Derek's Hildabeast 570 Quad

Post by Derek »

Finally, the maiden has come! This is definitely NOT a 250 class quad, lol. It's a bit intimidating but it was very solid and I am beyond impressed!

The next flight out will be with the goggles on and just a leisurely cruise around the park.... just to get a feel for it and to see what the current draw is with these props. I'm almost certain that flips and rolls will be soon lol

Here is LOS flight number 2 of the 8S Hildabeast 570. Unfortunately, there was a hiccup with my video system and it prevented any and all FPV flying. I was PISSED! That issue has, since, been resolved but I still had to fly the Hildabeast 570 for my friend, Lawrence. Lawrence was quite impressed!

Glad that you got your video system worked out. Another tease til next time when you can fly FPV. Still the beast looks and sound impressive. She's ready for you to fly FPV!
