The one pictured above in grey is the first prototype that Chris has received from his mould so not long to wait.... I hope.

if past ritewing wings are anything to go by, this is bound to be very expensive.... but don't worry, I'm sure hobbyking will do a quick job of cloning it and selling it for much less whilst still being a half decent fpv plane.

Are we going to do a multibuy then? get cheaper shipping etc?

It looks great in the video.

My only reservation is the lack of thought to camera and video options. For such an advanced design in all other areas I cant help but think there hasn't been much thought to it.

Also a major drawback to a wing is the lack of pan and tilt. Particularly one like this that offers very long flight times, long range, possible land surveying etc where pan and tilt is useful. Can understand why it's pointless on a small expendable bashing wing- but this isn't expendable.....

Perhaps the whole idea is to leave the front a blank slate- to allow complete freedom when it comes to mounting options. I can see the advantage of this- especially now there are so many HD cam options. But I just cant help but think that a hole cut in the top and a gopro shoved in the gap looks a bit crude and bodged. Its just a bit 2013. Even HobbyKing have got some pretty nice mounting ideas.

The Z3 came with a couple of mounting options and GoPro houses- perhaps this wasn't sucessful or just broke pretty quick?
