Great to see you back! The Hero is a great build and looks like a very flexible, capable machine. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with it in the future.
@@AnotherTrucking Thanks! Yeah, has been a chore to get back being able to fly my own planes and finding the time to put a video together, but hopefully I will be able to do this now more often than once a year! 🤣
Thanks for another really interesting video. I've tried flying a quadcopter using a headtracking gimbal. It was very disorienting. Like you, I added a second camera for a more conventional FPV experience. I have the gimbal camera on a separate transmitter (O3) and use it for my "passenger." I use the stationary camera but the passenger is free to look around using the headtracking gimbal. I'm looking forward to your future videos about this aircraft.
@@ddegn Thank you! Yeah, a stabilized view is very weird on these birds, but at the very least the copter can stop in one place and you can look around and get your bearings... a plane however... never stops, which makes things even more weird, but at least SIYI have a hub module that allows you to switch between two cameras in flight, which is very useful!
@@sarahdaviscc They are good! Go for it. Just don't get the Fighter, too big, too draggy! This one is better, but then it depends what you want to do with it.
"involuntary stall test" indeed! Well handled sir, I would have lost a diaper for sure 😅. It's great that this plane fits back in the box for transport - wish they all did. Also, even in 2024: never ever trust a gimbal. Good stuff - I hope you get to do more cloud chasing.
@@qcsupport2594 Haha, well I've been at this for over 10 years now, have broken more planes than you can count and lost the ability to panic a LONG time ago! 😝 Once you been through this 100 times you sort of start keeping it together and thinking straight. The box is awesome, they actually sell a proper transport case, but at $500 a pop before shipping... think I'll pass for the time being. Gimbal is getting better, but there is still work to be done on it! In all honesty, Topotek gimbals are rock solid performers!
Well done. Sometimes our projects take longer than we would like. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more... and I am interested in the ZR-10 Camera as well... would love to see if you can get it working well. 🙂
@@CarlosChavez-gs1ld Thanks! Yeah, I am keen on making the gimbal work well as it is quite fun to be able to zoom in on something from a long way away!
@@icp-trek Yeah, they use the motor mount and the cover for it to cool it, so its basically just the PCB, save a good deal of weight! Very nice solution. 🙂
yay
@@andsto 🙂👍
Great to see a new video
@@wing_it Thanks! 😁
Great video as always Niko always a pleasure watching your next video take care and Merry Christmas looking forward to the next one
Thanks mate! Merry Christmas to you too!
Nice to see you back and with this incredible airframe in flight!!! Cant wait to see the review of the Siyi system.
@@legui83 Thanks mate, that will be coming soon!

@@imbok Thanks! I am hoping for that too! 😁
Merry Christmas and fantastic video again. Thanks...
@@TomFRUclips Thank you! Merry Christmas 🎄
Incredible VTOL and setup. Hope he'll serve you well.
Thank you for the video.
@@oneistar6661 Thank you! I hope so too!
Every video you produce has shown excellent tips and techniques regardless of a good or bad outcome. The lesson(s) learned hold great value. Thanks!
@@sherwoodp2738 Yes, they do! Thank you! 🙂
Great, finally an upload and I've got to work
@@thrilleex Not to worry, that's what the weekend is for! 😝
Amazing, Glad your okay and to see a vid again seems to have been a while time is very precious and can be hard work creating content around real life

I'm soooo keen to have a MFE VTOL.

very nice!

Really great sir.👍👍👍.. But also make a complete guide video about the programming of this 4+1 uav with mission planner....
@@zahidhamood6079 Thanks. I just might. Have a lot more videos to make on gear in this plane so you will be seeing a lot of it in the coming weeks. :)
@ArxangelRC that's great I'll be waiting... 👍
@@zahidhamood6079 🙂👍
The ESC weighs 49 grams?
