- So in this part, we returned on the same day and this time we went out to 20km (40km round trip) - again, really easy. You will notice white banding on the OSD image, this is actually a defective VTX, which we changed out and sorted for part three, where we pushed even further.
Enjoy!
Will.

Nice work, I remember the first time I passed 10mi and then 15mi and even 20mi. Really nerveracking.
I'm not bashing your attempts in anyway. Although it is classified as illegal in many parts of the world. I give you a thumbs up! The foam or balsa planes are no threat to commercial or personal Aircraft and would disintegrate upon contact. Although we all (All RC Pilots) push the boundaries from time to time one way or another. this is how we learn and come up with better ideas. We invent we test we fly. Good job boys and be safe from Canada!
Awesome flight, I can't believe how clear your fpv setup was..
i know I am kinda off topic but does anybody know a good website to stream new movies online ?
Would have been great to have the on board footage on the whole screen instead of looking at a laptop the whole time.
Loving you rig. Lots of fun.. 3D cameras are cool on the plane. Thanks for the upload
This is a spectacular video! Nicely done. Greetings from Arizona.
Bloody hell? How do you manage to keep the video in excellent condition without a single breakup?
wish I could hear what you guys are saying the wind makes it hard to hear
AWESOME video!!! 😀 GREAT JOB MATES👍🏼
Id love to know what the total cost to buy the finished product would be i think this is awesome. Would you be able to fit more specialized equipment like thermal imaging camera to the plane or would that be to heavy?
sub # 930! great vid like these long flights from start to finish
Very well done and great videos along the way Thank you...!cheers
Stunning flight men
Super duper way kool
That guy with red top is a right Norris and i don't mean chuck Norris i mean Norris of coronation street.
lmfao!
UkPrepper2016 Military/Survivalist they both bell ends 😅 good vid though
UkPrepper2016 Military/Survivalist He is but the guy flying is an arrogant dick. Not nice energy, but he has cool toys, so that nasal tone could be tolerable.
Hello,
Very nice flight. Is your display the RMRC 12" display? Can you go over your setup? Most of your station look like what I use. Would be nice to have a wind screen on the mic you guys use.
Thanks Chuck
May I ask what you used on the Spektrum for an antenna or is there some other Tx module that you haven't mentioned in the description. EDIT: Forget it I 'm sorry I obviously misread, you are using EZuhf but I still have not seen that antenna config. Your own construct? Also I have been looking for the grey EPO SkyHunter. Any help with a source would be greatly appreciated. I am just beginning to make "Sorties" with an AXN and it is just not big enough to fit all the gear and mAh capacity to get any range and my shopping list is just nuts :-).
What kind of battery did you use on this ??
What uhf system u used ?
another nice flight - congrats
Thanks Reggie
"Bird!" LOL
What's next guys .. "PLANE!"?
from what you said. .. Melksham etc you guys are local to me.. Westbury. .. and new to fpv. ...
nice flight,
can you make a video with an overview of your sky hunter?
i would like to see that a lot, im very interested
Thanks Danny.
Sure, I'll do one this week!
Very nice. When i have some time i would also make one. Share the knowledge haha
Yeah definitely do that - it all helps!!!
+fpvrevolution Which use the engine, propeller and battery?
+fpvrevolution . Greetings Sir, nicely done. I am working on a similar project for whale watching, I would like to have some advise from you please. Thank you
I just did the same question to myself when I saw the video. How you can use 2 different types of antennas and get so much range.I have those antennas to;I will try them tomorrow. Nice video.
Very nice flight,
Based on your experience with Skyhunter and Talon X UAV, which one you feel it can carry more payloads and fly the 100 minutes easily?
And which one of them can handle a strong wind over 30 knots?
really nice flight, what screen is that and does it blue screen? Im currenty using a 19" tv but im looking for something about that size
what power level was this for the ezuhf? looking for something cheap to get me a long ways, crossfire isnt cutting it for me and dragonlink is out of stock everywhere...
Very amazing video, thanks for share it, how many Ma in batteries are you using here?. And, you are using a Vee antenna (linear) is vtx, and a pepperbox in Vrx, (circ polarization), is ir right?
