[nitroplanes]

@SBENTOS The item is out of stock, I won't be able to get you a accurate quote on how much it will cost to have the item shipped to you.

This video went viral on Somalia

[skyvoc2000]

@urtismcdona13c :D Somali pirates :)

[edwolf1127n]

Your video went viral on Portugal

[nitroplanes]

@edwolf1127n which video?

[barchetr]

im just looking into this plane but whats the total cost of this setup?

[nitroplanes]

@barchetr check out hobbypartz . com for the prices on the motors, batteries, recievers etc

[wingspan100]

Do you also have the GO Pro camera available for sale?

[nitroplanes]

@wingspan100 not at the moment, they can be had elsewhere

[RyanNX211]

I love my RQ11.

Quit saying "you guys"

[dimesach]

I have over 10 hours of flight time on the real thing. The scale is a little off, but it looks just like the real deal. Add an ArduPlane autopilot, HD camera and FPV and you have a direct clone of the armys raven.

[john04654]

Hey, I am currently building this plane. Right now I am waiting for all of the parts to come in. I am documenting the entire build process at my blog johncm.com so stop by and check it out.

[gordonputfile]

max prop size????

[c0ldsteal19]

With your setup, how long can it stay in the air?

[td84]

Very cool.

Does anyone know of anyone taking this project and adding a movable transmitting camera on the bottom (in a clear protective bubble of course)?

[aquinasreigns]

What propeller are you using?

[kevco8201]

How long do you think you could increase the flight time by using a 5000 mah battery? I am thinking of getting this plane and using a small light weight camara but dont want a 5 minute run time.

[NightFlyyer]

Excellent. I have just flown mine for the first time yesterday in +17 degree weather. I am using the same setup as you. I love this plane. It flies very smartly. See my attached video. Thumbs up Tony. ~NightFlyyer~

[RamosTTS]

I have to say that this is a fine plane but charging 127USD for Europe??? Are you gonna rent an airplane to send it to Portugal? its even offensive! That is why people even more go buy to China and Hong Kong the same airplanes and motors!

[nitroplanes]

@RamosTTS RamosTTS! Thank you for the post! Our carriers for international orders are via USPS only, and right now, although the carriers do not ship to Dominican Republic yet, there are options such as having our orders shipped to a freight forwarder and then have it delivered to fans overseas.

[nitroplanes]

@nitroplanes The carriers have been quite strict with their policies on not helping us ship over sized items because in the past, many over sized items arrived either 1.) damaged, 2.) lost 3.) never arrives to customers bc it gets held back in customs, which are definitely not a risk we would want our customers to take. We are working hard towards shipping our orders with other carriers right now, any updates we receive, we will definitely notify our fans as well!

[ijsman]

@RamosTTS I just found out that shipping to the netherlands is just as crazy.. i'm gone let that fly.. ;)

[dorsai]

Ok, I bit the bullet and placed my order last evening 12/15. Also posted this latest video on thread over on DIY Drones Forum, so the folks over there could follow what's going on as well. Hope it arrives in time to put under the tree.

[flopp78]

when is this plane out? this year or next year? Ailerons will have been nice!

[nitroplanes]

@flopp78 The RQ11 is in stock now!

[thechoosendude]

I would absolutely buy this if, and only if, you made it with AILERONS!!!!

[nitroplanes]

@thechoosendude The RQ11 is in stock now!

[thechoosendude]

@nitroplanes

But it doesn't have ailerons, like I asked... thus I will not buy.

[2nigelstone]

This is a fantastic UAV clip but when I went to your website the model is not avaible.Mayby you can let us where we can buy this model.

Compliments Nigel

[nitroplanes]

@2nigelstone The RQ11 is in stock now!

[Crichilles]

Man....please don´t say "first maiden flight" anymore...

Maiden flight is ALWAYS first! :D

[nitroplanes]

@Crichilles The RQ11 is in stock now!

[capjlp]

yea we need ailerons tony please .... small hs 81's or 85's could be used for the ailerons. I will buy one if it has those.



[nitroplanes]

@capjlp The RQ11 is in stock now!

[taofledermaus]

It makes a beautiful camera platform. Easy to fly and stabile. 

[nitroplanes]

@taofledermaus The RQ11 is in stock now!

[RoboTekno]

Ailerons please!!! :D

[nitroplanes]

@RoboTekno The RQ11 is in stock now!

[bobmaxiao]

Really impressive. But the problem is that whether it is stable enough for fpv platform and whether it is strong enough. I don't wanna waste my money on a easily-damaged plane. Hope to learn more about the RQ-11 uav.

[nitroplanes]

@bobmaxiao The RQ11 is in stock now!

[SvenOkonomi]

@nitroplanes No offence, but it ll be in stock for half price at hobbyking in a week or two. ;)

[chief135]

Did you chop the antenna down on your receiver? How does that effect it's range/performance?

[nitroplanes]

@chief135 The RQ11 is in stock now!

[SvenOkonomi]

you might want to opt for the nose vent. Video TX get insanely hot so you want airflow on those.

[nitroplanes]

@SvenOkonomi The RQ11 is in stock now!

[dorsai]

Cutting open those four vent cut outs is a good first step. There'll be folks who want to add downlink video transmitters, as well as GPS sensors and auto-pilot systems. Cooling will be especially critical in those cases, as well sufficient room to mount downlink antennas, second batteries, etc.

[pinzgauernorcal]

one of my favorites!!!!

[lewandlo]

That wing will rip off for sure if you don`t reinforce it or put two dowels in the fuselage and use rubber bands. You could put larger nylon bolts also . But I would not trust those two tiny screws to learn to fly.The rest of the plane looks very well made. Thanks for showing us Tony.

[rockyFLYR]

what is the wing loading that wing is tiny and what is the frames bare weight

[sparky0308]

What will be the MSRP? On this when it's available?

[nitroplanes]

@sparky0308 MSRP is unknown at the moment, but we will try to make it affordable. Stay tuned for more information

[rccrazer]

you think that they will make a smaller version for smaller cameras?

[nitroplanes]

@rccrazer We just might carry lighter and smaller versions of this in the future depending on the demands
