There will be 2 plane configurations available: pusher prop version and 2 engine version.
As additional feature you will can order a gear and a catapult!
The Condor will be delivered for 599€ almost ready to fly and painted. You only have to add your rc equipment.

Best regards

Nice airplane, it looks like second generation of Maja, but custom configuration of fiber glass airframe is much harder than with EPP... I'm really curious how they'll cope with this...

For just a fun flying FPV, I cant figure out the use for a plane this large/heavy. Also with the price of almost 600 euros (+ the cost of electric setup for a large plane), I'd rather make the plane myself and put the 600 euros to the RC- and FPV-gear. For 600 euros you can get full fiber fuselage gliders, even full fiber scale gliders. And I bet the aerodynamics on those would be better.

Makes me wonder if this is intended to be mostly sold for companies doing aerial video and photography, or similar. By the way, who's the manufacturer?

Hi!
I agree to your thoughts. I also think that this platform will be sold to companies in aerial picture or survey business.
And of course for military use as a drone.

We will see...
Hope the company publish some more pictures and flight videos.
I wouldn't and also couldn't use this plane for my FPV hobby, cause it's too big and too heavy for my intentions.

To much money for a plane unless I could ride in it . Go figure the military spending that kind of money , lol .Our money !
