"My radio doesn't seem to be radioing" lmao put that on a t-shirt!
nice videos bros. deserve more subs
Hi Simon! Cool to see you here!
DEFENTLY. PRINT IT. PLEASE
Nice idea
I'd buy that :)
Plane: I wanna be free!
Set waypoints :I
Plane: Well sh***
lacucaracha111111 queen starts playing: I want to break free
We just dodged the birth of skynet by a hair. Lol
Shoulda called this vid "flying my plane in win98 desktop".
windows xp
@@jzjzjzj but the former is so much funnier
I thought it was win 7 but xp is actually correct. The picture is called "Bliss".
@@MattacksRC sure... Why not. 😐
10:07 New bliss wallpaper. Sell it to microsoft.
Why has this comment not gotten attention. I just laughed hard for the first time in a month.
Good👍👍👍
pls edit to 10:06
Wow, there was some beautiful tension as the glider was cruising along without direct control.
Man, this is so freaking cool! What a time to be alive. The shots at 6:36 and 7:30 when you spot the plane in the sky just flying on autopilot, it looks so cool! Can't believe we live in a time where someone made a free autopilot software that works this well.
A piece of advice from commercial pilot and software developer. ;-) ArduPilot normally does not maintain speed using speedbrakes so if you set steep descend at low speed it maintains vertical profile while the speed is actually higher than programmed. For that reason you should have taken into consideration minimal drag of the glider and plan shallow descend as it is not a problem to add some power in order to avoid stall while it is problematic to automatically use speedbrakes in order to maintain both vertical profile and desired airspeed. Even Boeing 737 including Max (as I know Dreamliner too) does not automatically use speedbrakes or flaps.
Good to see happy landing. :-)
If this happens again, you'll probably want to hit the "Arm/Disarm" button in your GCS software once you're confident on the landing approach. Or at the very least, hit it once you've landed. This will stop the motor from trying to spin on the ground, the plane is still trying to go to the next waypoint so it keeps the throttle on until you manually disarm it.
Or you could set up the autoland feature. Good call on not using it in this scenario though, it's got a few settings that need to be tuned before you can rely on it.
Imagine if the wright brothers could look at this TH-cam on a laptop, and see what wonders are in their future. Incredible and SOooooo awesome. Beyond the imagination of many EVEN STILL TODAY. Retired 70 year old electrical engineer. I've watched this growth since the 1960's. Your accomplishments have FAR surpassed my early imaginations of AUTOPILOT, where you can detect and utilize thermals, and GeoPositioning. I'm so incredibly impressed!!!
ADDENDUM:
11:39 add ground sensing radar, for landing Elevation, geopositioning data from Google maps, mountains, bodies of water, And "PHONE HOME" with geo coordinates after avoiding destructive cliffsides or water landings. Obviously there's still room to grow!!! INCREDIBLE...
Good job keeping a clear head and thinking to set a waypoint mission ! Great save !
It's such a majestic plane...its a shame I can't control it. Lol...
Lemon stabilizer n receiver
This was very exciting! So cool how the landing turned out. Thanks for capturing this flight, greets, Mario
What a great landing. That was some thinking on your feet uploading that landing pattern. Great to see such a competent pilot. Respect.
Wow! That couldn't have gone better! Excellent save!
i love how you remain absolutely calm throughout the whole ordeal
Damn... you kept your head in this situation😁 well done👍
Congratulations! That was a very cool flight with a good outcome.
More exciting than Game of Thrones this year.. Great video, lucky you were recording everything
20% skill 80% luck. Great job getting it back safe!! I love my ASW I have a similar setup and it's one of my "go to" sailplanes for playing with thermals. Keep the awsome videos coming!
Nice! Great setup and finally someone else that is FPV soaring with the camera in the right location!
Oh man, what a beautiful recovery! Such a graceful plane as well. Would be cool to see the full onboard video of that flight if you have it.
Nice job of handling that cool and calm. That comes with experience.
🤘😁👍
I've had many many glider and single engine plane flights (full scale), but have never crashed, lost or ruined an aircraft. After watching many videos on this channel, I've learned that you can't expect the same with RC's. But it sure looks like fun exploring all the different flying concepts and adventures.
Brooooo..... I know them feels!
Except I didn't have auto pilot.... :(
its still MIA to this day
EPIC save and landing BTW
Yeah, what an epic gamer moment
I know that feeling too!
