You would have to do a lot of quartering at 70lbs a trip dem Moose get Big

I try to shoot em really close to the lake that the float plane drops us off at?

No aeronautical engineer here but I'm impressed at the size of the props considering the size of the aircraft and the weight. Horizontal flying I understand would not need the bigger rotors but it needs to get in the air first. If anyone knows I'd love an explanation. You look at something like the Osprey and its props are HUGE.

Wondered about this, too. It looked (in the closer shot early in the video) like those props might have variable pitch mechanisms, but still,....

Well the Osprey itself is a monster compared to that drone, size/weight proportions and the drone actually has more prop area probably

I wonder how fast the Phantom 4 could fly if it was able to position itself into that configuration....

I wonder if it will be able to fly if it lost a prop and if so will it still be able to do so with a payload attached.
