I knew there was something suspicious about so many guys having the same birthday...

Iyer Sir who else am I missing with the same date

I see, you could identity scorpion from such a small PIC. Therefore. Whatever the docs might say. You are Shape 1, 6/6 Dr. :giggle:

@iyer sir of course apart from the promise anything else from here?

Thank you for ratifying my vision Gusty.  :giggle: you always knew I had a keen eye for details  ;)

This is a bump for gusty. Dr Watson would like to see more of flying photos of Sherlock Homes please.  :giggle: :giggle:

This space hasn't been visited in a while. Here we go. Here is the DJI inspire. Frankly, overrated machine.

Gusty sir, 'Flite Test' were pessimistic about its capabilities too but they ended up giving a more-than-satisfied review. I remember them saying it's like a 'tripod in the sky' for AP. And, it has amazing stabilization indoors as well. It's certainly overpriced though.

Are you referring to its flight characteristics when you say 'over-rated' or just its overall features?

My flite test review

1. Quick Stop is not quick enough, at extreme Quick Stop speeds, she descends, indication of full rev and power not being adequate

2. During moderate quick stop Yaw, she rolls (as expected when I did the quick stop)

3.  Sonar to undercarriage is a gimmick that is functionally not required, that mechanism adds weight thereby reducing endurance to some 15 -17 mins which otherwise could have been couple of minutes more

4. Didnt understand the requirement of a proplock clip for a self locking propeller

Yes ! overrated in terms of performance and price


PS
if you are into getting airborne and staying and moving around slowy to get a good aerial view (less dynamic of course) may be you could build one hexa with a good autopilot for lot less

This one quite steady in the air though !

Volantex Ranger EX FPV, Worst trash i have ever seen, she flaps wings like a ornithopter, time permitting i shall put up a video, you can see it for yourself, Getting her up and bringing her back in one piece for those couple of flights !! was a nightmare Did some FPV with Vector Autopliot. Volantex Ranger EX is not even worth 2 cents

Gusty Sir, you are most welcome to Jamshedpur.

It will be a great experience for all of us to meet you and share some flying time with you.
