TECHNICAL DETAILS
DESCRIPTION
A huge improvement over its predecessors, the new AeroKontiki BEAST is a stunning, powerful, and high-performance fishing drone featuring highly efficient propulsion systems to give an extended range or haul, enabling delivery of more hooks with heavier sinkers than ever before. Using advanced technologies, it has been programmed to hold a 10-m low-altitude shelf, and a 60-m high-altitude shelf to keep it safely within authorized airspace over water. It also has a battery management system to ensure it has enough battery power so that it can return safely back to land. In addition to this, it has automatic return to home, and can land within 1 meter of its take-off spot, so you don’t have to manually land the AeroKontiki. These are just some of the features that make the AeroKontiki an easy-to-fly, safe, and intelligent UAV.
A high powered fishing machine, the BEAST AeroKontiki fishing drone is made of carbon-fiber and alloy, encasing all control systems within its frame. Protected by an elegant carbon-fibre canopy customised to your style using automotive air-brushed paint, it is water-resistant to rain. It has a robust structure with a Y6 frame, 6 very powerful brushless motors, and stabilisation software that gives it the strength and stability to fly in high winds over rough seas, sand bars, and reefs to your desired fishing spot. There is no doubt that AeroKontiki is an innovative, smarter way to fish.

WHERE CAN YOU USE THE AEROKONTIKI FISHING DRONE?
The operator needs to check with the Aviation laws of the country in which they intend to use the AeroKontiki. In New Zealand, information can be obtained from AIRSHARE at http://www.airshare.co.nz. This is a site specifically for UAV users, and has maps showing the controlled air space around airports.
AS A GENERAL GUIDE, YOU CAN FLY YOUR AEROKONTIKI:
-
In uncontrolled airspace below 400 feet above ground level.
-
During daylight hours.
-
Within visual line of sight.
-
Clear of all manned aircraft, persons, & property.
-
Outside of airspace restricted areas.
-
Not within 4 km of any aerodrome.
-
From a beach straight out to sea.
-
If you want to fly outside a 4 km radius of the Aerodrome, but within controlled airspace, first register on http://www.airshare.co.nz to obtain permission.​

The strongest, most durable small-diameter braid on the market. R8 precision braiding and fibre technology provide superior strength, roundness, and line consistency. Advanced Superline has 8 fibres (7 HMPE fibres plus 1 GORE® Performance Fibre) and 32 weaves (pics) per inch. GORE® Performance Fibres improve abrasion resistance, increase casting distance & accuracy, and reduce line vibration. HMPE fibres provide high strength & sensitivity, hydrophobic water-repellent protection, and small diameter.

Shimano ForceMaster Reel & Vortex Rod
DESCRIPTION
Shimano ForceMaster 9000 Electric Reel – Highly efficient, featuring the best components currently available on the market. A step up from the Daiwa 1000 Tanacom electric reel in its ability to pull in a long line with more fish. It can hold 1200 m of sinking braid compared to 1000 m with the Daiwa 1000 Tanancom electric reel. Extra cooling features such as a water-tight ventilation system allows a higher torque range, with more efficiency across the gears. Deep water prospecting just got a whole bunch ‘cooler!’ Halving the 140 ms per minute retrieve rate allows more time fishing and less time winding, and with a max drag of 25 kgs, even the biggest bottom dwellers will roll over on the new Shimano ForceMaster 9000 Electric reel.

Hagane Body: means this reel has high rigidity and zero twist. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing. The result transforms anglers’ actions directly into cranking power. This provides efficiency through strength.
-
S-ARB Bearings: these bearings have been through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings, but also feature shields on both sides of the bearings that reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting bearing rotation.
