Glad to see an upload would love to buy a laser kit but it requires so much time i don’t have to give i recommend selling assembled sections at a reasonable cost for those of us that either dont wanna build or have the time to do it due to life stuff like work and family and ill gladly be the first customer
Thanks for your feedback. I’ve heard lots of similar interest in RTC, RTF, RR, etc. Been working in that direction. It does make sense to sell sections so assemblies can be replaced or upgraded as needed. Also so people can work on integrating payloads, etc with fuselage section before purchasing wings and tail, or other components. Great idea 💡!
That's a sweet airplane - plenty of excess power with good stability and a good glide. I like the configuration, it's very clean and straightforward in it's construction (i'm a fan of the 3 panel wing), but nice and light. Splendid stuff.
drastically lower parts count. also use of 3d printing, and lighter materials. Especially the plywood, which is about 40% lighter than the previous wood that was used for the kit. we are using more of it, so the aircraft is actually more robust as well. not changing anything about the aerodynamics, as the original design works so well. Also now recommending a higher voltage 6S propulsion system.
@@FPVREVIEWS Being lighter & flying 6S packs would make the Gemini V2 the Ultimate Observer UAV! Your previous records of +4h endurance & +4km altitude are about to be surpassed! Any idea's to break your personal records? And I'm curious in what configuration the 6S packs will be - Assuming the lighter & more robust fuselage would allow a heavier battery (which would match the previous V2's AUW)
There are many battery configurations possible. most users also carry a payload, so really, once the payload is defined, the rest of the weight can be allocated in battery. But yes, It could carry a much larger battery. Standard 60 cell configuration is NCR18650GA in 6S 10P configuration. Should be able to climb way beyond 4km alt. Limitations last time for Alt. were that I did not push the power system at all, relatively low percentage of amp draw, and control system range. I have Crossfire now, better video system, autonomy, and better antennas. have since flown a smaller plane to flight level 21 in more recent video. my main concern is freezing the battery, so may go in stages next time. @@AeroStuffFPV
@@FPVREVIEWS Looking forward to that! Hope to see those test on the channel, But there's one thing... What are your thoughts on the implementation of RemoteID?
Thankfully I'm not in the US at this time. Remote ID is la poorly conceived idea by people who do not understand the technology, or care about the unintended consequences of their rules. Almost all of the regulation for model aircraft is not about safety at all. IMO it should be ignored when it does not have to do with safety. Study local airspace and make a common sense plan. @@AeroStuffFPV
Have you guys looked into openIPC? I think you would be interested, it's open source HD, quite experimental right now, but interesting enough! 35-50ms latency, HD. What system do you use currently?
Hello again, Nice to see you still work with your planes,
Awesome video Spike... Rob

Good to see you back!
Good to see you back posting videos. Are you still doing custom builds for people in the US ?

Thanks 🙏
It flew beautifully. Descent rate was surprisingly slow considering the twin 17” windmilling props. 😁
Sweet maiden, congratulations!
What are the main improvements on the new airframe, compared to the original?

Beautiful!
Very very nice !!! Great job Dude 😉😎
Excellent!
How many hours approximately takes to assemble the airplane from laser cut kit?
good question

What system do you use currently?