Thumps up !!!greetings from greeece !
Thanks for the cool video. Will you tell what battery and motor you used?
What was the warning sensor notification about?
Also what motor, esc, prop size, and battery size do you guys have. BangGood says 1400kv, but if you put lets say 900kv with a larger 8" prop would it use less power?
this is just amazing military grade stuff. how much did the whole setup cost?
wow, very nice trip. what batts setup are you using here?
What VTX are you using? Great vids! Thanks
Wow! Nice aircraft. Do you still have the flight video with OSD from this flight? Can you share it? I'm designing a long endurance power supply and I need some more detailed flight parameters. (Such as take off power (current), normal climb power (current-time vs altitude gain) and most impotently, minimum power for sustained level flight (and associated airspeed). If you have already determined those parameters, could you share them? If not, could you share the raw video from the flight?
Thanks.
Is there any delay in the controls and what you see on screen?
Hi really enjoyed that, can you recommend where I can buy all this kit to assemble it?
thanks Simon
At the start and near the end of the video the osd says sensor error but whats causing this ?
What size is the screen your using on the ground station?
Amazing flight
what antenna are using on your DX18 tx? where did u get it?
are you flying this in england? are there any legal limitation to this?
why the hell would you cut the video feed mere seconds before landing.
Good but why cut the landing? Did it crash on your head?
Great video. Thxs
Can someone tell me where you can buy the skyhunter in the uk??
Hi, wat brand battery you using for this setup?
what are you using for your FPV system.. frequency, hardware.. etc?
Guys, is that FPV antenna tracker system sell in kit? or do i have to integrate separately?
i have a hubsan 109s im suppose be be able to fly about 1000 meters, the drone has good signal but the fpv goes out way too soon, is there a better 5.8ghz antenna i can buy so i can see on screen where i am at
Great job!
How did you get CAA approval for this flight? (or should I not ask? lol)
Hello ... first congratulations for your excellent video ... I use an antenna vee of rangevideo like her and also pepperbox use, because the polarization of the antenna vee be linear and the pepperbox be circular, I could not come up with 4km good image. How could you? his immersion ezuhf rx is with diversity? big hug from Brazil here.
Wilson Rodrigues he's not using 800mw the VTX is a 2.5W ! and ya he has a CP antenna on ground station and a linear polarized V antenna on the transmitter. the 2.5 watt VTX is the only reason he had good video.

Do you guys wear the goggles for FPV?
Great flight guys! Got me by a mile!!! I'm running a 11x5.5 on a penguin @1080kv on 3s. 10,000 keeps her up over an hour, i'm guessing probably pretty comparable flight times I'm running a vector not a ruby. Is that a V transmit antenna you using on 1.3? I did not realize that match so well with a pepperbox!
What king of motor Mount did you use to fit an 11 size prop on a penguin? Theres a CXN Motor mount that can fit a 10" Never seen an 11". I also have a penguin running 10000 mah but can get 40min pulling 12A constant.
It's a SmallParts CNC mount. Runs up to 12 in props..
eric deherrera Sir what equipment are you using? please post.
Finwing Penguin
eMax 1100kv 35mm 60amp esc
Vector osd/controller
EZUHF tx module with Moxon
EZUHF 8ch lite RMRC dipole
800 mw Partom 1.3 tx VAS Mad Mushroom
Partom 1.3 ghz rx VAS Crosshair antenna
25 mw 5.8 repeater (immersionrc)
2x Turnigy 3s 5000mah
Dominator V2
FrSky Taranis with Jet Fuel 2500 mah lipo for LRS.
I think that's it on that plane, pulling about the same with a FX61 its not as efficient, but going to build a Sweepwings Behemoth within the next month or so, it's supposed to haul some serious weight and still glide like an albatross!!
Range is a lot of fun, but it's all about setting little goals for myself. I really like flying proximity with a nice fast agile wing! Ripping around trees close to the ground then tearing up one vertically, as not to hit it! It's a blast!!! Use mostly 5.8 gear for that, and good quality antennas and a little research is the key to success!!! Fly on my friends!!!
Whats a motor you use?
