I like my Motionsic Head tracking systems. I use the old DJI Air Unit in mine. But I have a couple of the new O3 Air Units to try now. No need for flight controllers, albeit I have several of the Matek controllers.
@@TwoBrosRC have you seen Motionsic’s channel? .., they are head-tracking FPV pioneers!!! .., I have been flying FPV (analog) since 2019, but because of their channel, I have a dream!!! .., gonna get into the DJI digital system, and put two cameras on an E-flite Viper 90.., one with head tracking and one for onboard DVR straight out the front of the nose… I chase jets with my FPV quads already, but think how much cooler it will be line of sight to see TWO jets scream by in formation!!! 😃🤩🤩🤩🤩🤪
Just got mine and maiden it today. After 3 unsuccessful launches. I took the reflex gyro out. Put an AR637T spektrum in and had two successful flights. First one was really pitch sensitive. Added an ounce of nose weight and it flew great. Launches were controllable but still allot of torque roll in it
Yeeeeeah Baby !! Rock n roll !! Pure adrenaline!!!! This plane wakes you right up ! It is a rocket 🚀 great save on the maiden 👍🏻👍🏻 a few more flights and you will have it dialed .. great hand tosses 👍🏻 this plane can get your heart pumping… awesome flights ! 👍🏻👍🏻 I fly mine on low rates per the manual with 25% expo
I had one of these and I did not have the CG issues you were having, mine balanced nicely. The sound is very unique, it turns heads and makes people smile but it's a poor flying plane. I broke the propellor every third landing it seemed. Due to the high speed the plane lands the ESC brake wasn't strong enough to hold the prop in place so I couldn't get the prop parallel to the ground prior to landing as it was always spinning. The brake did slow it down but it still spun. This prop breaking was exasperated by the inability to flair without it stalling and tipping to one side or the other and buggering up the wingtips or the nose. I had several high speed stalls in turns were the airplane spiraled into the ground from various heights and speeds causing various levels of fixable damage but the plane got ugly fast due to the repairs. The last time I was at about 3/4 throttle in a tight turn and before I could say flash it spun into the ground in a left hand spiral from about 75 feet. It was / is still repairable but I'm going to take the ripping motor and put it in an experimental airlines type foam board wing and see what it does. I bet I end up with a more stable aircraft that is just as fast and uniquely loud. It is fun but even really good pilots are going to eat it with this one.
It definitely flew fine for us - but it's one of those models that needs to be flown nose heavy to fly stable. Every aircraft will stall at any airspeed if you bank hard enough and pull the elevator. That isn't unique to this design.
@@TwoBrosRC You're not wrong, any airplane will do that with enough elevator but the manual calls for a tiny amount of control throw even in high rate and I didn't deviate from the instructions. It was a quirky and a bit unpredictable airplane for me even when balance correctly. The other thing you can notice is it "hunts" around at high speed to the point that I always flew with the gyro on,. even then I couldn't make it go away entirely. That made me really cautious because it is so fast and compact you could really hurt someone / something if it gets away from you. I got 40 or so flights out of it and after being in and out of the hobby for decades it was the only plane that I've had in a long time that gave me a bit of a rush to fly lol. I don't regret the purchase. Fly it for a bit and see what happens is all I can say, especially if you push it a little bit... Good luck and thank you for the content. I do enjoy the channel!
@@TwoBrosRC the Matek F405WING or F722WING flight controller is a great beginning setup. They work great and are made for airplanes with standard dupont servo leads. Since you use Spektrum, you will want an XBUS receiver. Any camera and VTX would work. Walksnail has been proven to have the farthest HD range, but if you want things to be simple then an analog setup is just fine. INAV requires a GPS module, and iFlight and Matek both make a great M8Q-5883 with a small form-factor. Matek also makes a pitot tube airspeed sensor that may be a nice touch for you. These are the basics. You can always add camera switchers, lidar, optical flow sensors, multiple cameras, and more too, if you have enough channels and the desire to do so.
@@TwoBrosRC Do a PC-21 review, then use it as an FPV trainer to get a different perspective. It’s great flyer for both. You can hold a nice wheelie on landing with it!
FAST birds, (that, V900, V1200 etc) I can see a gyro/safe. Otherwise, no.🤷♂️ My Neptune prop driven wing on a 4s/1500 was (WAS) pushing 160mph. Just no room to see what it was capable of.
Gyros are all personal preference, of course, up until you run something with an aft CG. Then they're absolutely necessary, regardless of what the airframe is. Even the Super Cub we got from FMS requires the gyro to fly stable if the CG is moved aft while flying with floats. We're not sure why people hate on gyros so much - you can tune them so they're basically invisible while flying, and they absolutely do not fly a model for you.
It's tail heavy because battery is too far back. And it has two finger holes on bottom to launch it over your shoulder not under your arm, and also hold off on throttle till you toss it in the air otherwise you're probably not gonna be able to give the bird someday because it might get chopped off🤔🤔
Can you make a video on fpv? I have the eflite ec1500 but I don’t know anything about fpv, zero, but I would like to have an fpv setup on that plane with a range of about 2km at a not so high altitude in a relatively busy neighborhood. It is my dream, I don’t really have a budget but I don’t want to overkill and get a crazy expensive setup… Please help, fpv looks so fun!
Glad you are exploring getting into FPV flying. If you want head-tracking equipment, we can hook you up!
Hook us up how?

