Thanks 🙌

Hey buddy, thanks for watching and for the great feedback :) I try not to watch other reviews so that it doesn't influence mine, so I didn't realise this was the case with the other reviewers, very interesting! I actually expected the launch to be a bit sketchy but as you saw it went out with no issues at all... even on a day with zero wind! Odd that the other reviewers wouldn't think to add a little weight. I really try to avoid it when possible and it's very rare that I need to. 10g isn't the end of the world though :) Thanks again 🙌

Thank you for the great feedback and welcome to my channel 😃

Hey, thanks for watching and for the comment. Yes his design skills are obviously very good and he seems a knowledgeable guy, so I don't doubt what you say 😃 Interesting setup you've gone for, I do like a pan, and it's also fun when the plane is in shot (some people don't like that). I think ZOHD stopped making the Lionpack a long time ago, at least the 7000 anyway. Seems that 95% of people are flying with DIY packs. Cheers

Thanks for watching!

I actually don’t have the SF anymore, sold off a lot of planes this spring, but the SF is one I do miss a bit actually. From memory there was no way I could get CG with that 4s2p. With just a 3,000mah 4S it was too nose heavy until adding the tail fins. That’s what I mean about the SF not being suitable to load up with a large battery like the Altus

Thanks

I’d always go for a vista over AU as I don’t even record onboard. I just happened to have an unused AU laying around and the nose was designed by someone else for an AU so I just went with it. Would be able to save a few grams there though

@@AdamGdoesFPV Fair enough :) I used that design to create my nose for O3 version :) It's on Thingiverse too.

For me foam is way better than any 3D printed plane. One small knock and they brake as they’re brittle. Have to try and separate sections without damaging them to replace broken part with fresh print. Foam can be fixed and reshaped in minutes or even just in the field with a portable hot glue gun (been done many times 😅)

I was surprised how easy it loops and rolls too, but definitely not what I’d be doing very often flying this one. The box it comes in is very small, like a large shoebox. I’ll rename it from Altus to Elenor 🤪

@@AdamGdoesFPV 🤣. I like Elenor. At least your nose looks decent. When I was sketching mind, I was thinking of deadly viperr or mamba. But it turned into something that resembles badly injured platypus...

Depends where you are. For me from EU warehouse I can see PNP is €135ish delivered. tiny.cc/ZOHD-Altus

I think it’s just the default ZOHD design as most of their models have it. The magnets don’t seemed to have caused any issues so far. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Glad you liked it! Thanks 🤩

Nice, doesn’t surprise me that these things could travel far 👌🏻

Yeah I agree it’s strange they didn’t prioritise digital vtx mounting. Biggest negative point on this model but as per usual with a bit of work you can overcome this. Seems like they’re still thinking of analogue setup with 2 x wing bays

@@AdamGdoesFPV Yes, trying to cover all the angles I guess...If you're using an 03 setup or even a Pro Walksnail camera, the obligatory GoPro arrangement seems superfluous to me...That said, delete the GoPro and add more battery instead...Maybe it's not so bad after all...🤔🤔😏

@@AdamGdoesFPV Pretty new to this.... is there a reason you can't put a digital VTX in a wing bay?

@@mhk1058 the cables that go from the digital vtx to the camera are not simple servo cables and they’re quite short. So if you put the digital vtx in the wing you also have to put the FPV camera in the wing

I’ve not had a Hee wing so can’t compare. But I’d say the Ritewing silver foam is the best stuff we’ve ever seen on an FPV wing

No issues so far👍🏻

😆

is it what hee wing uses ?

@@tenns hee wing T1? Yes. An old school building method was to cover models with kevlar, bonding it down with thinned adhesive shoe-goo. Unless you broke a spar that shit aint breaking. Adds a fair bit of weight though wouldn't do it for anything smaller than 1m wingspan.

Yeah really good to see they’re not using the BEPP anymore 👌🏻

Good choice 👍🏻

Hi, full setup and links in video description 👍🏻 5S 4,000 x 2 parallel. Turnigy lipo.

@@AdamGdoesFPV thanks sorry missed that 👍🏼

Great plane it is 🤩 king of long range

I have no inav experience. Plus also when I wired it up and I used a y connector off the v-tail, there's no way to get both servos to come up at the same time. They act as a rudder

@@cococadidi go to the mixer tab and set one of the pitch servos to a negative weight.

Next to zero. Otherwise I wouldn’t have done it and I wouldn’t have been able to pull of flights like this one: ruclips.net/video/6isM7O8JZfI/видео.html

Pretty decent above 70m, quite gusty below that 🥴

Thanks 👍😃

I kept this one short as most of it was just same same 😆😅

Glad to hear it mate 🤩 the Albabird is a really nice all rounder with no stress. This was a really enjoyable flight taking in the views

Which elevons? Shouldn’t be too hard with them only being a small part of the plane 😅

😃😅

😆😆

I’m actually in Ireland 😄 Sweden must have some great places to fly!

@@AdamGdoesFPV ah right I always thought you were from Wales. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Sweden has 1000s of places to fly, so many big lakes and rivers to track along and best of all hardly any people to worry about 👍🏻.

Yup

This is the Ritewing Drak and it’s a kit to build yourself. The owner of Ritewing will build a wing for you for a fee

Thank you 🙏🏻 😎

Honestly can’t remember. But I’m sure I could get close to 1 hour with the 7000 4s2p

You should build it now and get it flying. Still a cool model 👍🏻

@@AdamGdoesFPV i didnt expect it to be that big when i bought it but when i saw the size of the fuselage i thought i’d not bother , sat in its box ever since , also got the excalibur 260 rtf model , thats sat in its box for yrs to (never assembled or flown)(never opened it , to big for where i live as theres nowhere around with the space to fly , the amount of gear ive got and lipo’s is unbelievable ….. Had to switch to drone flying

I think you’ll find most people out there are using 1.3G in a region they shouldn’t 🤪

@@AdamGdoesFPV another question, does 1.3G interfere with 2.4G, so would I need to use a lowpass filter for that?

@@trumblez I would avoid using 2.4 with 1.3 if I were you. Even with filters it’s not going to be great. 868 or 433 with 1.3 for best reaults

@@AdamGdoesFPV Ok, thanks! Do you have plans on uploading another Video anytime? Seems like it's been quite long and I really love these Videos 😊👍️

@@trumblez I will, it’s just been bad weather for a long time but started flying again recently 👍🏻

Sorry not used WP missions for years so I’m not familiar with the changes in recent FW

I’ve done that a few times. Not as fun and doesn’t make for a great video to watch 😜