Brooooo... I know them feels!
Except I don't have plane/Glider just a single used double A battery with yellow post-it note on it.
That was freakin cool. Kinda like the movie interstellar when he landed a military drone with a laptop
Yooo, glad I wasn't the only one thinking of the Indian drone in Interstellar!
From now on, I will never dispute the realism of that scene again. Thanks, Daniel.
Wow that was exciting! Love how the Autopilot held it nearby luckly you got that onboard! Great video! 👍🏼💪🏼
So majestic! very nice shots!
That landing was picture perfect. Wow
Wow! Did not expect that! You got SUPER lucky!
that landing was amazing considering everything involved
Great video, plane, flying and autonomousing...
Fantastic job. I want to copy.
I love arduplane it does incredible stuff all the time LOL! Auto land is one of the coolest features and works amazingly well!
Awesome save..... That was quick thinking . And the landing .. I cant believe there was ZERO damage
It been a while never see such an adventure video from you ... great experience, well done.
Congrats!!! That worked out so well!
Wow, wow, wow!!!!!!!! Amazing bro that you set the way points so perfectly!!! Still can't believe this happened!!!! Landed perfectly!!!
I was smiling my ass off the entire video - first from seeing you trouble shoot in real time and then from that PERFECT landing! Great work daniel!
This was epic! programming an autopilot course while the plane is out of rc control... Best RC glider video evah!
What a perfect landing. Pretty cool video.
Man I love your videos! I'm so glad you still make them
I felt like I was right there with you when the failsafe kicked in 😳
Glad the waypoint mission worked ✌️😎
Beautiful Glider !
Omg.... that was AMAZING................ MUST WATCH TILL END GREAT WORK UNDER PRESSURE!
Beautiful and exciting flight!...Thumbs up!...👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Awesome stuff! Currently in the works to build something similar to this :) thanks for all the informative videos
That was a no BS title. Great job.
amazing outcome!!
Wow amazing to see what's possible with arduPilot!!
Ive done a lot of rc flying until about 10 years ago. i witnessed a lot of rc control failures, but none was so relaxed like yours! Great video and also great Hangsoaring spot. Atm im not flying but i subscribed...
The power module of the pixracer doesn't provide enough current for a 1.5W telemetry receiver. You could tell that the receiver lost power in flight because the LED on your transmitter was Green, not Blue. That means it was not getting telemetry back from the RX. You need to power the receiver directly from the BEC, not the "RC In" port on the pixracer (don't connect the red wire there).
When the aircraft got a bit further away, the receiver telemetry power ramped up and caused the problem. You're very luck the pixracer didn't brown out.
@@Noircogi I think you likely nailed this. You never power a peripheral like that from the FC.
Perfect landing! Made me smile :)
The dragonlink has a spectrum analyzer function that you can access with a USB cable to your computer. You might see if the towers were putting out signals in the band.
Nice save. Love your honest videos!
OMG this was so great to watch. I can't believe it, you were so lucky.
My friends and I would throw parties up at the top of Steptoe butte our freshman yr in college. Love that place!
That was super fun to watch! Way cool!
Ardupilot supports a joypad or joystick though mission planner using the telemetry connection.
you could get a USB device or use a PlayStation 2 controller with a USB adapter, once set up you just leave the pad in your kit as an emergency backup with will allow you to take full control of flight over mission planner should something go wrong again.
The latency is very high and it's not something you'd wanna fly with for every day use but it can get you down safely when something goes tits up :)
that would depends about how low window latency is configured sik radio for long range telemetry.
@@christop3260 it does not matter how high the latency is, it is pretty high, the idea is to use it simply as a way to get the craft down in an emergency.
Tank you vidéo magnifique super bravo
I love your videos. Amazing choice !!
That was AMAZING! How lucky can you get...
If you happen to have any openLRS gear you can scan the noise floor from the configuration app on your laptop.
Good video with great visuals of the area, and a look at the good and not so good things about flying drones. RF from the towers 'may' have been an issue. Illustrates a good case to be made for having a pre-loaded set of "Abort to Home" waypoints for recovery. Steptoe Butte is in the middle of farm country. That "grass" that would provide a nice landing cushion is most likely wheat.
nice ...... please keep posting FPV videos.... I love them.
That was exciting. Good save.
Amazing recovery,,, brilliant man 🤪
Wow...nice job man, I wish half my flights worked out that way
Excellent adventure!
