Sick, now just make it laser tag compatible. Would be sick to play a dogfight. But maybe shooting laser from planes isn't the smartest...

Damn this is sick… that casual shot in there from flying above the clouds completely blew me away

Amazing project. This has the potential to be quiet compared to a quad. Would be cool to test how silent you could be.

Heck yea!!! FPV wings are taking over the hobby!!! People need a break from quads, but with the new O3 having such epic video quality, and not needing a go-pro anymore, they are migrating to wings. With people like Shelby Voll doing some impossible epic stuff, it motivates others even more. Tip for cooling a Air Unit, make sure your vent EXIT holes are bigger the the inlet holes. Math says this creates a vacuum inside pulling even more air over the air unit. It does work to.

this looks so GOOD and the distance you're getting is way more than I expected, never thought I'd see FPV drone footage from above the clouds

Hi Daniel, I follow your channel since the Skywalker FPV compilations. You brought me into FPV back than. I just want to say thank you for all your videos and the great entertainment you offered to us. I wish you the best! Greetings from Germany!

This is legend, well done the both of you. I have a feeling you two are the most dynamic RPAS and silly project developers in America. I love your work!

This seems pretty neat. Assuming someone is interested in FPV but has no RC equipment of any kind, what would else be required to get to that point besides the Airframe Kit + Base Electronics?

You’ve got some bike skills there mate, I wasn’t expecting that.

Thanks for all the great shots of Seattle parks we miss. We moved overseas and it was a nice reminder.

This is awesome! Looks like an ideal platform for both long range, and park flying!

Backed this kickstarter when it came out, so excited to see more videos on it!

Great collab you two! Thanks! 👍💪✌

Just backed the project, looks like a ton of fun, can’t wait to get mine!

Backer here - I appreciate the project and agree with the 250g outlook. I don't even see a reason to get the 3D printed plane plans anymore, even though that was a passion of mine. Now it's just sub 250s and wishing one day someone has enough drive and power to fix the current pointless BS situation. Thanks for your work on this!

Totally love those tree line shots. Great combination of smooth motion and stunning colors.

I would love to see what the image looks like through your FPV goggles. Like actual footage, raw. That would help a lot with deciding whether I want into FPV park flyers.

Dude lowkey was shredding that ebike. Longtime favorite KZfaqr your the best!

Looks very stable its latest incarnation and the slow motion shots are incredible.

nice to see how you continue to inspire me and do so with nice simple projects and keep it authentic thanks Daniel

That ending montage was so insanely good. Makes me miss bummin around Seattle.

You're killing it bro! Love seeing a project become reality!

How come you were blurring the quad-copter drone you used to film with near the end? Genuinely curious as to what info could even be gained by a 3 second shot of a drone.

Man you do awesome work! Looks so stable and a blast to fly

this is amazing, i remember when i first started flying fpv kwads i thought something like this would be awosome and now i see that you just strait up did it, the only reasoon im not ordering one yet is that im building a different palane right now.

What an awesome little and stable fpv wing!!! I would love to fly one!!!

Amazing & incredible footage. You must have nerves of steel to fly these distances at low altitude without incident.

Epic video. Cutting edge.

Always good to wake up to a new rctestflights video

Yes, we need this! Great video too, and bikes!

Back to the dayssssssssssss ,let's go ,when I saw this thumbnail, it's just old ,gold *rctestflight*...

The FPV footage is gorgeous 😮

Never done FPV before but I pledged for the full kit. Looking forward to flying it!

Okay those slowmo shots are sick.

Really cool project. It'd be awesome to see comparisons against the Nano Goblin.

Can't wait for mine. All the Seattle parks - nicely done - like every one of them, lol.

You do amazing work 👏 with everything you do!!

The slowmo footage is incredible

you guys are doing great things keep up the good work

Before backing this I have some questions: - Will you do some hard testing of the ESCs to make sure they don't burn like the ones in my snowcat? - Will you make sure the shell actually closes without having to take a handplane to it? - Will you release the STLs again?

