Dolphin FPV flying wing : Day 4

[@paulhope3401]

Your dolphin has good efficiency, flies very well with good low speed handling characteristics, looks to be quite versatile with ample space onboard for additional kit, has beautiful lines and with that great paint job looks very militaristic. I cant think of many negatives? This will be a very popular model for sure. I love it... Great job.

[@Olivier-C]

I also think its very well made and designed, it's good to see that with each new plane coming to the market it gets better and better, our hobby goes forward. I fully agree with you, no obvious negatives, just the foam could be tougher maybe

[@stevietee10]

Credit to your quad chase man, superb filming, shows the Dolphin off admirably 👍😊😊 Really enjoyed your build series as well, got some great tips. Thank You

[@Olivier-C]

yeah he's really good, I think I'll "bring him" anywhere I go so I can always have great footage :D

[@titanium38000]

you guys make me blush ;). Indeed this plane seems to fly great and pretty soon tooooo fasssst for my poor quad. but thanks for the nice words: chasing si so much fun ;)

I am looking forward to set up my Dolphin. Are doing a similar one, with a T motor F4pro 2400kv, 40amph ESC, f405wing FC, Foxeer Arrow pro CCD and AKK vtx. Are waiting on some hot laminating PVC to use. I liked the acrylic paint and tape job you did. Nice grey air force color. It looked like you had an easy take off, with the side throw. And it flew very stable, for a small wing. Thank you for the four Dolphin videos. Nice work👍

[@Olivier-C]

Soundlike a good combo, lamination is perfect, make the plane last a log time and it stiffens the wings... that's what I should do but was lazy and I just usually cover with clear tape. By the way I also ordered a T-motors for this plane, the F60 2550kv, and a 50A ESC, since the Emax RS2306 let me down, and the current backup motor an RS2206-II 2400kV is not great, never liked these motors, even on my quads... they perform ok but.. nothing stellar, and the bearings are made of cheese

[@ciaolocco]

Nice Video. Impressing drone chase video. How you can edit video to see dolphin always in the middle of the picture?

[@Olivier-C]

In the video editor, zooming and centering with the tracking tool ! (using Vegas Pro 17)

[@FpvBerget]

What font are u using in inav to get the text black and the numbers white?

[@Olivier-C]

its a variant of the Vision font I made for the official INAV release, grab it here : bit.ly/2RthIfQ 4 sizes, the 4 is the biggest and the one that is included inthe INAV configurator, and "bw" means black and white

[@FpvBerget]

@@Olivier-C Amazing thanks! Will flash this to all my planes/wings Haha

[@EnglishTurbines]

Looks great, launching looks a bit hairy, no surprises there tho.....Great testing location and calm air...👍

[@Olivier-C]

yeah 2nd throw was too clase the trees and a bit too confident :)

[@stark97442]

Magnifique suivi du quad , gg au pilote . Beau boulot ;)

[@imray100]

Would laminate take to the acrylic paint ?

[@Olivier-C]

depends, but... barely ! since this paint job I've found a better acrylic, the kind made to cover tiles and workplans in kitchens, much stronger grip, next plane will use this

[@KingHaggis]

Nice!

[@stephanephilippe334]

Salut, merci pour tes visites sur le dolphin, c’est top, du coup moi je viens de recevoir la mienne, et sincèrement sa fait 8 ans que je fait du drone fpv et changer un peu le tente bien , mais j’aurais grand besoin d’aide stp pour le parametrage radio et fc...

[@roadstar499]

One of the coolet looking delts prop jets...not into fpv at all...this seems to be a great all round jet for high speed and trickd

[@teuluPaul]

Are you using digital or analogue video equipment for flying? Thanks for sharing!

[@Olivier-C]

Digital ! Dji O3. But in this old video it was analog 5.8ghz

[@teuluPaul]

@@Olivier-C I thought so. I am going to look at digital options - seems like they are a big step forward from analogue

[@simonwood8685]

Great plane great video 👌😎

[@Georgewrigley]

Cool guys!

[@edwill62]

very cool

[@NOXFPV]

Very cool.

[@ftaliyfpv692]

Nice man!

[@Nandox7]

wow, that thing has a lower stall speed than my S800.

[@beefybeef1326]

Superb!

[@voldelurubu619]

Jolie bête. J'ai pas rêvé tu pose vers 30 km h sans décrochage ??

[@Olivier-C]

ouiap, doit décrocher vers 30-35 peut-etre, mais toute ces profils "plank" ils ne partent pas sur le coté de toute façon, comme les drak, ar mini, dart, etc. Sous la vitesse mini ça plonge à plat, et on garde le contrôle (modéré) avec les ailerons

[@voldelurubu619]

@@Olivier-C Ok, c'est quand même bien pour le poser de pouvoir faire une approche lente.

[@dronepilot260rc]

Sounds like a 6s quad doing the chasing 🤔 😀

[@technick_m]

What is this OSD? interesting font, where to find one?

[@Olivier-C]

thats the standard INAV OSD, the font is the one named Vision I made for the software, and there's some variants with the icons in black that you can get here : bit.ly/2RthIfQ

[@akhmad_raiss]

What is the function of v-tail?

[@randylahey2242]

stability, just like the canards on the nose

[@mrmoudfpv3068]

salut superbe vidéo niveau autonomie sa donne quoi ?

[@Olivier-C]

c'est assez variable suivant le style de vol, avec mes 4S-2200 et 3000mah en vol dynamique ça fait dans les 20-25 minutes, en gardant une bonne marge. Avec le li-ion 4S2P et en volant tranquille à plat on doit facilement pouvoir dépasser les 45mins, voire 1h en mode "hyper-eco"

[@mrmoudfpv3068]

@@Olivier-C merci de ta réponse je suis en train de monter le mien et c'est un vrai calvaire pour trouver des lipos. j ai hâte de voir tes prochaines videos

[@Olivier-C]

@@mrmoudfpv3068 perso j'aime bien les nanotech+ 4S 2200 25C / ou 35C / ou 70C, ca fait la bonne taille, juste assez lourd mais pas trop, et pas cher. Meme taille que sur mes quad de 5", standardisation.... J'ai aussi un 4S 3000 de seulement 25C qui va très bien (en format "plat"). Mon pote que l'on voit sur me video aussi en dolphin met des 4S 4000 10C (les multistar verts de l'epoque des quad de 10"), ou alors des paires de 4S 1300 (type quad) en parallèle. Entre 220 et 380 grammes, c'est la fourchette
