Very cool. I love the Mobius.

Wow, what a trippy effect the props have in the video.

Very cool. I love the Mobius.

Yes' the mobius really rocks, has a great form factor, can fit on just about anything and has really good quality video and pictures, I really love the timelapse picture setting, can take very high quality images every second or so
for some cool effect.

Wow, what a trippy effect the props have in the video.

Yes, very much so.. the prop is moving so quickly the framerate cannot keep up with it, I'm going to end up building a servo driven gimbal out of balsawood or
very light plastic, all I really need is 2 axis, and would like to create a head tracker so it will follow my head movements. I have a nice little 5.8ghz TX/RX that was very cheap. even though It would be kinda tough to use it for fpv because the mobius has about a .5 second latency it would still be very cool. But for now if I can build the gimbal I will run it off of 2 roller switches I have on my radio, I only use 4 channels to fly this one anyway, I can land pretty good without flaps and it doesnt take long to get it stopped as
long as i'm landing against the wind.

I started out building multirotors and flying them and helicopters, but once I got my hands on a glider I hardly touch big bertha (my 450 size quad). I've had
this glider in the air for 1 hour 20 min with an 1800mah, 3s battery. Had some very good thermals that day, the only reason I landed is because my neck was hurting and my face was burnt :). the battery still had 3.7v per cell left in it after landing. :)

I have a Zagi 3C (glider) I have yet to build. I have a Zagi 400 that in a state of disrepair and a Sky Scooter Pro II. I've glided the Sky Scooter for very long periods near the shores of California and Barbados and it's an awesome experience to just keep it in the air without propulsion. Fun times.

Would like a good ground camera with optical zoom, very hard to get good shots with a digital.

for very long periods near the shores of California and Barbados and it's
an awesome experience to just keep it in the air without propulsion. Fun times.

I've seen some awesome videos of people slope soaring sith a full acro setup, the phoenix is a cheaper setup, but also comes with everything to convert it to
a slope soarer, I would love to be able to keep it in the air with power only for maneuvering but here in Georgia aside from just dropping off th mountain thats pretty much out of my reach. I do love grabbing some good thermals though, I've jumped in a few that were actually pretty hard to get back out of :). I've been wanting to build something akin to the zagi, I buddy of mine built a wing with dollar tree foam board and it actually looked pretty good, but he mounted the motor on the fron and it never flew well. I tried talking him into mounting on the rear and maybe adding more power, but he never got around to it. But yes, the zagi looks like something I want to try to build or get a good kit for next, I still have work to do with the Phoenix, I would like
to soon upgrade radios so I can try I bunch of different configurations like custom mixes, etc. Atm I only fly basic 4 channel, I have flaps setup on it but
don't even use them, In my flight evolution now I seem to do better without them :)

What a strang coincidence (or maybe not) that when I went to search the Zagi 3c
that one of the first sites I went to was Anjo.com, I did'nt know Angus had the
bug too, It seems very strange how thing seem to come around full circle. :-)

The Zagi-400 was really too fast for my abilities. The Sky Scooter was more my speed. And sloping is even better (slower) for an inexperienced pilot like me.

Yes, that would probably be the same issue with me, I kinda went backwards with
airplanes and started with a bottom win plane (the archer) it really was a beast to train on, then I got a cessna 182 trainer and could tell a big difference, now it's just pure heaven with the Phoenix, besides some hot and fast landings sometime :)