This is so unbelievable! What's the signal time response from the controller to the airplane? Does it get lag after 20 miles or something? Do trees block the signal if flying too low?
dispatcher7007 Cool, I didn't know it was so awesome!
What about trees/hills/building interference?
Jose Díaz 433mhz is pretty resistant to obstacles. EzUHS has freq hopping so interference shouldn't be too much of a problem either.
For tyou, what is the best FPV platerform SKYHUNTER or SKYWALKER?
+Koestel Skyhunter all the way. My skywalker is like a kite flying upwind. It has very little on the outside but I'm lucky to get 15mph ground speed upwind with any wind.
Where did you have the Repeater? I am guessing some where along the flight path.
Please let me know.
Gfdf Perte No repeater.
can you give me details of what fpv gear was used buddy ?
ya need to buy a better wind shield for ya mic mate!
I'm thinking about starting fpv, what would you recommend?
How do you get that much of range is it radio controlled or what? By the way I'm new in this field
yes radio control, he's using EzUHF for that, which is an outdated system now.
how does the DX18 do long range?
Just getting into fpv, was wondering how did you get the compass to show up? Do you have to buy a compass as an addon?
He's using an OSD/Autopilot - the one he has is the Ruby, but they don't sell that one to the public anymore. A really popular one right now is the Eagletree Vector.
What happend to the video at around 26:00?
good job guys.. what channel did you use on your vtx plz.. my dragon link walks all over my 800mw 1.2 signal .. thanks
+Rich “FpvNutz” Pete Do you mean your dragonlink Tx walks over your 1.2ghz Rx?.
Hi, yes it does. Thnaks
As much as the battery can take it of course!!
I need one of these to hunt for ufos...
if i had the money i would do this:
get a my twin dream with high efficiency motors, cover as much surface area with solar cells and add a fan converted into a generator spun by magnets. plus the highest capacity batteries i could find.
the telemetry + video feed will come through 3G Raspberry PI
Den Da Gamer add drag with your "generator" make motors work harder to compensate. Extra weight from the "generator".
Video link via raspberry pi, laggy and Lower resolution than your traditional down link.
MTD with high efficiency motor setup and stuffed full of 18650 packs like the titan flight ones should give you masses of flight time.
RESPECT!
Amazing !
Where can I purchase this equipment? Please help.
ReadyMadeRC
Seven fousand two hundred. Free hundred meters.
how do you make an edf rc plane long range like this?
you use a wifi booster??
Somebody can tell me how to have a length tidies up to drone transmitter?
also, what battery options?
Line of sight?
How and where could I buy it?
very nice e, I'm getting g the same bird. what do you recommend? ezuhf or Dragon Link or TBS Crossfire...I'm thinking ezuhf jr connection. I'm already the owner of a modded p3a
what uhf system did you end up buying? i hear alot of bad things on the jr module but i want one myself they are only like 72 dollars... thats like 2/3 the price of just a tbs crossfire reciever...
could you take a SR71 or a b1 bomber, and send it out on a long range flight.
How much for a set up like this?
4000£
skyHunter from RMRC is about $130ish and fpv gear ranges so it really depends on what you are wanting to do with the plane. fatshark goggles $500 plus modules that are around $70ish or a little screen is around $100-$250(for a pretty good one)plus Video receiver for the screen runs about $50-$85. You get what you pay for...... thus is you want to do long range FPV flights, please don't go cheap on your gear... I learned the hard way.. and ground stations run anywhere from $300- and up. then you have the antennas and antenna tracker, which is pretty pricey but well worth it. oh and dragon link for control- $335 V3 full system. Then Victor Auto-Pilot and GPS which is around $350. oh and batteries, two 10,000MaH 4S 10c : so 20,000 MaH of power will get you to where ever you want to go(with in reason LOL). two multi-star batteries are about $160 for the two... so the a roud about cost is....................................... $1770 so around $2000 you could have a great set-up and fly long range.... Hope this helps anyone. Happy Flying!!
