First day flying my HK EPP FPV plane .... this is the 4th ten minute ckeck out flight ..... after flying with a dummy camera (215g weight) this is a real Canon A560 ....
a little too much down angle ....... side view mount .....hopefully gives an indication of the true FPV possibilities ....
(aka hobie14)
@asadasif ...... I did a couple of high level power off''s just to make sure nothing dramatic happened ..... nothing did ..... it came down down but at a nice safe glide angle ...... rem, its not a Glider ..... I reckon the wing loading is approx 13 ozs/sq.ft (say 40 DM2) at my take-off weight but it would be interesting to see how it reacts to some decent lift ...... I had no lift on that slope last Sunday ...... wind direction wrong ....

What are the glide characteristics of this plane? How well does it glide?

@tsisapik ..... early days but my impression is that it is a very stable plane ..... all up weight was 1570g ..... that is with a 215g camera and 275g lipo ..... not to heavy .... I was just thinking, I ordered it on 3rd November .... it was shipped by HK on the 6th, and I was flying it on the other side of the world on the 14th November ..... brilliant!!!! ......
Yes ..... you spotted me ok.......

Spectacular flight!
The clarity was very good despite the wind and the BL running. My experience and based on other FPV videos, the video gets blurred or turns to jello due to motor vibration but not in this case. It was not adversely affected by the wind - no sudden moves - could this be due to its "bigger" size/mass ?
I note your presence at 3:54, 6:26 and 7:00 during the flight. Thank you for your hard work in posting this great demonstration - much appreciated by all of us HK folks.
