mike o Yes we will. We already test the stock wings with total 6KG weight, it works. But still need to measure the efficiency. And we are looking for an EU warehouse...
Congratulations! Nice shots of traffic and terrain! 7:35 that was very close! Why did you choose to fly so low? Winds around the island could have tossed the plane around. Why did you fly so late in the day? Sorry for the plane! Keep up the good work! Is this configuration for sale anywhere?
I calculated that based on a 80% usage of the 32A 6S lipo, 25,6A was available, which was consumed within 196 minutes. This equals a cruise consumption of 7,85A for both motors, equals 3,925A for each motor.
Aerialworks They were not very new batteries. We have about 22.3v (3.716v/cell) with loading. According to our experience these batteries can give out more 6000mah if we allow the voltage drops to 20.5v...
well, the rule is zero response, bad post sale service. I have this autopilot, i meda 2 tech questions, no response until now, one of the questions was , why the Amp meter jump up and down , i see a lof of videos and the same problem in each video. Have this problem any solution?.
Hi there! Did you watch your plane on OSD to WP1 all the time or you watched after you recover the plane next day? I meanig... did your AAT suport all the way round trip, could you see it even haven't no control over it?
Really awesome!!! Even this rally came into a crash you managed to pvove that this plane - this AP - this AAT earn literally a place among the best ones.
wo ok then it is no dream plane! 4 hours flight and under half this weight would be ideal, this is ridiculous! those 2 lipos 6s 16,000mah cost too much for average guys. the skyhunter is imho worth every penny. 2 3s 10,000 keeps it in the air over 4 1/2 hours and it still flies airy light with a beautiful glide rate. great job getting so much weight to fly in foam!
+TheTraumaFactor No. The Skyhunter is a kit that you have to buy. But I have found a few retailers that build them for you, so you can have it rtf. They can get you the plane, the groundstation, and everything you need. fliteevolution.com/product/fe-1800s/ . The plane is not hard to build by yourself, and it took me about 3 weeks, and maybe 1500 dollars. I really loved building it, and it wasn't a challenge even for me (a fourteen year old). Mine is capable of flying 2 hours, and maybe 10 miles away. With a custom battery with panasonic high capacity cells, the plane can go for 4 hours. I really recommend this for getting into fpv, building it yourself. The rtf kit by flite evolution is way overpriced but you ar also paying for the time to build them. You can find a 300 page thread on the airframe on rcgroups.com, with a lot of detail. Happy flying! Daniel :)
But wait a minute !!!!! this is not FPV , you just record a vedio offline and there is no alive link between plane and ground station . you depend on GPS and autopilot system to return back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great work! What type of LRS you used to control the plane? and what about the patch antenna you used on the AAt? how many dbi or gain?1 Thanks.. and keep up the good work! awesome!
So, you modified the wings? It's not the stock wings? Then this doesn't show anything about the Plane, because people that buy it won't have the modified wings... I would rather go with the QueenBee wing. I guarantee that will outfly this plane anyday
Nice, really nice. After few, this is my favourite plane. My MTD is all stock with power pack and MFD AP. With AAT is real pleasure to fly. Few questions: What video set up TX RX did you used? Those wing extensions, will you produce them for sale? I would really like to have them :) TNX for sharing this video. Cheers Adam
adamskiktm Aomway 1000mw VTX/VRX. We just modified 2 inner wings to extend this MTD. We cut the nacelles and use foam to make it smooth. That means we have 4 inner wings, and 2 outer wings on this plane :) Maybe will product some short wings for extending.
Hi there do u still carry the FPV plane with everything come with it? I didn't see on u web? I'm interested to get one for my self , and autopilot ,Automatic tracker AAT, can u tell me how much all together ? Thanks
This is what happens when dumb FAA does not exist in one country. A very beautiful flight indeed and a well developed LRFPV. This is definitely my dream, to fly an LRFPV the farthest I could. Nice vid man, good job on you LRFPV system too. Keep it up.
Full Details on the Wing Extension ?? How the Extension`s were Made and Fitted ?? Or Ordered Extra From THE Manufacture ?? Please SHARE ?? THE Information !!!!!!!
Very nice, congratulations, i bought a mtd and i finishing bluid it, i made some questions in mtd page, without response until now, i like to know, for example, the stock motors specifications. thank you
Hi Charles, I am very new to FPV. Can I ask a question, how can you fly long distance when I presume the MTD must lose line of sight with base station due to the curvature of the Earth ?
Would have been the perfect time to put on your landing and nav lights. After recovery and inspection of the aircraft, did you discover the root cause of loosing your OSD? Did your voltage get to low, interference or loose connection? etc. Awesome flight!
very good ,well done however you could have picked a better day and earlier, maybe you were so wrapped up in the technical side of things ,you missed the obvious .
wow that is really impressive! I've bought a LHI qav 250 and it's got a maximum range of 700 meters, which is good, so it really puts things in perspective! I'm going to buy the Skyprowler when that comes out, I wonder what the range on that will be.
