This week I conducted the Raptor 140’s flight testing. I put it through the paces by testing it’s general maneuverability (pitch and roll), high maneuverability (rolls, loops, climbs), its speed performance (cruise, max, stall) and it’s technology performance (video, telemetry, GPS, compass, autonomous flight, etc).
It passed all its testing without error, and earns it’s position as the most capable airplane I’ve ever flown. It is just a dream to fly, will not tip stall, goes where you aim it, climbs as fast as you can handle, flys for over 40 minutes at 75kph (44mph), can complete missions given it via APM effortlessly, I can go on and on…
Next week I’ll be completing efficiency testing, finding out what it’s limits are for true flight range, all in preparation for a long range cross country (take off and land at different locations) flight later this month.
Also, I’ve been asked by dozens of people if I’d make a 140 for them, so I will! Starting in November I’ll start selling Raptor 140 kits on my website: MyGeekShow.com. I plan on shipping worldwide and will have kits available starting at $89.99.