THANKS FOR THE GREAT INFO RANDY....VERY NICE OF YOU TO HELP US LEARN....VERY INTERESTING......I WONDER IF YOU COULD ADVISE PLEASE WHY THESE ITEMS DON'T RUN OFF THE LTE OR CELL PHONE NETWORKS? FOR VIDEO...AUDIO.....CONTROL??? THANKS!
Randy Hayes :
Is that USD, GBP, or EUR?
how to make a model airplane fly so far?
Could you add more soler cells and have it ride the wind
thx friend :-)
how can you not lose signal?
ikr
that's a CP antenna on your ground station and a linear polarized V antenna on your transmitter I don't get it why missmatch your antenna's like that ?
why does the gs have a rvosd tracker when the plane has some other osd and you have no tracking antennas? every thing is a miss match !
they're using a pepperbox, they have a 145 degree wide beam, you really don't need a tracker with one of those, especially when flying distance.
cp antenna on the gs and a linear antenna on the plane?
AE 2 or AE 3 hundred mAh? lol
What airspace did you guys fly in? Perhaps there is a market for pilots wanting to avoid colliding with these toys by using an RF jammer in the cockpit to make these things crash before hitting a passenger aircraft.
Fuck off.
Mick E With no disrespect, this flight can be undertaken quite legally if done properly. The problem here is that people continue to post flights like these which are unlawful and will ruin it for everyone else who attempts to achieve such milestones with unmanned aircraft while going through all the correct and legal procedure.
Some rules for UK specific UAV operations, interestingly enough in the UK the rules seem to be quite accommodating compared to say the US where they are more strict.
CAP 722
Unmanned Aircraft System Operations in UK
Airspace - Guidance
Section 2 (Policy)
Chapter 1 (UAS Airspace Operating Principles)
Part 6.7
If the System does not have an approved Detect and Avoid capability, the restrictions
detailed below will normally be applied to UAS operations outside segregated
airspace as part of the CAA permissions and exemptions process. The aircraft shall
not be flown:
• in controlled airspace, except with the permission of the appropriate ATC unit;
• in any aerodrome traffic zone except with the permission of either the appropriate
ATC unit or the person in charge of the aerodrome;
• at a height exceeding 400 feet above the surface;
• at a distance beyond the visual range of the Remote Pilot/RPA observer of the said
aircraft, or a maximum range of 500 metres, whichever is less;
• over or within 150 metres of any congested area of a city, town or settlement; or
• within 50 metres of any person, vessel, vehicle or structure not under the control
of the Remote Pilot; during take-off or landing, however, the aircraft must not be
flown within 30 metres of any person, unless that person is under the control of
the Remote Pilot.
Matt Findlay
In the US you can fly for 5 miles without breaking any FAA laws.
The CAA only allows 500 meters! That is some major difference right there.
Also to get your 'drone license' in the UK it is mega-bucks! Something like £1000+ per year!
Watch Ryder even if there was laws in the UK everyone would ignore them.
Watch Ryder and you dont need a licence in the uk.
what antena you use!
antenna
For Video or for Tx? VAS Pepperbox 1.3ghz for video and EzUHF for TX
Hi Guys, Can you post all equipment used and how to hook it all up. The video is great but the rest of us would love to know how to do this also. or is it a secret.. Thansk and I hope you post. Thanks
Get a wind sock for the mic
This is the perfect way to make fpv completely prohibited. Just go on....
FLAT EARTH ALL THE WAY
TechArchive cant believe today its still to some a possibility. that said i thought we had it figured out right HAHA flat eathers are strange considering the believe to some relates to a biblical knowledge and with that said many believe there is a dome surrounding earth haha which i guess blows their minds when they try to explain meteorites. i dont understand them but oh well free minds it may benefit us in some way later. since if everyone thought the same there wouldnt be diversity in science like today. i with you though LOL dont see how ppl can devolve in this particular notion. i still have yet to hear many moving statements that would change my mind to a flat earther.
Nice video could a person cover the same range with a land vehicle RC?? Thanks if you reply:)
what music is playing?
Where do you guys get 25 miles from? To me it says 20km on the screen.
orque123 They'll need to fly the 20km back "home", in which gives a total flight distance of 40 km.
that's not a 800mw VTX that's a 2.5w
