Very nice first look and first flights. Was had to tell difference between manual and auto/cruise as video for both seemed smooth. Lots of great info. (both in video and the description) In past ZOHD has made available servos, esc and motor available as spare parts, but that inventory dried up with logistics challenges of past couple years.
Good tip on the PNP vs Kit tail server gear issue. It would make me very sad to find out after the fact as I doubt I'd have servos that worked. A weird quirk of design. And what an awesome flying spot!
I noticed the stall on my maiden too. It recovers very quickly but it stalls at a higher speed than I’d expect. I flew it on cg with a 4s 3600 Lipo. You can’t glide in - power has to be kept on the whole time. I also noticed that it wants to pitch up as you add power. It wasn’t the perfect maiden, but with some time and tuning I’m sure it’ll be fine. Launch was zero drama with no fc.
"so fresh" and again..nothing forgotten to explane, and to talk about. A question for the VTOL-Version : Is there enough place in the front for placing the lipo more forward, to beware the right CG again..?❤
Hi Andrew! How do you get the osd font on DJI like that. Right now I have MSP port selected to get DJI osd working but I get all the question marks for the small font stuff. I have DJI goggles 2 and O3 if that is the difference?
Hi Andrew I’m having some issues with my SB405Mini…I’m on analog and at launch (38amp) my OSD completely disappears. I noticed in your video you only pulled 7amps and it’s a digital system which shouldn’t change anything I believe. I’m almost leaning towards the FC not handling the amps as I have been trying other bits from other models with no luck. I normally use Matek and this power setup is from on another air frame using the Matek FC without issues.
Vv is unfiltered so at that high throttle there is probably too much interference getting in to the FPV circuit. I would add an LC filter to the VTx power line.
You can increase the rudder % in the V-Tail mix but V-Tails have reduced rudder authority, so you need to fly more bank and yank I guess. Are you using a flight control board?
If you are using INAV you can have OSD with a few different systems, I’ve got it on DJI O3 and Caddx vistas. There are options for analog and Avatar as well.
Beautiful bay & coast made so much better with a birds eye view.
Yes it does!
Wonderful indeed #1. Very well explained & flown on such a lovely spot.
Thanks mate.

Yes everyone is out of stock here in Aus
Looks like this plane has grrat potential. Looking forward to your bench top discussion video.

Really helpfull tip in regards to tail servos, thank you🙏🏽
No problem 👍

Oh, good to get your confirmation about the wing dip.
Thanks Andrew 👍💪✌

Great video!!!
Thank you!!
I’m liking it! Thanks for the info! 🎉
Glad to hear it!
Very cool, nice Flyer 😊
Sure is
Yes.yes.bravo.thenks
😃
As always, some beautiful flying, right? Also, nice model for fpv. I wonder if it could take a full fledge gopro onboard while flying this nice.
Yes, space designed for it, but maybe not the latest larger GoPros
"so fresh" and again..nothing forgotten to explane, and to talk about. A question for the VTOL-Version :

Good question. Might need more weight forward
@@AndrewNewton YES.. more wheigt in the nose, cause of the YawMotor in VTOL-VERSION..
@@peterross9541 But more weight forward from the tilt mechanisms, so it may balance out.
Beautiful👍.
It seems smooth and steady. Because of the good tune of PID parameter of the flight controller, or the performance of the plane itself?🤔
Stable by itself. Good design

Pavel might answer your question ruclips.net/video/0OQDlcAeOV4/видео.html
how about the new fixed wind tail plane from atomrc called theer. hope to see you test it soon. Getting the altus soon.
👍🏻
Just love it #1…. Hobbyking Au now have PNP in stock delivered $260 so ordered one. The twin motor grabbed me. Have you ever flown out to that island?
Excellent Noel, it's a very smooth flier. Yes I have visited all the islands and beyond.
Wonderful Andrew! I meant, have you flown an fpv as far as the island?
@@Bellairvideo Yes, I meant I have visited via FPV
Wow, that is a fair way out. I flew a similar distance to an island off Coles Bay (East Coast Tas.) with the DJI Mini 3 pro FPV.

Great aircraft #1. I am finding it hard to turn though. ( long wide slow turns) Any thoughts to give it better rudder authority?
You can increase the rudder % in the V-Tail mix but V-Tails have reduced rudder authority, so you need to fly more bank and yank I guess. Are you using a flight control board?
many thanks Andrew. I have fitted a Spectrum AR630 receiver only & did increase the % in the v tail. I guess i am not used to a v tail yet😮
I've ordered the pnp version. What do you recommend for fvp? I'm new to fpv. Not wanting to break the bank.
Go to my blog (link in the description) and click the FPV tag for info. Best to try analog first because digital FPV will break the bank
very nice. would love to know how you got OSD in your video.
Or is that a avatar thing?
If you are using INAV you can have OSD with a few different systems, I’ve got it on DJI O3 and Caddx vistas. There are options for analog and Avatar as well.
WTFOS hack to make all the INAV OSD elements available, and the WTFOS web interface has an app to overlay the OSD on your video
I want one. Its Amazing it fly's so well with Anhedral ! you think Didedral would just be a natural thing to do !
Forward sweep, not anhedral
Wondering if it would do well with some 6042 Gemfan flash props ? 🎉
Yes I must buy some
ZOHD Rules
Ooooohhhh yeaaaa
@@skyforce1983 Hello Mate! Aahahahah
🤙
just out of interest: It looks like you're using WTF. What is the font set you are using?
SneakyFPV's Hemi font I think
Have you tried the VTOL, or a VTOL yet? If you have must have missed it.
Manta VTOL - www.youtube.com/@AndrewNewton/search?query=VTOL
I doubt that the engines of the equipped version consume 30a, we could buy that one and add some bigger ones.
Yes you could
Try to fly long range fpv sir
Not a good idea to show long range videos. The authorities are watching
@@AndrewNewtonit’s not even the authorities that’s watching. It’s all the lil snitches that love to report to the authorities.
🤔
Osd video is not smooth at all. Some rolling/wave like distortion on it...
Yeah, some pretty bad microvibration going on there. May just be the camera mount, or unbalanced prop/motor.
Might be bent motor shaft
