  Thanks Adam for this awe inspiring detailed video, I am owner of a FLsun V400 and wonder if you think it would be possible to 3d print the wing? I started printing wings with 70cm span in vase mode but not yet tested in air.

  I have this one ordered now im a bit sad... not with the speed part but when you said/showed it with slight amount of wind... Could you somewhere rank the models? Most importantly is stability, 20-25min flighttime, dji O3 compatibility without the model in view somewhat secured in the front and also no overheating, most importantly easy disassembly for transport/storing at home.

  I also have the AtomRC Penguin, Swordfish and Dolphin. Of the 4, I like flying the Penguin the most. It's not very fast but it is incredibly stable and the fpv component positioning is the most well thought out of all 4. Second would probably be the Dolphin, because you can make it go really fast and it just flies really well. Swordfish would be my #3 because I was disappointed with FPV gear location but it is quite nice to fly -- just less fun than the other 3. The RTH versions of these models are great, because the F405 Navi they've added work beautifully with DJI components. I've now flown my Altus a couple of times, and I haven't been very happy with stability and wing loading -- it feels like it can take a lot of battery, but it actually can't.

  By a very very long way the most stable plane is the Ritewing Drak (full sized). Another plane that might suit you that's very stable and easy to break down for transport is the Mini Crosswind. Very stable plane also

  Hi! Congratulations and thanks for the video!! It's very helpful. I am getting into the FPV world, and have some questions: I am developing a fixed wing. I want to have two cameras, one fixed analog runcam to fly, and a second gimbal camera (SIYI A8 or similar) to track objects. In both cases the video would be live. Is this GS able to stream both signals in long range flights? Thanks!

• 
  @AdamGdoesFPVКүн бұрын

  Hi, this setup is not designed for streaming 2 signals.If I was doing that I'd probably consider this ground station for receiving the FPV feed and then I'd add a second transmitter for the gimbal on 5.8g, probably digital.

  @Salomon1502Ай бұрын

  Love your videos-straight to the point. This plane might be my style of flying. Thanks for the honest and professional opinion Adam. Honestly, Adam, I've watched many similar videos about this model, but others complained that you have to put in a large battery to balance the CG (center of gravity) or that they almost crashed the twin-engine plane during a failed hand launch. Consequently, their reviews of the product miss the point, considering that all it takes is adding a few grams of weight to the tail. This was trivial and obvious to you, but for some reason, it didn't occur to other 'professional' FPV pilots, which immediately reflected negatively on their reviews of this plane.

• 
  @AdamGdoesFPVАй бұрын

  Hey buddy, thanks for watching and for the great feedback :) I try not to watch other reviews so that it doesn't influence mine, so I didn't realise this was the case with the other reviewers, very interesting! I actually expected the launch to be a bit sketchy but as you saw it went out with no issues at all... even on a day with zero wind! Odd that the other reviewers wouldn't think to add a little weight. I really try to avoid it when possible and it's very rare that I need to. 10g isn't the end of the world though :) Thanks again 🙌

• 
  @mhk10584 күн бұрын

  You do have to put in a large battery or weight up front if you aren't using that longer nose. I still had to add weight to the front using a 320gm 3500mah 4s lipo. Maybe different using a big Li-ion and that long nose adds quite a bit of leverage to the 40-50gms of VTX and camera.

  Nice review and just general thoughts on this plane. RCGroups, and the member you mentioned, has been a treasure trove of info for me in my fixed wing journey. I’m really enjoying mine, I just put the AtomRC pan servo on mine in the GPS location and moved the GPS to the rear hatch. It’s working well and hasn’t seemed to affect launch or anything else. I wish I could find the 7000mah battery in stock somewhere but it seems to be unavailable everywhere.

  Hey, thanks for watching and for the comment. Yes his design skills are obviously very good and he seems a knowledgeable guy, so I don't doubt what you say 😃 Interesting setup you've gone for, I do like a pan, and it's also fun when the plane is in shot (some people don't like that). I think ZOHD stopped making the Lionpack a long time ago, at least the 7000 anyway. Seems that 95% of people are flying with DIY packs. Cheers

  I actually don’t have the SF anymore, sold off a lot of planes this spring, but the SF is one I do miss a bit actually. From memory there was no way I could get CG with that 4s2p. With just a 3,000mah 4S it was too nose heavy until adding the tail fins. That’s what I mean about the SF not being suitable to load up with a large battery like the Altus

  Wow amazing how you managed to get those 2 high speed crashes back home. Maybe PLA (LW?) or a stronger 3d printing material is better than foam - it's better if something breaks than if it distorts, and foam probably distorts way easier than PLA would break I think. Then again, maybe they wouldn't make it home so I don't know...

• 
  @AdamGdoesFPVАй бұрын

  For me foam is way better than any 3D printed plane. One small knock and they brake as they’re brittle. Have to try and separate sections without damaging them to replace broken part with fresh print. Foam can be fixed and reshaped in minutes or even just in the field with a portable hot glue gun (been done many times 😅)

  I've had to clear my workshop to store all the wood for my shed build. In the process I had to pack down all my planes that were hanging on the walls, back into the transport boxes I used to move into my new house. My Albabird can't be packed down though, because I soldered the ESC power wires directly onto the flight controller, so the wings can't come off. So for now, the Albabird is right here next to me, in my home office. Seeing this video, and looking over at the Albabird, there's no way I'm just going to give up on this hobby, even though I haven't flown since May 2022.
