Dude don't dream just do it! You can buy simpler fpv packages almost ready to go from places like readymaderc or getfpv. It all takes practice but with baby steps it's super fun and very safe.
I’ve been watching your videos for quite a long time now. I love always really enjoyed what you do and your video style. You just seem like a cool dude. Congrats
I wish I could accompany you while you setup all that equipment and during the flight. I can just watch all of it without saying a word. Such a wonderful hobby. I have always wished to do the same. Maybe I will sometime in future. 😇
Hi Daniel i wached your Video several times. I allways start my LR-Ranger 2000 with less throttle and apply flaps during take off procedure. Full throttle pushes the nows allwais almost into the ground. Your footages specialy the few down from the Mavic flying Ranger over the trees is just awesom! As well as your passion for our Hobby.
Watching these makes me want to build something like this so badly but I know I could never afford it or stick with the project haha. Great work, this is incredibly impressive
Nice! Hey in case you’re not already aware, an easy and accurate way to calibrate amp draw is to divide mah put back in by mah consumption reported, times your AMPS_PER_VOLT value. Works great.
Rob Pruitt Millennial “music” sucks so badly it’s not even music. It’s just a mish mash of sonic garbage thrown together over a boring beat with the irritating distorted voice like sound shrieking out a piss poor “melody”. I absolutely loathe this kind of sonic tripe.
Please don't refer to people as millenials or boomers or Gen Z-ers. People are people. And maybe if you took some time to get to know them instead of judging them, you might feel differently.
That was super helpful at the end. Is there an affordable way to use satellite coms for navigation? Also wondering about viability of using StarLink for controls and video streaming?
Dear friend, I have exactly that airplane: Still use the original motor and ESC, just changed the prop but same size, just APC style. I Have been running with 3s battery and flies good. I bought some " Lithium 35A 21700 3100mah" cells and after watching yours videos im thinking in making 4s battery packs. However, im afraid to overload the ESC or the motor and burn one or both (cause i have done a lot in the past) !! So, do you think its safe with this setup to run 4s pack?! Thanks Best regards
I'd either change the motor or propeller. the Speed controller is fine, although you will either need a new propeller (the stock one is a 10x6 with 3s if I remember correctly, so I'd go for something like a 9x5 or similar on 4s) or you can get a motor with a lower KV rating (the stock one is 1050kv on 3s, I'd go for something like 850-900kv on 4s. have fun flying!
Love the video! Funny you mention EMergent RC... they are local to me and were recently bought out by a missile defense company, which means you are technically using military grade equipment... cool!
Parking right beside the vault toilet beside Burkett lake? Nice and isolated; a bush would suffice if the curry was too laxative. I'm half way around the globe and still have no problem finding exact spots from limited information. Beautiful flight all the same.
I don't know how I missed this one. It's awesome! 5:40 is amazing! Your skills have truly advanced over the years man. That was like 4 or 5 videos worth of content. I know that TH-cam favors longer videos these days, but too bad because now we have to wait way longer between your releases!
I saw your video and find interesting .One can sit and monitor his farm , very large property 30-100 acres.Also can monitor traffic ,search and rescue .Also nice hobby to watch beautiful land scape ,mountains . One question I have is ,a drone will fly more distance or airplace.I think airplace will glide and use less energy. Airplace is more efficient my guss.
I'm only 3 minutes 28 seconds in and I'm loving the air-to-air in cinematic video you've done. You really stepped up your video skills. All right I'll keep watching
You should build some kind of automatic tracking for a directional telemetry and FPV antenna, using your position and the position of the plane to calculate which way to point it.
Thumbs down because what you are doing is illegal. It could have been legal with a bit more work but you chose the lazy way. Chose to make the FAA's job easier. Very selfish indeed. Great accomplishment nullified!
I blame this shit on DJI et. al. In the past, it took work and practice to fly RC aircraft (of any type). As a result, there wasn't all that much activity and it was pretty much ignored - i.e. not enough activity to make it worthwhile regulating. With the advent of things that took absolutely no skill (relatively speaking) to fly, every yahoo was putting stuff up in the air and not necessarily discretely. The threshold of activity was crossed and the authorities took notice that Something Must Be Done, and here we are.
If those batteries are 18650s the highest capacity right now is 3400 mha or 3.4ah. Love the video makes me feel bad I threw away my ranger. Had to save space to move. Do a capacity check with your charger.
If it wasn't for the loud "Music", your videos would be the best. I just have to constantly mute your videos and watch without sound. Just because you enjoy a repetitive porn-style music, doesn't mean other do too. Music is very subjective. The sooner you realize that, the more subs you'll start to have.
I'm definitely feeling these long range plane videos. I've got to make it out of Miami to find a good place to fly planes, they're so much funner than FPV drones in my opinion. Also, any worries of the Eff-Ey-Ey seeing you fly out of LOS? Best of luck, love the videos.
So, if I were to want to build one of these long range planes, but make it solar, what would you suggest? What would be the rough pricetag with it? (Excluding the laptop but including everything else)
Would it be possible to autonomously fly your solar plane something like 50 miles (or more) on a long sunny day? (launch it, they drive to meet it at its location later in the day). That would also be a really cool video!
Hey man, congrats on the projects. I try to bring some of the same concepts to atmospheric research but often stumble on FAA regulations. Are you doing these projects outside the US (besides the mountain flights in Washington)? If you are in the US, could you shed some light on how to get the proper authorizations for long-range flights?
