Max ground clearance is max 9 inch props. Some fly with slightly bigger props (10 inch or more) and say they do not have an issue if the ESC has a break feature, but I can't confirm that.
you have plenty of room in the main payload bay. Look at my presentation video where I give more details. You can for example put a Sony NEX5 camera in landscape mode easily.
How do you feel the xuav cloud fares as a mapping platform compared to the talon? I had a camera mount for the alpha / nex series of cameras in landscape mode printed up for the talon, but its still a pain width-wise with the multiport trigger. How does efficiency / airtime compare (I have some of the extensions for the talon as well)? Should I just go for a large wing instead at that price point (ie the skywalker x8)
Плохо что вы не укрепили фюзеляж двумя карбоновыми палками. Вдоль. Этот корпус легко ломается при жесткой посадке пополам. Там нет никаких усиливающих деталей в фюзеляже.
If google's trnaslation is right, I understand you advise for carbon tubes reinforcements along the fuse, in case of crash. The XUAV Talon frame had indeed carbon tubes reinforcements along the fuse. This model does not. But in my experience, with a few crashes I did, this frame held good enough. Actually the absence of a rigid carbon structure allows the nose of the fuse to act as a bumper. In my last crash, it smashed the nose and that saved the rest of the plane with a very easy repair : just boil water, drop the smahed foam parts in it and they wil take their original shape back.
@@HuguesD Я вклеил четыре палки из карбона. Диаметр 3мм. Длина 20 и 40см. В нижнюю часть фюзеляжа, в стенки. Это значительно укрепило самолет. А нос и все кромки крыла обклеил скотчем с армированием. Это очень хороший скотч для ударов при краше. Ну и я делаю приземление на парашюте, не люблю без него. У Clouds парашют имеет отсек в стоке.
Very neat, clean and encouraging build
thx
Very nice build, good job Hugues!
thx!
Nice build.
The power plate as it is called, you could reference to make the purchase, I would appreciate it.
Good video
It is my Airbotpower board. (www.airbotservices.com)
On this model you can install a 13 inch prop?

Is there a spot for a downward facing camera? If so, any idea of the dimensions?

Also, are those xrotor escs you're using in a plane? Is there anything special you need to configure for those?
yes, xrotors 50 amps. They are configured like any other ESCs.
