Nice to see this video as I was looking for the same plane. Thank you for making this ! But I am really disappointed by MFE to see that "PNP" for them basically means a kit with electronics, but not a ready assembled plane. PNP = plug and play , so you should (theoretically) be able to fly just by plugging a receiver witch is not the case here. Considering the very high price tag of this configuration (1600 euros for my location) i think it is an overkill and a big load of additional work before being able to fly. If you are in to this for hobby maybe it is not a big deal, but for a small business who build these "pro" or "semi-pro" platforms this means additional resources needed to be spent before getting up in the air.
It's true but it's a way to get a full platform very cheaply. Try to find anything on this scale fully assembled for < maybe $5,000 euros if you are lucky. Look around you might find a reseller who will assemble it for you.
There's quite a lot of space in the camera bay and you can get a standard mount for the Sony A7 for a downward facing camera. If the gimbal isn't too big I think it should work. Send me a link to the gimbal and I'll see if it will fit.
@@timtheplaneman I'm using mavic 3E and 3T for my mapping business. now i decided to switch to fixed wing mapping with this i can easy cover large area but i very much concerned about the data accuracy. btw i'm totally new to fixed wing mapping, when i get the gimbal info i'll share with you. you are doing a great mahn i really appreciate it..
I have the MFE Hero with cube orange, and it just works perfectly.
I'm very impressed. I've just about finished building it and it goes together well. It's a quality product.

That’s one big aircraft.
Nice to see your going right in to this project. I am wondering what the costs are? This looks an expensive project.
Yeah it's huge. You are right, but I have an anonymous donor who is helping, so all good! (I know who they are - they have asked me not to share). 🙂
@@timtheplaneman can you ask then to send some donations my way? 🤪
can we accommodate sony a7 series camera with 2 axis gimbal. also should i install gimbal for this one, what'd you think
