Looks impressive.
What's powering it and what sensors are in that camera dome?
How far/fast etc?

Estimating the weight to be approx. 200# (just a guess) and the "wire legs" holds it up?? No way!

Its a 2 cylinder 2 stroke Suter engine

TOA 288

Two-cylinder, horizontal opposed, air-cooled, two cycle engine, with fuel saving electronic engine management system and mixture lubrication. Suitable for pusher and tractor installations.

Various payloads with just under 12kg limit. We are bringing to Australia for training, and SAR (mostly coastal) so long range and some thermal.

90km/hr for around 10-11 hours

Whole thing weighing around 55kg

Not the newest tech, but new for us

only about half that weight and the wire legs do indeed hold it up.
