  • Practicing precision aerobatics using open source head tracker by Cliff (dlktdr) and Motionsic BAG (BadAss Gimbal pan & tilt) in an E-flite Viper 90mm EDF jet. A short demo in the beginning shows how smooth, precise and fast the wireless head tracker works with Motionsic BAG to create immersive in cockpit FPV experience!

    Retired F-16 pilot here and I gotta tell you…WOW!! VERY VERY COOL!! Sitting here with a huge smile on my face as I watch this. 👍🏼😊
    Edit: I’m also seeing the advantage of having something like this for JTACs on the battlefield. They could provide their own mini-CAS.

      Glad to win the approval of a Viper driver😁! I honestly believe this is a very cost effective training platform for anyone that want to get realistic training in basic combat maneuvers and formation flying. Not for system simulation like DCS can provide, but intuitive stick and rudder competency. A fun pastime that trains essential skills. I have fitted reflector sight in the cockpit before, and with munitions could as you said provide mini-CAS. Maybe even something fun for cadets to do: th-cam.com/video/G5nRet-r62s/w-d-xo.html
      Ps. It’s also possible to have onscreen display of critical air data and attitude ladder like on F-16 HUD.

      I started on "control line" planes as a kid. That's where you stand and spin in place as your model plane with a gas engine and no throttle control flies in circles around you. All you do is control the elevator via two strings and hope the plane runs out of gas before you do. We could have never imagined something like FPV could ever exist! So cool.

    • @motionsic
      @motionsic  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      FPV is a different way of flying RC planes. It’s a equalizer, so to speak. It does not matter how big or expensive the RC plane is, once flying from the cockpit, the view is largely the same. And most RC flyers prefer looking at the planes from outside. And I do both fly cockpit view and line of sight view. Both are very satisfying. I love getting two uses from the same plane!

    Wow the tech on these R.C.s are getting so cool. They have come a long way from the model planes with the string controls that we had when I was a kid that only flew in circles and went up and down only. I remember flying them and getting so dizzy. For those who have never seen this type of plane this was in the 1970s 😂

    I'm a pilot and I was blown away by the reality of it. This is a new cost effective way to train fighter pilots that represents middle ground between pure simulation and actual flying. Its a way to safely develop skill but without eliminating all of the risk since the pilot is actually flying an aircraft and can actually crash the vehicle which costs money, but without the risk of physical injury to the pilot. Excellent demo; I am really impressed.

    • @motionsic
      @motionsic  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You get the point exactly! With real world consequence for crash and not just a reset button in a sim. Pilots would fly more realistically without taking reckless chances. It is more thrilling to fly and sense of accomplishment enhanced knowing one has flown a physical plane instead of just digital bits.

      I took a twenty year hiatus from RC, too for the same reasons. Ventured into full scale some in the mean time. Coming back full circle thinking flying head-tracking FPV in RC plane cockpit combines best attributes of both type of flying. You should give it a try. RC hobby is the only hobby where cost has gone down over time so has the ease to get into it.

      Don't get your expectations up this dude's set up is over $1000 ez. Have you flown fixed wings? These rc guys really make it look ez but they have many years experience and crashes.
      Flying fpv with a fixed camera is still fun you don't need head tracking (altho supper cool).
      Cheapest way to start is going to coast around $200 depending how you go.
      First do you want to fly fixed wing or a quad? Both are fun.
      I suggest the aeroscout from horizon. They make a big and small one depending on how much you want to spend.
      Then pick up a fpv head set from Amazon around 50~100 eachine makes decent ones for a good price.
      They make all in one fpv cameras but I find they burn up ez. For just a few more dollars they sell the camera and module.
      Just thinking about it his set up is probably closer to $2000.

    • @zombieregime
      @zombieregime ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually, funny thing, its thanks to mems technology and cell phones that sensors like accelerometers and radio technology has become so cost effective and readily available. Most of the time the hard part is writing the code to operate the system (though you can usually piece together most of it with git hub code). The sensors and radio link stuff is (for the most part) all plug and play with mostly standardized connectors.
      I remember when stepper motors and servos were like $20 a pop. Accelerometer ICs were massive, and expensive, if you could find a place that would sell them to a random civilian. This was also back when if you updated your GPS location faster than once every 10 seconds it was assumed you were designing an backyard ICBM....
      But yeah man, thanks to the tech explosion of the oughts and teens, I can get a hand full of sensors and motors for what a cheap crappy motor cost me when I was a kid! Of course antennas still seem to be a bit on the pricey side for the fancier designs. But considering the R&D and precision that goes into high frequency high bandwidth antennas and LNAs I suppose it makes sense....

    I started flying rc planes in 1956 in Michigan. I was at the field when they started experimenting with a stick operated proportional control box Tx. Before that we only had buttons to push. A five channel control tx had 10 buttons that came out in the late 50's , early 60's. When I first learned to fly my 3 ch Buzzard with a 12 pound tx that sat on the ground with a 15' antenna, I wished I could come up with an idea to fly the plane using an onboard camera like this. It's finally been done. Absolutely incredible. The weird thing is my name is also Cliff. Down River Radio Control Club.

      Glad to hear from an RC modeling pioneer Cliff! I started flying RC in 1990 in Texas. A few years later was fortunate to be exposed to full scale flying. The dream started then for me to imitate the full scale flying experience in RC planes. I just had to wait for video transmission tech to advance and miniaturize. The amazing thing is the execution of this concept is now simpler then everyone thinks. The goggles and camera system are from an aerial photography drone company. The head-tracking function actually uses the buddy-box function that has been common in RC for decades. Instead of assigning student transmitter flight controls, the master transmitter assigns gimbal channels control to the head-tracker, as simple as that.
      RC hobby equipment has gotten more affordable, capable, smaller as the years go by. It’s a great time to fly RC, both conventionally and in this new way. Cheers!

      @@motionsic Thx for your reply, Robert. Another interesting thing that really caught my eye with this head tracking setup u have, is that I worked on the original concepts of military head tracking helmets with iris tracking back in the early 80's. This was science fiction back then and extremely expensive. I'm not going to say what flight vehicle it was, but it was cancelled and rebooted 3 times to try and get the cost down. Now it is finally up and running by advancements in tech we didn't have back then. So when I see how simple this rc setup is and how inexpensive it is, it is absolutely amazing.
