clip both wings are on again... nice Ken... you should be a Magician...😂😂
Oh, you did the classic Calibration Fart! Not often you'll see or hear those today. 😅🇸🇪❤

“Plone or Drane” I’m gonna say it’s a plane with a FPV soul in it! But it also lands as a drone that can help noobs like me to not crash, or maybe crash in style! 👍
That thing is so kool! I'm glad you went through the learning curve and we won't lol Thanks Ken!
PLONE OR DRANE!! Allowing you to do the happy dance on the runway.
DRANE! Thanks for all your hard work Ken. Love the Chanel.
Phone or Drane! Looks like alot of fun my son will really have a blast watching me fly it. Thank you.

"PLONE OR DRANE? That is the question", said Heliman Flysphere.
For sure plone lol I'm also impressed with how well it seems to withstand the wind considering how wide it looks. "But you do need the wing" lol
Looks like a nice eVTOL Thsnks for sharing.
I would say it’s a Drane, because it takes off in drone mode than becomes a plane. Looks like an interesting piece of draneware. I could see the fun with experimenting with advertising banner’s and sky writing. Lol.
Plone or Drain? Not sure. You should check out the Zmo-120 VTOL FPV plone, you can still see when in drone mode!
"Plone or Drane?" Looks like a Plone to me lol! Great video
Drane - Really just a fancy vertically assisted launch device in "drone" mode vs hand launching. Add some ailerons tied to the second switch with dual rudders, and it'd be the best of both worlds potentially.
PLONE OR DRANE? I loved when the wind blew away the wing and he was just completely calm and didn’t even skip a beat. This thing looks like so much fun. But it’s definitely a plone.

Drane. First a drone to get your altitude then a plane for flyin’. Easy peasy. Loved the demo and outtakes. Keep flying. Head in the clouds feet on the ground. 👨🏼✈️
PLONE....that hilarious 🤣 great vid.
DRANE. And yet another informative & hilarious vid. Thanks again Ken 😃
Drane - because a drone can behave like a plane, but a plane can't act like a drone - at least that is was my little brain is telling me! : )
PLONE OR DRANE!! This has a steeper learning curve but looks like one heck of a lot of fun. Congrats for braving all the unknowns on camera and showing it to us!

PLONE or DRANE? I love VTOLs. They are so revolutionary especially for agriculture and firefighting uses. I am a cadet at my local volunteer fire dept here in Oregon and I convinced my chief to get three drones for wildland firefighting. We love them! We have probably had around 200 hours of training on them.

I just saw a news article about some university i think in the US trying to design a vtol fixed wing drone/rc plane combo.. And my only thoughts to them... GOOD LUCK AND PLEAASE SEND ONE TO KEN!
“PLONE OR DRANE ?” It looks like a Drane to me Ken. :) and fun in either mode.
I like PLONE. It took that first crash like a tank, plone sounds sturdier.
Plone or Drane ! That looks bloody awesome !
I always liked the VTOL saves battery so well. You did well figuring this one out. Its is neither it is VTOL!!! PLONE OR DRANE
Plone or Drane, gotta be Plone for me Ken. Great video as always

“It foams as it drains” you can’t beat that selling point. Looks way cool, but it’s not a DJI.

I was waiting for the turning radius to be further then the control links ability :D
You obviously didn't watch Captin Drones review of it, he explained that it does not save the data you input , he found that a bit if a bummer, the company will probably release a better model in the future. So keep an eye out .
Good stuff
