Great Maiden Josh, really pleased you like it. For those that are interested I have called it a Mantis TR1V the wing is from a Mantis F3J made in North America, the Fuse is my own design TR from my surname (and a slight homage to my Dad who was a Standard Triumph Engineer back in the day) and 1 as it is my first fuse pod design. The boom is a parallel 20 mm carbon tube, the Vtail is my saddle supporting a pair of Graphite 2 tail feathers from Vladimir. All that is required is a balance adjustment. Thanks for sharing the video Steve.
Amazing Flight of the Heron. Can you tell me how to get those height readings as you enter the thermals. Which Transmitter, which voice etc? Many thanks...
My TX is the FrSky X20 which has built in telemetry & voice call outs, in conjunction with a FrSky RX which also has in built telemetry. It’s just a case then of setting up which telemetry readouts you want in the tx settings. It’s fairly easy with modern radios and why I upgraded from my Hitec A9.
I liked that Mantis 😍 Hope Josh flies it again 👍 What a great flight with your Heron 😲 The FrSky G-RX6 and G-RX8 are my go to receivers for my better gliders 👍
Amazing video, my friend! I have a Heron and a just fling it using my Hitec Aurora 9! I lke this radio and so sad with is descontinued now. A huge from Brazil