@@jlester42 The Motionsic BadAss Gimbal would still fit the O3 camera. You can try it out.
@@TwoBrosRC If you get the DJI FPV Goggles and Air Unit, I can supply you with gimbal and head-tracker for review. Contact me via email.

Glad to see you finally get into FPV. This was probably inevitable. Ive yet to convert a plane, still stuck flying quads FPV.
Nice dude!! Please keep the fpv fixed wing content coming!!
Yess you finally tried FPV can't wait to see you fly other jets in FPV with your buddie. You should get the DJI Goggles 2 and O3 AIR UNIT

Mine is still in the box . Glad to see more videos on it. I am going with DJI on mine.
Well this is terrifyingly fun!

DJI fpv equipment will be your best friend
That's what our drone pilot says too.
I love the speed indicator on the top right!
Can't wait to see your setup! Are you running INAV or just a vtx/vrx? The voltage osd, alone, in INAV is well worth the extra setup. Have fun!
Just a basic FPV camera with goggles and a GoPro Hero 7, nothing too fancy yet.
@@TwoBrosRC if you get into flight controllers, you will have a hard time going back to this for FPV.
@@cwwisk Any recommendations?

That sound, wow...
That thing looks pretty crazy. What mods do you think you’d need to hit maybe 150-200 range?
A more powerful motor would probably do it, that or adjusting the prop to pitch up a little more.
That’s crazy ! Wow
Someone's having fun as this model is sold out!
FMS sent it to us last month. It was probably in stock then but it took us a while to get enough decent footage of it to make it worth presenting.
@Two Brothers Radio Control Oh I completely understand. While I'm thinking about it. What's the max wind speed you'd fly a cub or any tail dagger in?
@@Rob86er 20 to 30 MPH is our usual wind limit for most foam airplanes.
Please do get into FPV EDF JETS also!
We're planning on it in the future!
When are you reviewing the PC-21?
No idea, they never sent it to us and we didn't ask for it. We can ask for it though, but no idea if there's enough interest.
@@TwoBrosRC Do a PC-21 review, then use it as an FPV trainer to get a different perspective. It’s great flyer for both. You can hold a nice wheelie on landing with it!
Did the gov dream die? Would be awesome to see your big jets with cockpit view as well as the camera tracking support
We need our own FPV goggles before we can move up to more FPV vids.
@@TwoBrosRC can’t wait ! Just got the same su Alejandro has and I’m excited to add fpv once it’s locked in
How much flight time are you getting with this battery?
Check the video timestamps, you can see how much flight time it got.
What I’d do with mine is push the battery all the way forward
🔋
Tell me u have an f1 car without telling me you have an f1 car.

The FMS Flash is more like a guided missile than an FPV aiplane.....
Nice :p

Who could stand that sound....it's like going to the dentist 🙄
It really isn't that bad.
Great review. Can you please tell me the complete FPV setup you used because I would like to purchase that setup for this plane. Thanks
Join us on Discord via bit.ly/TBRCDiscord and ask in the #fpv channel.
