Did the maiden this morning. A friend did a short video using his Iphone in the middle of the flight. And one of the video from the goggles. I'm glad I didn't push hard for a refund. This thing is everything I hoped it would be. It's really interesting to see fly and the friends who put on the goggles said it was an amazing experience. High clarity, resolution and big WOW factor. The transition is the best of any of the VTOLs I've ever flown. It is smooth, precise and extremely controlled. I'm still devising ways to make it more "bomb proof", like securing the battery so it doesn't fall out during flight and a locking mechanism so the wings don't fold, as reported by some owners. When I get familiar with the control responses, I'll start flying with the goggles and defeat the nannies (ie, beginner mode). Another few short flights ought to do it.

Another informative video. It answered a couple questions for me that was running through my head.
I have unlocked "beginner mode" so I can do rolls and loops and fly lower. Haven't flown it that way yet due to weather. I also took out the screws for the canopy so I can take it off when I fly. I put it on for carrying in the suit case to protect the stuff in the cockpit.
Out of precaution due to the reports of the battery falling out and the wings folding in flight, I devised some simple locking mechanisms for the battery (to prevent the lock from moving) and the wing locks (to prevent the release buttons from moving). I have a small USB-C extension on the way. I plan to have an external connection point so I can download the video from the onboard camera directly without having to remove the cockpit every time. Your 4K video proved that the quality and resolution is superb.Comment
