Perfect timing JD! I have VTOL in my virtual shopping cart but the force told me to slow my roll. BAM, your video drops and your review, crash, flight instructions, and what glue to us was money! When I saw the first video, I was like, what the hell is this? Your sheer enthusiasm got me hyped, lol. Dude, MEGA props! It's a drone, it's a plane, it's a glider, and it's a bird!
I have a Horizon model Osprey (discontinued) The Osprey has the same tri-motor front tilt set up. The critical flight operation is the same as the fu!l size Osprey, only transition to and from vertical and horizontal flight into the wind. If you transition downwind or crosswind it will not be stable. Nice review, keep having fun Justin.
Hi, congratulations on the content of your channel! I bought the Manta Vtol months ago, but due to inexperience I haven't managed to fly it yet. I am stuck on programming my boxer radio (don't know what kind of profile to choose and how to configure the controls, etc.). Also, I know a little about “Betaflight” and “Inav,” but going into “Mission Planner,” I didn't understand anything about it and gave up. I've already made all the connections, installed a 1W TBS Unify Pro 32, an ELRS diversity RX from Radiomaster, but I'm stuck with the computer. Maybe I'm asking too much, but I could really use a video where you show us how to program everything before the first flight. I already tell you that in these months I have not found anything as satisfactory and clear as your videos, maybe you might be interested in doing that. Renewed congratulations on the channel. Simone
I highly recommend using the QLoiter mode for takeoff. It is so much more stable that the standard QStab mode and it will arm only after acquiring GPS lock. If you want RTL to work, you absolutely have to wait for GPS lock or you will lose your plane.
I'm tempted about getting a fixed wing for something different from my drones this seems like a good stepping stone, but I'm nervous about setup & don't want it to become a wall hanger.
The Manta sounds like what I’m looking for. I’m new into drones, but see a great potential for what I’m looking for. I recently purchased the SG 100 Plus 2 a quad type copter for my trainer. I’m wanting to put thermal imaging on the Manta and set it up for security and personal fun. Do you feel the DJI and Thermal can be done in this craft. I mountain bike and want to explore trails for potential assaults. Also check out several local parks and my neighborhood. Several mountain bikers have been assaulted and once myself with a narrow escape. Thank You Much for your professionalism and knowledge.
Hi there I got the manta pnp version after I saw your video , it’s a brilliant little vtol I’m just having a really hard time to get the osd work with the dji o3 any ideas to make my life easier ? Thanks in advance
Aye!! I have the omp hobby vtol wing I should let you borrow it it's the $1000 one look at giz video on it some bs but you should get a review on it I haven't flown it but once to test it hovers but never had a good place to test the transition. I'ma try to make it to fpvwest end of October you said what date?
Great vid. Would love something like this for long beach cruising and slope soaring the dunes for fun and extra efficiency. I was wondering how wonky the 03 gd fpv feed would be. Do you have any footage of 03 in fixed wing fast forward flight in a moderately windy condition? Will be interesting to see how good image stablizing is.
Just got mine from Fimi. Just looking over contents. I have an SBUS setup. Not sure if I need to solder wires to the SBUS pads as some say an SBUS wire is included. Do you happen to know if that is true as I'd prefer to plug into a rec port on the FC rather than soldering wires on it?

I am WAAAYYY to into this thing! lol, my newest first aircraft I take to the field.
@dronecamps oh dude I could tell lol. I'm so new to planes that VTOL is gateway dope!

TOTALLY GETTING ONE!!!
I have been looking for something new to try and this looks like a blast!! Thanks!!
Man it’s an adventure and feels safer than a larger drone

Ty for making this review. Iv got an old xk450 vtol and have been eyeing this 1 on aliexpress. Love me some vtol action.
Me too!

Miss you brotha!!! N great video as always!!
Cenabite dnb fpv
Nice video... would you know if the esc's that come with the unit are blheli s? thanks
Ttow words..Zip ties! :) Thanks for the cool review:)
hmmm i wonder if the skydroid c12 camera gimbal combo weighing 117g would be too much
Hello, which Frsky receiver would you recommend for the FIMI Manta VTOL model? I have the PNP-FC version. Thanks for the reply

Thanks in advance
Parrot Disco 2.0 lol. Thanks for the review!
Ha not quite I wish! 😂
How did you get the USB connection on the fimi FC in order to use configurator?
Still waiting for mine.... Please share a link for that antenna... Is the antenna compatible with walksnail?
That is cool thanks for sharing would it work with flysky or not ¿??

Ayyeeee cool!!! Not sure why they didn’t send me one. We’re totally versed in fpv planes and vtol. FPVWEST will be the weekend before Halloween
No rtf version?

It’s actually amazing for windy stabilized video. I’ve been surprised by it. Thought it would be unusable. Dji 03 stabilization is pretty good.
@@dronecamps thanks for the reply 🙏
Do you have a video you could upload of it somewhere?
Just got mine from Fimi. Just looking over contents. I have an SBUS setup. Not sure if I need to solder wires to the SBUS pads as some say an SBUS wire is included. Do you happen to know if that is true as I'd prefer to plug into a rec port on the FC rather than soldering wires on it?
Might work in the same port as where Elrs and Tbs plug into. Just use the first three wires
Thanks for the reply. Possible. Too bad the instructions didn't have more details. I'll do a bit more checking before I give it a try.@@dronecamps
BNF vtol, when?