That last shot of you catching it was 🔥

that is realy cool im exited to see more in the future

Honestly the small fpv market is something completely missed. It just makes sense rather than having to use a car to carry a meter and a half wingspan airframe to a field to fly it isn’t convenient. Something that can strap to the back of a backpack and get thrown in a local park is what’s necessary

Super cute drone! Bravo! Cheers from Italy!

I found the video first due to my interest in FPV and then I was watching the filming and I was like holy smokes this is the area in Seattle where I lived. Brought me a bit of nostalgia.

hot damn those slowmo air shots are sick

Those air to air shots are SICK!! I'm thinking I'll end up with a Flik wing. I just built a nano goblin but would be good to have a backup. Similar planes with a similar purpose but the Flik's more square profile is probably a bit more maneuverable at slow speeds.

That footage is pretty much totally amazing!!!

Man this looks super fun.

Just pledged, thanks for showing us this !

love your work so much .

I recognize so many locations there - amusing that the one I didn't notice was the Marymoor park RC field!

that air to air montage was so cinematic

Inspirational as always! maybe well cross flight paths some day, til then have fun be safe!

Cool. Lot's of INAV builds for the RMRC Nano Goblin which is very similar in size & proportions. You then have access to plenty of other peoples inav's settings, including pids, which would be a good start for this wing. If you are aiming for quad pilots who use betaflight normally, then INAV interface will be very familiar to them.

I had a Nano Goblin and loved it, but I never took it hiking because it was too big (yeah, I know). This thing looks PERFECT!

Yup, I _totally_ jumped on that when TF's video came out. I already have a Nano Goblin, but it works so well I don't want to fiddle with it... Now I have a second mini-plank for tinkering! :) Would you consider sharing the final CAD files for the hatch? Being able to print replacements with antenna mounts and such would be really handy, and you wouldn't be giving away the truly valuable part of the design.

love the concept!

Just backed it. I'll be new to the hobby, so I'm excited to learn!!

Wow, you could never get away with flying so low and in buildup areas where I live. Looks like a great alternative to a drone, and maybe in the future it will be able hover as well. Thanks for the video, enjoy them all.

Wow that looks way better than a quad, controls better too.

I wonder if you could make a slotted wing version of this that flies extremely slow for park flight, that would be epic!

Been to the UW campus before many times, but I've never seen UW by drone before. It's breathtaking.

trappy sent me your way. looking good! might have to back this too, just too little information right now. would definitely check in on the progress later!

Very cool. Would love to see people race these.

u shredded that e bike good stuff

I clicked on the Kickstarter expecting it to be like $550 or something, I have absolutely no frame of reference for this besides drones and other tech style kickstarters. Absolutely hopping in for 90 bucks with everything. Haven't flown FPV in forever, excited for this thing.

Take my money! That thing is awesome!! My experience flying rc planes has always ended with either crashes or a certain boredness of watching the plane fly around from the outside. Always limited by your vision. I always felt like FPV would open up so much more enjoyment to the hobby. It used to be prohibitively technical and costly, that is becoming less the case every day!

I want to make designs for you so bad... I'm always interested in making my own but i never have the "right" gear to put in these drones! Thanks to you and Cavin for another awesome model!

I would buy one with the complete kit for sure!

I can't wait to get mine!

freakin' sweet. I hope yall test the max extra load it can take and list it as a spec. Would be helpful. I would love to make one solar powered if possible.

Very cool, might finally try a wing

Looks really fun! would be cool to make or be able to print a 3d printed version as a backer

backed in under a minute. follower since 2011 :-)

Cool plane, I wonder if you could get an injection molded cage/pod for the electronics so it could sit in the foam fuselage and wings and have attachment points but stay mostly open for cooling

Sick build! Would it be worth surface mounting a teeny tiny heatsink to the dji and having it just breach through the top fuselage? Should help with the thermal dissipation a little, both on the move and whilst stationary giving you longer to work with and less chance of frying expensive modules😋

Very nice. It was also fun to realize you were here in the greater Seattle area. Fun to see drone flight in an area I know!

