Good luck with maiden flight. Hand launch should be exciting to say the least with big prop in the back. Look forward to a successful first flight video.
Some other reviewers have already shared flight video, and there is a link in this video for some more details on launching, flying and landing! Happy flying!
Hi Lee, I solved the problem with overheating before starting as follows. I use an electronic switch and operate it with the 6 position switch on my Radiomaster TX16S. This allows me to switch the transmitter on or off very conveniently with the remote control just before starting. Greetings Didi
Kinda feels the FC and PDB could of been done better. Would of preferred connectors and supplied cables as a more plug and play scenario, especially as they are selling the entire electronics. Lovely looking plane though
I guess the TBS flight controller doesn't have a 10 volt power pad that you can put on a radio switch so you can turn on and off the video transmitter remotely?
wondering if the air brakes could be used as kind of a yaw motion? for example if I want to yaw to the right I would put the right wing flap up only... is this something you can or would want to do on wings typically?
I doubt it as they can only be safely raised only a small amount and cause a dramatic nose drop when they are. So, I'd expect moving just one would be 'interesting' ;)
Hi Lee! Thanks for the info but I have a lucid fc and for the life of me cant get correct battery voltage to show in osd, it comes up as total 6.4v and average cell at 3.4v roughly with fully charged 6s and 4s in series is the same, any tips?
Settings for the multipliers for the PDB you have will need tweaking for INAV as TBS didn't seem to list them last time I checked. I'm planning a video on how to do it...
Fantastic build, Lee! 😃
I'm definitely looking forward to the maiden!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Hi Lee, looks really nice. Might be my next plane. Waiting for the maiden, nice and informative video as always. 🙃
Thank you Lee for this informative set up video, cant wait to see the maiden flight!
Me too. I just hope Lee still posts it for everybody if he mangles it. But Lee doesn't strike me as the type that would.

I like how far from the fuse the motor is, nice clean air. I ordered one hopefully it comes before the summer wind starts blowing.
You have been my favorite forever

great review as always! cheers
Another good one Lee , does make me worry sometimes, how easy fpv can be now , I wouldn’t like to be dodging that in a field …. 😮
It looks easy but trust me, it's not.

Mo he tó. Perfecto . SALUD !!
Thank you

Correct

We have tested that so that you don't have to ;) NOT recommendable. Kind of makes me want a rudder mod for the vert, though...
How are you getting voltage telemetry running on 8s? I assume youre running the FC on 12v not vbat. Thanks.
The PDB handles that
.. Happy flying!
The lucid supports 8s

Inav fyi

I never understand why people put antennas outside the plane and poiting in the sky .
Check out the antenna lab series... Happy flying
@ OK, tank
Still sucks its not available…. Only for 150€ shipping from TBS 🤮
Ok, TBS can’t do anything about shipping costs 🤷🏼♂️
Once the flood of shipments come now that chinese new years is done, it'll go down.
