50 m/s climb rate and more !!!!!

I received a mail from Martin Pilny about his friend Dalibor's Electro Viking. Dalibor achieved a climb rate of 50 m/s with peak at 58 m/s ! Just unbelievable !!

The setup is the following:

  • Plane: Viking, 3m wingspan, AUW: 2.9 Kg
  • Motor: S-Neu 1509/2D/6.7,
  • Propeller: RFM 17x13,
  • ESC: CC Ice Lite 100A,
  • Battery: 6S-2200mAh Turnigy Nanotech 45/90C

For information the battery died after ten charges/discharges ...

If you have no idea about such climb rate, just watch this superb and incredible onboard video:

    Hi Pierre, thank you for posting our video. There is just one correction needed. Viking 2 E Race is unfortunately not mine. It was my friend Dalibor who did this incredible thing. My F3B Ceres E will follow shortly but it is gonna be about 40m/s climb rates only ;-)
    Regards, Martin

    I'd like to know what type of camera was being used, the quality looks really nice.

    The camera is a contour HD 1080p, the equivelent of the Go Pro HD, but with a different form factor.

    This picture shows how the camera was mounted. Dalibor glued some nuts into the fuselage for easy camera attachement.
