A day of mixed emotions, yesterday.
Between the three of us we fitted the propellers and got the telemetry configured, whilst that one of us who owned the barn insisted on a strap-down test prior to letting 'loose this dog of war'.
In this following scene, given a degree of freedom the vehicle strained like Frankenstein at the straps and lifted ninety pounds of timber like it wasn't there.
Given the constraints of the surrounds we were unable to go much beyond a temporary hover, which means that a test-flight in the open air awaits another day.
At around 50kg in weight, however, it has to be classed as an experimental aircraft in both the UK and US.
Ironically in the latter, were we to climb aboard with the transmitter in hand, we'd be good to go.
