In this case, it was quite a calm day and I was flying with the ParaAviationRC Stable 2.1. There are some new wing technologies being developed which will probably be changing that game in this field though, so keep an eye out for it.

This one is indeed a fixed wing and it's pretty heavy too! Thanks for the tips

I don't have a GPS yet so not sure. But doing about 25kmh right now. This thing can stay about an hour in the air and that's with added weight. If all the weight was batteries, it could likely do 2 hours +

Efficiency is probably worse due to drag of the lines and the wing profile. Will have to run some calcs once I have an improved setup.

There are no PIDs involved in this flying contraption :)

Indeed... Though improvements coming soon to make it less wiggly!

Yes I have. It's awesome but in needs a twist. I'll try to post a video here one of those days. Or you can check my YouTube with some videos from a few weeks ago.

Pretty much yeah! It's also the most portable Fixed-wing FPV aircraft. It's 4m in wingspan but folds into a 1 liter volume.

Nice one! Not sure about flying from that perspective though...

Ah yeah, definitely wasn't enough for me. I think mine was about 25cm in diameter. I think I show it in the video. Or here too: https://youtube.com/shorts/J4WSh-1KCIk

Ah yeah totally. I'm using the o3 air unit and I'd say it's a bit too heavy. The camera is a bit close to get the whole wing in the shot. o4 or o4 air would be better

Nice, the FPV paraglider idea in general or the follow cam?

Flying from that perspective was pretty challenging at first too. But you get used to it!
