ReadyMadeRC - Showcase

by FliteTest | September 10, 2014 | (8) Posted in News

We had a chance to fly some of ReadyMadeRC's latest airplanes and use the FPV Packaged setup to watch some of our flight on an external monitor.

The Anaconda was setup for FPV and we did some formation flying with the Lunar Eclipse.

I reckon retractables on the Lunar would look good.

Nice planes. I was surprised at the amount of "Jello" effect the drone had on the camera. Especially with the prop in the rear. What was causing all that vibration?

This airplane is amusing to me. You mentioned in your video that it looks like a military drone, that's because it is almost identical to the RQ-7B Shadow 200 TUAS manufactured by AAI/Textron Systems. This is the platform that I fly everyday at work. The funny thing is, the real Shadow 200 does not fly very well manually, of course it is also a 20' wing span and weighs 400 lbs. Also, the fact that "it does a coordinated turn" is NOT why the military likes it so much. I'm not trying to hate, I just wanted to bring some facts to the table.

Good job guys! I wouldn't mind an Anaconda just for sport flying.

Kinda seemed like a Professional Plane in the hands of babes and the timing with the FAA well I don't know just make sure that everyone joins in with the AMA's complaint with the FAA's interpretation of the rules, or there will be no FPV or Flite Test so get you say in to the FAA and we need to police our own as far as rule breakers so it doesn't hurt everyone. So use common sense and fly safe. The Anaconda is great as far as what she was built for.. Love Ready Made and Hobby Wireless..!!

I hope when you do the full review on the Anaconda you fly it more as it was intended. Its a long range FPV platform, should have a good flight controller like an Eagletree Vector, 1.3g video, a go pro on a gimbal and a separate FPV camera.
