Range Video Jet (FPV platform)

[Boof69]

This was started a long time ago and I just decided to open it up and do more work on it.
This is known as the RV Jet and it seems pretty sweet by all accounts. This model comes with each wing in two sections. This allows for a short winged fast flyer and a longer winged slow(er) flyer. The configurations do not stop there. More mid sections can be added and really extend the width of this model. Even multiple fuselage variations are possible.
This plane is a pusher to allow for an unobstructed view from the dome covered fully gimballed camera mount.
I plan on releasing different configurations as in the real world.
I also have some ideas on control setups allowing for better control of the camera gimbal.
This is a brilliant video reviewing the RVJet
Polys are at 17,393

I could've swore you already had a thread on this one.

 

[Boof69]

I think your thinking of another website.

 

[Boof69]

Here are some configurations that are possible in the real world. Obviously the poly limit will not allow for them all but they are still interesting.

Man, I love your renders!! They just keep getting better all the time. Freaking thing looks real!!

 

[jjf]

It looks so detailed and real!

 

[Boof69]

Thanks Andy and jjf. I still have a lot of polys to work with. Hope I can show even more detail.

Is the pan and tilt dome functional in your model?

Looks really awesome, true to life!

 

[Boof69]

It is.

 

[superevan]

Awesome, do you have a preliminary model to test out? Would love to give it a try!

 

[Boof69]

Sorry you will need to wait til she is done.

 

[Boof69]

So I started back on this one today. I thought I would post some renders. Not a big change from before but it is moving forward.

Glad to see you're back at it Scott. As always, great renders!

 

[Boof69]

Thank you sir.

This is a very interesting model. I can't help but to admire your work.

 

[Boof69]

Thank you Abaser, flyelectric and Carkshark

Hi guys! Renders look really good, keep it up!

To enable multi-fuse configs you might skip the gimbal on at least one of them and use the foam nose instead. My guess is that a lot of the polys is in the PnT which would be greatly reduced this way.

I had considered that but more poly conservation would still be necessary.

Awesome. That will be a cool one to fly.
