Hi there!

Borjet has recently released the new "Q", a nice 'n' smart monofoil, with some very handy features making it perfect as carry-on-fpv-plane: a "Cam-Flyer Q"!

It is actually a flying wing with a fuselage. There is a certain similarity to the concept of the "PickUp" which is also a foldable (!) flying wing which makes them very space saving for transportation - the "folding bike" among the flyers

The wingspan is about 33,5" (85cm) making it big enough for stable flying while only 17" (41cm) remain of it in folded condition.
The folding mechanism is made out of a special, multi-wall type plastic material which is secured by a plastic bolt for flying.
The winglets are foldable aswell. They are made out of the same plastic material.

Borjet estimates the mass would be around 300g depending on motorization, of course.

The fuselage is completely hollow and offers pretty much storage space. In the back is a small plattform offering a mounting position for a video camera or a small digcam, taking pictures from the ground.

Me personally, I'd "nail" a ccd-killer + P/T right behind the canopy to fly FPV with it - what else?!

Price is at 79,90€

Have fun!
o.d.

The wing folding latch looks like a design from the Maja? The pin slides in between to lock?

Looks nice, im slightly confused why the motor is in the front? And not a pusher? Prop infront of camera?

Hey Okke, thanks for the info
I´ve read about yesterday in a rc hobby magazin at station.

Ben you could be right, it looks like the parts from MAJA.
The plastic pin slides through multi-wall plastic in the middle, as you can see in the first picture (the white part in the middle).
Okke´s idea to use a KillerCCD for this plane is good.

If you have a look on the name "Cam-Flyer", I think it is not designed for FPV use. You can take aerial pictures for fun and not for professional use.
But why not try a fpv cam in front of this plane

Hmm, can´t find more info about this plane, it seems that we are the only page at the moment (except website of Borjet).

Ah yes for digital camera in the back?

Maybe an easy mod is to make a plat for the back to mount the motor for FPV use? And use a bullet cam where the motor goes in the front?

Could be a good fit, either way looks like it will be a good fun plane!

I agree

80€ + shipping

i find this very unfair price for just 800mm of EPP and a bit of coroplast.

even 50€ would be a bit expensive.