That was incredible!
Holy crap, this was one of the most exiting vids I've seen in a while :D
got lucky dude. and what a beautiful place 😉
Really cool spot. I used to go there for stargazing when I was in high school.
Ha, gay!
It’s not really star Gayzing when you have a girl with you.
4:00. That's why you lost control. Your glider was trying to get your video demonetized.
LMAO. He should edit that part out before some jerk reports it.
Right !!! Some dick head will report him im sure. P o s wanna be. Keep up the great work rctestflight
@Thu Nell Ⓥ Exactly 4 minutes in. Pause it. Look at the glider path. It looks like a very crudely drawn penis.
No way, you guys are just trying to cause trouble.
Burn Victim Yoda 2 months ago, "4:00. That's why you lost control. Your glider.... " I really think this comment and "OBSERVATION" to be ABSOLUTELY ABSURD. Viewers can see almost anything they wish in 'randomness' no matter how RIDICULOUS, and there SHOULD BE NO punishment to the author for an entirely unexpected claimed observation by someone, anyone, any person of entirely unknown background or certifiable sanity. We certainly CANNOT build anything of value if it can be vulnerable to the unfounded whimsy of chaotic hallucinational fanatics!!! I have looked, I have seen, and I stand by my statement, that these are the terroristic accusations of insane fanatics and have neither sensible foundation, or cause of any further action by anyone, EXCEPT TO BE ON GUARD AGAINST ANY SUCH IDIOCY gaining any traction what-so-ever in the future... PLZ STAY SANE!!! Unfounded IDIOCY can cause such unfair consequences, and unsettle the positive foundations of our civilization. Real, verifiable, scientifically provable facts, should be the foundation of understanding, NOT whimsical, ethereal, illusory images created in some whacko's head. Let's value our fellow human beings rather than just abuse them through human laziness and apathy...
This was better than air crash investigation! You saved the paxes.
Wow - all things considered... fantastic landing
I have one also, love that plane :-) Beautiful part of the country. Lucky you had the AP in there, saved it for sure.
That was some advanced thinking there pilot! Just wow!
Stunning sites, stunning weather, excitement, happy ending... Nirvana! :o)
Dude - this is so me! “Wait, what ...... uhm, uh-oh!”. “Crap .... lemme think”.
I love it! Kudos and well done to create waypoints home!
This place is so beautiful
I have a handheld Ham Radio and a Motion activated paper towel dispenser. When I transmit at 1 watt of power 8 feet away the dispenser activates. RF can screw with unshielded electronics. Transmission towers can get to kilowatts of power. Something to keep in mind.
Had to Google where you were at. Didn't look like any place in Utah that I have ever seen. Beautiful
That was such a nice landing. Last time I did an APM autopilot landing it hit harder than normal. It broke the landing gear.
Thanks for the video I was debating between Dragonlink and Crossfire, was already leaning to the Crossfire due to the prices but now looks like it is a definite Crossfire. I have an R9 setup but, I want long range more than 2 miles and I do not trust the R9 with that distance.
I have been in your shoes before with lose of direct control and you handled it perfectly. Better than me actually I started to panic.
Good stuff!
Thanks
Great video.
well done!
I love your videos especially with autonomous fpv. Please fly that location again that you had radio issues. It was a beautiful flight.
That was beautiful and awesome
Nice save!
Well saved! I have moved away from Dragon link due to reliability issues.
For autolands a lidar makes them magical. Great save.
My guy, you found the fabled location of the proprietary microsoft xp wallpaper at 10:06
That was brilliant!
Thats some nice scenery.
Awesome video..
That's one of the moments when you literally want to hug that tiny brave autopilot module!
Built free flight models as a kid in the 60's. Took up hang gliding late in life but not for long. Found out my old body is unsuited for learning how to fly hang gliders. Then, I bought a Night Radian......Then, I learned about FPV!!!! I had no idea it could be used on glider. Totally lost my marbles. I came here seeking to learn more about FPV and stumbled across your most excellent video. I have an HG friend who flies Steptoe Butte and Tekoa and produces lots of videos. Where's my drool cup?
wow this is a fifty-minute drive from Gonzaga, I might go sometime!
A brown pant moment for sure. Epic save indeed 👍
I love your videos. Thank you for making them. What would you recommend to get started in the use of telemetry and eventually autopilot? Could you make a video going over the parts needed and basics for setup?
Nice Job