No airspeed sensor? and no video injection to mission planner with USB to AV device? it can be so simple. RFD900X can also do telemetry and control PPM. did a similar flight recently over water. Are you doing the full tecs tuning before these full auto flights?
I hope you’re close by- I gotta bring some toys over and get some “mix it up” footage- I actually still have a few of the old Horizon “combat modules” with the adapters for current planes. (I don’t know how to spell the evil scientist laugh...) they’re a ludicrous amount of screaming fun even without FPV stuff. I’m trying to figure out how to get the stabilized MAVIC head tracking camera into a plane...
Awesome yet again. You never cease to amaze me with all you do. And to think the FAA wants to shut down this type of innovation. So sad. Keep doing what you're doing. We love it !!!!
But what he is doing could be legal. That would make it so much better for those in the hobby. This video is incredible but it's just another bullet in the FAA's weapon.
I'm just going to say for an FAA spies. He had spotters set up all along the route with transmitters and radios to communicate and control if need be ..
12:45 Yeah, in theory that’s what each cell is at. But their internal resistance could be vastly different (should be checking this every so often to keep them matched), which means one cell could be at 2.5 or 3 while another is at 4. And I’m sure you realize the danger that presents.
Ranger 1600 is cheap, good all round plane. All the Bixlers are great to. For Auto pilot I always use the old school cyclops storm. Easy to set up and work well, no waypoint function tho, I believe the Cyclops Tornado has waypoint function.
You do such great videos, nice nice work. :-) I especially like the Mavic chase footage. I love quads, they're amazing, but my first and truest love will always be fixed wing. When you said how you love flying that Ranger in for landings, I was totally on the same page with you. Every time I brought my FPV planes in for touchdown, it felt just brilliant. Taking off, flying and landing in a fixed wing is... just right. :-) I really like that plane, btw. If I was just starting out with RC and FPV, I'd definitely start with one of those. Not sure how I feel about plastic parts because I learned on and did my whole reign of terror on foamies, but still. NICE plane. BTW I've taken to studying your videos as a how-to guide. It's not like I couldn't just pick up where I left off and build myself a custom FPV flyer like no big deal, but you're really truly _good_ at this. Anyone can learn quite a lot from how you do things. BTW, don't you need some solars on top of that wing? ;-)
I always wondered, having flown only quadcopter for freestyle, no long range, just a few hundreds of meters maximum maybe, how much such a setup cost (not including laptop of course, but like... plane + components inside + dargonlink or similar + ground fpv station - antenna, screen) ?
You have given a lot of information on the electronics you use, but I did not hear you mention the size of motor you use on your different aircraft, in particular the Delta wing and the aircraft you used to fly to the mountain. It appeared to have about an 80 inch wingspan, of your own build and design I believe. Could you advise us on the size of the aircraft and motors of the aircraft you used. Thank you for your videos. I enjoy them very much.
Excellent! Need to figure out what that setup limit is. Gtrick90 (rcg) used a z84 (840mm wing) with 4s-7000 Li-Ion 18650 pack did 100 mile round trip in 4 hours over the ocean. This website shows a guy doing 184 mile (292KM) round trip fpvlab.com/forums/showthread.php?20039-Personal-Bests-V5-(LEADERBOARDS)&
15:05 Now *that* is an outro! None of this, "Please like, comment, share, subscribe, follow me on facebook, instagram, twitter, myspace, buy my merchandise and here's 10 minutes of paid promotions." Awesome views BTW, those frosty mornings look breathtaking.
In many countries this would be illegal, flying FPV out of line of sight... let alone autonomous flight without being able to directly control the RC plane.
11:24 The rock on the ground in the background kinda looks like a skull as the camera sweeps past it. I'm sure if you actually held the camera still on it and brought it into focus, it wouldn't look like that anymore. It's one of those "face on mars" kinda illusions.
Cool stuff Daniel. Just a couple of things that worry me a little. You should have a spotter next to you whenever you're flying FPV with two things in the air and probably not flying it over built up area. If I were closer, I would love to help you and be your spotter. The other thing is your plane with return to home when flying over the clouds sound ok but if a plane/heli comes near it, you can't visually see the plane to make corrections to avoid a plane/heli. The second part in the video seems a lot safer, much more open area.
Add some solar panels like those Canadians did and you should be able to autonomously fly it back to Utah. I sure wish you would take off from the ground, Yknow, for realism.
9:37 "simar to how my autonomous boats are set up" aka you lost telem and vid and let it continue without line of sight. But didn't want to tell us about your rule breaking. ;-)
Nice. Going back to level up on old challenges. loving the progression. Please do more of that diagram explaination of your setups. so cool to see you break it all down in a realtively simple visual way !

Who else remembers when FPV was a little niche hobby. And no one was complaining about the rules but just enjoying the flying?
Benjamin Harvey me!!
You should build some kind of automatic tracking for a directional telemetry and FPV antenna, using your position and the position of the plane to calculate which way to point it.
People have done this: ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-antenna-tracking.html
can you teach us how to make those battery packs?
Thumbs down because what you are doing is illegal. It could have been legal with a bit more work but you chose the lazy way. Chose to make the FAA's job easier. Very selfish indeed. Great accomplishment nullified!
