I mounted my GoPro onto the float of Dale's Electric Lazair. Engine check take off climb out and a single engine run.

The Joby motors were only fitted the week before Airventure and Dale did not have time to program the controllers to their full optimum. They need to be connected together to sync 100% and the braking and regenative features need to be set up correctly.

 

Rough cost breakdown

 

Joby motors $1000.00 each, 2 off

 

Controllers $650 each. 2 off

 

Battery pack $3300.00 plus 6 custom circuit boards required

 

Charges $350.00 each 6 required.

 

Props are 36 x 20

 

Buy the time you add all the sundries build the throttles and battery bays you will need around 10 grand.

 

charge time hooked into 3 x 20amp 115v home supply will give 75 minute recharge time.

 

Duration excess of 45 minutes with floats and in excess of 75 minutes with stock wheel setup.

If you turn the moniter around it shows a really good overview of the entire Airventure site.