6S 16,000 in parallel!!! HOLY CRAP!!! Very nice plane my friend, very nice indeed! I was thinking 4S x 16,000 but knowing I can use 2 is amazing!! Do you need 6S on here? Would 4S do it?
It depends on the airframe and what you have calculated in what needs to be for your applications. I have gone much further distances with a similar battery configuration with a cruise speed of 100mph.
It took about 98 minutes to the turning point at 100KM, return leg similar (I guess almost no wind) Average speed appr. 61 km/h = appr 38 mph = 33 knots
Aerialworks The AutoPilot maintained the avg. airspeed at about 55kmph. So the ground speed maybe vary... Returning home was much faster than going to WP1.
So did you have FPV and flight control the whole time? For example, could you have picked up the controller and started flying normally at any time or was this only possible because of the autopilot and onboard recording?
+LNX Gaming Probably autopilot for the above 60km away part. Usually the LRS doesn't work that far away. for the less than 60 km away, they could probably flick a switch and boom you can fly it again.
Congratulations MFD! What an achievement, you have proven your team. I was pondering which platform to get for FPV but after seeing this video, your products just jumped to the top of the list. It also looks like you are very engaged with your customers. Thank you for sharing this video hope to see more like it in the future.
Great video! I know you guys have put a lot of thoughts into planning this mission. Please post a walk around video of your setup! I'm utterly truly impress with your 5.8 system. Fly safe!!!
That is truly amazing, this sort of distance used to be reserved for gasoline powered drones
Not anymore.
Congratulations for the great distance achievement even it ended by a crash :D
That's amazing! 200KM
Thanks for sharing, that’s amazing. Wouldn’t be safer to parachute land? Please keep posting new challenges
I've always enjoyed this MTD flight. Fantastic airplane.
how do we get the wing extensions?
Well done. Next time you have to do it with the stock wings ;) Please make the plane available from a local EU warehouse.
mike o Yes we will. We already test the stock wings with total 6KG weight, it works. But still need to measure the efficiency. And we are looking for an EU warehouse...
+MyFlyDream . Greetings Sir I am working on a similar project for whale watching and any advise you can help me with is most welcome. Thank you

I give you my address and take one and make it to fly here :3 i pay you
Amazing. WOW
What motor, RX/TX and propeller did you use?
Loved the video hate that you crashed. Do you not have lights on it so you can see it at night?
Awesome FPV ride!! Wich frequency was used in the Aomway 1000mw VTX/VRX?
Nice footage and a very impressive plane. Brave of you to fly is over so much water.
Excellent video and music, congratulations on flight!
Hi there! Did you watch your plane on OSD to WP1 all the time or you watched after you recover the plane next day? I meanig... did your AAT suport all the way round trip, could you see it even haven't no control over it?
Really awesome!!! Even this rally came into a crash you managed to pvove that this plane - this AP - this AAT earn literally a place among the best ones.
I am shocked! Good job guys. Maybe it is a time to try LI ION batteries?
wo ok then it is no dream plane! 4 hours flight and under half this weight would be ideal, this is ridiculous! those 2 lipos 6s 16,000mah cost too much for average guys. the skyhunter is imho worth every penny. 2 3s 10,000 keeps it in the air over

Nice now do it with the *AL37 airliner*
Great work!
What type of LRS you used to control the plane? and what about the patch antenna you used on the AAt? how many dbi or gain?1
Thanks.. and keep up the good work! awesome!
Charles, do you have any information about the retractable landing gear that I saw some time ago?
So, you modified the wings? It's not the stock wings? Then this doesn't show anything about the Plane, because people that buy it won't have the modified wings... I would rather go with the QueenBee wing. I guarantee that will outfly this plane anyday
Amazing stuff, well done!
Do you sell the complete package of this long range version?
The patch antenna that you sell in your web page, is linear or circular polarization?.
Hello on this flight you are using 5.8GHz? Thanks.
If you had took off in the early morning, you would have came back home safetely, for sure!!!wasted time and destroyed model! :(:(:(:(
I wish this would be available in EU, the shipping and tax to Slovakia, is more expensive that the plane :(
Great!!! But i can recommend to try PITLAB OSD for you.
Nice, really nice.
After few, this is my favourite plane. My MTD is all stock with power pack and MFD AP. With AAT is real pleasure to fly. Few questions:
What video set up TX RX did you used? Those wing extensions, will you produce them for sale? I would really like to have them :)

that was awesome, but why you lose the last minutes of the FPV camera? i dont fully understand that
Русские есть?
What video transmitter and reciever r u using?
Wow... wow, wow" Did any one notice those two 10K Milli amp bricks on that plane! The batteries alone have to be at least 5 pounds!!
Nice flight but primitive beginners fault: Launching close to sunset ! !
How much does the plane take off weight ??
Pretty cool.. Too bad this sort of thing is illegal in the states...
Full Details on the Wing Extension ?? How the Extension`s were Made and Fitted ?? Or Ordered Extra From THE Manufacture ?? Please SHARE ?? THE Information !!!!!!!
