The MiniRaceWing - an Interesting looking Kickstarter project
46Update 2: Pre-orders are now open at www.flybot.de/en/ I *will* be getting one ! Really looking forward to a portable, speedy wing - and supporting a bit of innovation in the industry !
Update: This kickstarter has ended, sadly without getting funded. I spoke to Markus asking what his next move is, and he said they were still intending to go with the molded wings as per the kickstarter and had some other avenues to explore. Hopefully we'll see something soon !
I saw this kickstarter project posted on fpvhub.com forum and thought it looked really interesting. It's a bit on the pricy side, but I do think it has a few quite unique innovations, so wanted to share it. What do you think ?
Here's the Kickstarter page for the MiniRaceWing -

... and here's a YouTube playlist they show of various flights, crashes and general stuff -

BTW, I'm using my iphone to film this as it seems to get nicer quality than my webcam, but I don't think I had my lights quite right as it looks a bit washed out... and if my eyes aren't looking at you it's because the lens is offset from the screen which I tend to watch. A learning curve... hopefully it'll be better next time !
