@@bonafidepirate Ive been gathering supplies to start messing with 18650 packs both on micro quads and fixed wings so i think Im going to set it up for a 2s 18650 configuration.. I dont really need it to be sub250 but its cool that i can bring it down to that if im flying somewhere conspicuous lol
Having the same problems with the weather here in the UK. Very little flying been done for the last two months, had a brief spell of calm weather earlier this week which i took advantage of, but now it's back to real windy conditions again, and looks like it's set to stay like that for the next week at least. Windy conditions can be fun for flying from time to time, but gets annoying quickly, especially when it comes with days of rainfall at the same time. Lets hope things settle down in the New Year.
I definitely need to invest in some Inav I lost my first Nano Talon cloud surfing exactly like this! I lost orientation and the winds carried me out of range. LESSON LEARNED
You probably dont care but does someone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me
Beautiful flight, a lot of fun to watch. These are the flights of yours I like to watch and I learn alot too. Thanks for posting and I'm looking forward to your next one.
Maybe on a good day! lol I don't know how far it will go, or how far this little plane can go on the battery yet either. I can balance it with a 3S 1500 and the current setup. I've been flying it on a 1300 3S for the last few flights, first ones were with a 800 3S.
I do want to try those out! lol I have an order in at Banggood waiting to ship, but I'm not sure when I'll get them. That Matek vTX is using the same RF module that I used for the vTX on the Esky Eagle, so it should be pretty comparable, but likely with better power filtering than I have on mine... lol I'm mostly looking forward to see how their receiver performs.
Nice flight! Some cloud surfing, something different! Thanks for posting the STL file for the rear hatch cover, I'm definitely going to print one. I don't like the lousy sticker one they provide lol. I have a couple 1300 3S batteries I'll use when I maiden mine, but was thinking of making a 3500 2S pack with a couple 18650's. That might be overkill on 5.8 video though.
I think you can get some real flight time with the 18650s. I like the extra punch with the 3S though, and I already had them wasting away so I put them to good use... lol I will probably try the 1500s as soon as I swap the connectors to XT30s.
you should be able to disable 5ghz on your router and run just 2.4ghz, i dont have any need to do it in my house as i dont fly from it but my router allows me t turn off 5ghz if i want.
Yeah I'll do that before flying 5.8 in the past... lol My old router was set up that way, I just never thought to do it with the new one. The only reason I even have wifi in there is for the smart plugs that my 3D printers are plugged into, and a wifi camera that lets me check on them... lol Everything else is wired ethernet.
@@bonafidepirate im a hard wired person too, i ran ethernet from the router downstairs up though a void all the way to the loft, across it and back down to the other side of the same room the router is in because i didnt want cables running round the skirting but couldnt handle wifi on my desktop ha ha.
@@stevefox3763 I worked for a while setting up networks in homes, small businesses, and schools. Everything from running cables through crawl spaces on up... lol I like to wire everything where I can, but WiFi has it's place too of course.
What GPS Module are you using on this setup. I just got my very first ZOHD Planes the Nano Talon and the Dart 250. I was originally planning on installing the Ko-Pliots in both but after watching your video I think I'm going to go with the Matek F411 WSE for both. I have a Bixler 1.1 with a Matek F411 Wing in it and I love it :)
What inav settings you have for f11 wse? I need buy sth for Dart250 too, my first FC from scratch ( now I have SN-L sinan, same as eagle vector for half price)
This is such a sick build and amazing vid, to think a sub 250g or close could ever be a reality mind blown 🤯🙏👊 my god... @you and @zohd u are literally KILLING IT this might be a world recorded....ps thats my standard vtx! Trying a few new but you cannot go wrong with an x2 imo... especially with a good say foxeer cam and lolli... standard best imo again... this is NEXT LEVEL they don't know...😔 lol 😂 👊X100
Great video. Just found your channel and love it. Subscribed! I was wondering if you could do a short video on how to setup a R9M module on a Jumper T16 and getting it to work with a R9 Rx. I am having trouble getting it all to work together.
I'm not sure about the new Access version of the R9M, mine is the older one before that. I just plugged it in and select R9 in the model setup as usual.
Heading South but getting blown to the East..?...lol....hmm, that video was typical 5.8g....A good demo of why we don't use it for sure. Signal propagation at altitude with clouds below, not good...Man, that was an edgy flight tbh...lol.
Yeah, thats exactly what I was thinking....lol.....You know the R9M will work okay alongside 1258mhz video?...try it, I had no problems at all....worked really well.
Yep, I'm using it with 1280MHz on the Esky Eagle. I use 915Mhz notch filters on my video receivers and it works great, though I haven't used it without those filters to see if it's any worse. lol I have the Crossfire here too that I'll use in a build soon with 1280. Should be fun!
Im using 868mhz of course, and no notch filters on my Lawmate vrx. No issues...Did you buy the Crossfire?...I was waiting for TBS to give you one for review....this will be interesting to watch, I was considering trying Crossfire myself, but cant really justify it, I like my EZUHF too much....lol.
@@EnglishTurbines Yeah I bought the Crossfire "starter kit" with 5 receivers and the full size Lite module. I already LOVE all the "quality of life" extras as far as features and setting things up... lol I'm looking forward to flying it. If it performs as well as the Dragonlink I'll be sold on it for sure. That's a big thing to ask for though... DL is like magic... haha