How many watts is video transmitter and which is the sensitivity of receiver on dbm?Thanks and very good project
Very nice, congratulations, i bought a mtd and i finishing bluid it, i made some questions in mtd page, without response until now, i like to know, for example, the stock motors specifications. thank you
I wonder if all that nasty smog gave it additional lift?
Absolutely disgusting.
Looks cool. This sort of flying is illegal now in my country.
Hi, Anybody know the stock motors specifications?, i ask to mtd but i have not any response until now. thank you
what was your video set up for this flight?
Hi Charles, I am very new to FPV. Can I ask a question, how can you fly long distance when I presume the MTD must lose line of sight with base station due to the curvature of the Earth ?
Love how the camera captures those propeller.
Would have been the perfect time to put on your landing and nav lights. After recovery and inspection of the aircraft, did you discover the root cause of loosing your OSD? Did your voltage get to low, interference or loose connection? etc. Awesome flight!
Hello Mr. MyFlyDream,What do you used (ezuhf) or (Dragonlink) ?
Best Regards,,Abdullah.
Hi
How much capacity (mah) are you used in this flight?
32ah 6s
congratulations, awesome flight, do you know the total weight with bats included?
very good ,well done however you could have picked a better day and earlier, maybe you were so wrapped up in the technical side of things ,you missed the obvious .
wow that is really impressive! I've bought a LHI qav 250 and it's got a maximum range of 700 meters, which is good, so it really puts things in perspective! I'm going to buy the Skyprowler when that comes out, I wonder what the range on that will be.
the video receiver is very important. which your video receiver 5.8GHz?
Sorry for your loss. but still a leap of your achievement! CONGRATULATIONS!
Why u not fly it in the morning???
hi charles, we did a 100kn flight some time ago, but only doing a circuit slightly longer than 1km, running on 6S
Don't forget install some real bright white LEDs and flashing red and green LEDS lighting system in your plane.
But the weather condition is so poor :((
And after 200km flight, i felt the plane deserve better than landing like that :(
how do you guys make a 16000 mAh battery last for more than 3 hours when this battery in my plane only last 20 to 30 minutes
6S 16,000 in parallel!!! HOLY CRAP!!! Very nice plane my friend, very nice indeed! I was thinking 4S x 16,000 but knowing I can use 2 is amazing!! Do you need 6S on here? Would 4S do it?
It depends on the airframe and what you have calculated in what needs to be for your applications. I have gone much further distances with a similar battery configuration with a cruise speed of 100mph.
200KM of flight is an achievement!!!
WHAT VTX SYSTEM ARE YOU USING?
you should have been expecting this to Hallen why didnt you put some led straps in the fuslage or in the wingtips?
Great job, very inspiring! Its funny how it crossed the sea and 'landed' in a pool hehe
Do you sell the complete package of this long range version? that way I dont have to start from zero.
Fake! Mist clouds, do you think I'm an idiot or what!!!
So average speed is 80KMH?
Impressive flight. All the time I was wondering how is the OSD video so clean... and you had been recording it on-board :)
Si es así es un excelente vtol. Cual es el precio
Did the plane have video signal the whole way? Thats incredible if it did at only 400ft high
amazing,which radio controll can provide 100km flying?
could you please tell me the fpv video transmitter and receiver along with their antennas that were used in this flight.
SO MUCH TECHNOLOGY IN A SEA OF POLLUTION THAT DID NOT SEE THE VIEW THAT NEED?
Is it fog or smog you're flying in?
is that ground dvr or on board the plane dvr
Exellent video, nice production, abundance of explanation, epic venture, BRAVO !!!
i also have MFD . can you send me your email to contact this plan or any other way to contact you
What was voltage of Lipos when you recovered them?
sorry to ask: but why is the plane decending over time ?
What did you expect, leaving just before 4 in the afternoon for a three hour tour?
Nice long range reception
Incroyable
fpvlab.com/forums/showthread.php?20039-Personal-Bests-V5-(LEARDERBOARDS)
The world record is 161.13 km out and back, total 322,26
Aerialworks OK I am NO.4 on the list now... That's a new record for MTD, not a world-record :)
Aerialworks And as I remember, NO.3 record was created by a glider...And they reject COMPLETE AUTOPILOT FLIGHTS lol
Aerialworks Just check it out... NO.1 and NO.2 use gasoline engines. NO.3 is a glider. Will use a standard wingspan MTD to NO.3 position first :)
It took about 98 minutes to the turning point at 100KM, return leg similar (I guess almost no wind) Average speed appr. 61 km/h = appr 38 mph = 33 knots

how much more weight this plane could do with same distance ?
Hi, would you send me inquiry for the complete set and also the payload?
Could you publish eguipment of the model you used?
Really great video and plane. I especially like how you go farther than most people would ever go with these planes!
how long did you have radio/video contact with the plane?
Great video! I know you guys have put a lot of thoughts into planning this mission. Please post a walk around video of your setup! I'm utterly truly impress with your 5.8 system. Fly safe!!!
hi
great distance !!! what is the wing extend material used
great work,,
do you have video about how you extended your wing span ?
Hi
How do you use RC link and video?What RC and video antennas?