Nice project. Thx for this Video .

This looks so fun

this is the ultimate fpv 😍😍

Doh, I wasn't planning on getting an fpv drone but frankly that kit price is reasonably priced even with delivery abroad.

This is awesome! I need one!

A few requests please, now that Kickstarter has faaaar exceeded its goal: 1) Can backers have the option of different foam colors please? I imagine some folk would love black. Personally I'd like light grey (ot perhaps light grey-blue) to make it more discreet (stealthy?!) when flying high. Colour options (e.g. matching/complementary) for the vertical fins would also be a bonus 2) Speaking of discreet/stealthy, it'd be great to design for, and use components for (prop and motor) for as quiet flying as possible. This will make for an even more "Friendly Drone", as you guys put it. 3) As you're going to the trouble of having a bespoke mould of a complex shape made consider whether the vertical fins can somehow be integrated into the foam design (perhaps making them canted rather than pure vertical?)... or even go as far as a pure, true flying wing design, which would be the ultimate in terms of efficiency (or if not, consider such for a v2 and your next Kickstarter!). 4) Try integrating/moulding/smoothing the body into the wing more, to create more of a flying wing shape. If you haven’t already, consider putting it through some CFD modelling. This is with the goal of even greater efficiency in mind. 5) Like Kavin and his original design, my focus is definitely autonomous UAV. Indeed I'm not really interested in the FPV aspect (great though it is!). Instead I'd like to use the best small/light GPS module I can and add a vertical camera (shooting through a porthole cut in the floor) to take geotagged stills when flying relatively high... i.e. for mapping, using phogrammetry. When you're refining your design please continue to consider autonomous and mapping users wherever you can.

Awesome project. I fly up at Judkins too!

Now that looks fun. 😄

Ayo its da mini 136, how cute and cool!😊

Love these airplane home builds! Honestly, I don't think RID is going to last for long. It's just too easy to circumvent and impossible to enforce.

so i pledged support. my hope is that when this is done, there will be a simple list of added things i need to buy, such as a flight controller, batteries, ardupilot, remote control unit etc, that i would have to buy and how to mount it. but for 90 bucks? i want to do FPV. i love my mini 3 pro. its excellent. but this looks to me to be cooler than average entry level fpv. i am excited.

This is so flipping cool. Wish I had the money to do this type of stuff.

Awesome little plane! Don't be afraid to do HD in the fuse. It just needs planned cooling. I have 2x Micro SD sized naca ducts in a high pressure region on the nose of my aircraft. The fuselage vents at the motor, creating a significant ΔP. It can transmit at full 1200mw for 45min with no overheating issue. I have a 19.5" 3d printed fpv wing I've been calling the "Bullit." It weighs right at or below 250g with 2s 18650, Caddx Vista, and WTE405 flight controller. I've flown it up to 370g. 30-45min flights up to 80mph, cruise is about 45-50mph.

just amazing i can't wait to own one

As you said that the whole drone world and it`s development for smaller and more pocket friendly drones would became better over time. combine it with the fact to bypass non fly zones this is as amazing way for young beginners and non-commercial users.

Looking forward to this

Nice work.

Love it!

Awesome!

Does using a step up voltage regulator for the 03 air unit seem like a smart thing to do when running lithium ion 2s packs? I see the power requirement listed is 7.4 to 26.4v.

FYI if the material your cutting is square and nominal with the placement of the model you wrap the material with plywood frame so all you have to do is flip the material on the same start point. Not sure what you use for Gcode production my software (Heeks) allows me to pre determine this. So everything is centered. Then you just flip no worries.

I really recommend the EMAX D-SHOT Bullet Series 20A ESCs for their size and weight; would be a great use case for this!