Cloud surfing on 5.8 with an almost sub 250g plane?!? Man i am getting one of these for SURE! Thanks for another great video Mr. Pirate :)
It's a fun little wing in a small package for sure! It weighs in at 304g as I flew it here. It's 322g (I think, 320-something) with a 3S 1500.

398ft in the clouds!!! 😂😂
Love seeing what this little plane can do. Just ordered one a couple of days ago!
Been watching your videos for years. Nice one again

Would love to see more and longer Dart 250g videos.
Beautiful flight, a lot of fun to watch. These are the flights of yours I like to watch and I learn alot too. Thanks for posting and I'm looking forward to your next one.
Pretty sweet flying, dude! That little wing is really amazing! 😃
Yeah it is, I really didn't expect it to be as capable as it is when I first got it... lol It was a nice surprise!
Very nice flight
Thanks!
I came to see the baro comments. LOL
Would like to see you push this r9m system to !FS!
Maybe on a good day! lol I don't know how far it will go, or how far this little plane can go on the battery yet either. I can balance it with a 3S 1500 and the current setup. I've been flying it on a 1300 3S for the last few flights, first ones were with a 800 3S.
Second that!
@@bonafidepirate put liion batterie ( 18650 size ) for long flight time 😉
The 5.8g video will disappear before the R9 drops the link....

What battery did you use sir for this flight setup
That looked like a great flight!
good flight! How much weight does it have? I'm putting mine together and it's 325 grams I don't know if it will be too much
nice. which one flies more stable? this one or the zohd talon 250g?
I see what you did there :D
hey..
where do you get inf about the wind?
It's an app called UAV Forecast, they also have a site you can check here - www.uavforecast.com/

I use the BN-220, hard to beat it for the balance of size/weight, performance, and cost! bit.ly/2PZnQgW or amzn.to/2LF61Rl
Hey, how about trying INAV radar mode so you can see where you are relative to home?
What fpv camera and flight controller are you using,would like to replicate this set up
Where do you get that wind report?
What is the weight of the plane with battery? A lot above 250gr?
Nice vid Mr. Painless. ;)
lol Thanks!
Where do you look up your wind profile?
I use an app on Android called "UAV Forecast", it's usually really accurate as far as wind speeds and different altitudes.
@@bonafidepirate Thanks much! Will have to check it out
Thank god when you lost your video on 5:13 you where still able to see your hight! Like that you could ensure not to go over 398ft!
nice.
what is the auw with the mods?
304g as flown here
@@bonafidepirate thank you
Do you prefer the Dart 250 over the Nano Talon for a small FPV platform?

what prop do you use?
I'm using the 2-blade one that's included with the Dart 250. I found it works well even on 3S for cruising like I do.

It's the stock motor that came with it
