Adding to Don Roo's comment below. Would love to see some comprehensive videos on your builds, prices, considerations, any experience you can share for people who are dying to get into this hobby but are inundated with information overload. Let's see a motionsic masterclass! 🙂🙃🙂🙃
Thanks for the suggestion. Will put one together, soon. But really I keep my builds super simple. Head-tracking is simply using the trainer/buddy box function of transmitters to control two channels (pan & tilt) for the gimbals. And the head-tracker acts as the buddy box (but does not move the control surfaces). Simply install gimbal onboard and plug in the servos to two spare (assigned trainer) channels on receiver and power on the camera. That’s the gist of it.
Very very nicely flown Robert, very enjoyable to watch, your low pullouts in the dive had me worried, but beautifully executed, and I'm so jealous of your flying site and weather!!
Great to see you keep uploading stuff. I started FPV with drones and it is very easy to add airspeed and altitude onto the goggle. Unless you already know, I'll let you know early next year. I'm still playing with airplane flight computer which is similar to drone FC but uses different program. A bit of learning curve. Will test fly as soon as weather gets better.
I would be super interested in seeing footage from the ground (recorded by someone else obviously haha) … I bet it’s smooth like butter! Very very cool!
You and a buddy should mount pellet guns and balloons with colored powder inside on the planes and have a dog fight. First to bust opponent’s balloons wins!!! Guarantee a million views lol! If I had the money I’d do it and have tournaments, TOP GUN style!
This is awesome! If you add the eflite payload release modules to your viper jet and fit them with a capacitor from motion rc on each one you could have an attack drone!
@@motionsic without the capacitor connected to a y cable it will struggle to get enough voltage to the release mechanism. I put it on my F16 and it worked flawlessly until i crashed it haha.
Amazing flight. I’ve come to really enjoy your channel and it’s sparking my interest into rc flying again. Questions for you- is the camera here the actual cam you’re seeing through your HMD? I take it the HUD has some pertinent info and I would really like to see it. Does it have altitude, airspeed and voltage?
Thanks for the encouragement! The video I see in the goggles (HMD) is crystal clear just like this video. To be specific, the goggles display resolution of 720P 120fps while recorded video is 1080P 60fps. However, some compression happens while uploading to TH-cam and not all video is displayed at 1080P unless specified on settings. What you refer to HUD is OSD-on screen display telemetry information. I don’t have any of that. One can add those by using a flight controller with OSD, GPS, and pitot tube to get the info you want. I fly my planes both LOS and FPV and found that I don’t need telemetry to fly safely. So just keeping my build simple and enjoy🙂
I just got a dji goggle and ordering a caddx vista to run on my rc planes as well. How did you power yours. I was gonna run a jst plug to the camera unit plug in a 3s 300mah lipo
The 3S 300 mAh Lipo works. I use a small BEC off the flight battery lead from ESC to supply 12V to air unit. The Vista can handle up to 6S. So you can just split small leads with a connector to power the vista.
Hi Alain, air unit onboard has sound recording. WTF OS hacked DJI V1 goggles so there’s actually real time audio transmission as well. good to hear from you again.
@@motionsic Amazing! you are smart! I regret not to have sound and OSD on DJI, as I get easily lost where I fly, with a lot of trees all around, and a non recognizable short sand runway, so I turned back to analogic for a while...and dispite this, had recently a problem with my RTH and lost my Viper70😒. Keep doing a good job, and make us dream!
I too am interested. I have some rc components (chargers/car batteries) but assume not everything would be compatible. Perhaps putting together a comprehensive video (before black friday 🙃) would be super helpful. Not for nothing too, idk if you have patreon or another means of accepting donations. While I personally don't subscribe/watch much of anything particular on TH-cam, having somebody summarize everything (parts needed/price/installation techniques/minimum transmitter channels/did you use software for training first before going edf/etc) or do a sort of mastercourse would, in my opinion, save me (and others) enough time in research etc to justify donating. Would be more than happy to support you helping to grow the rc community and help others build a similar setup. Best of luck to you and your channel and as always have fun!! 😎
@@michaelwells3544 plane ($600), transmitter with enough channels (+/-$500), single battery ($130), DJI goggles ($600), DJI air unit ($140), BAG gimble ($100), head tracker ($110). You will 10000% crash this plane if you do not have prior rc plane experience.
@@colinhealey6244 very helpful, thanks for that! Yeah definitely not looking to start on an edf, was thinking a trainer along the lines of the carbon cub for the time being, but obviously interested to know what I'm getting myself into and what's involved along the way. How many channels would you recommend? Ive seen various opinions (4 is enough, go 6 for room to upgrade, go 8 if you're in this for the long term). Not looking into helos, just fixed wing. Curious on your thoughts
@@michaelwells3544 Definitely find a simulator to fly on first or visit your local rc field and shadow someone. 4 channels will cover the basics (throttle, elevator, rudder, and ailerons) but most planes that are decently cool also have retracts and flaps and therefore would require a 6 channel. If you eventually want to FPV a plane you'll need an additional two channels for tilt and pan of the gimble that holds the fpv camera. So an NX8 or NX10 is not a bad investment. I recently got an NX10 on ebay for $450. Drones are different from helicopters though both use rotors. If you want the FPV experience a drone will be the cheapest route but will require a different protocol transmitter. Luckily, theres a lot more variety and competitive pricing than the monopoly eflite/spektrum have on planes.
With the terrain you have there, the hills and small valleys around there. I would love to make a similar course as to the film Top Gun Maverick. 😂 Fly close proximity to the ground, fly up the small mountain then upside down at the top into a steep dive to bombs away on the target. then the steep climb up and over the mountain face. 😅 if you have friends to compete with, see who can run the course the fastest.
Thanks for the suggestion. Indeed that would be super fun. I thought about that. We have to strategically position the pilots so the hills would not obstruct signals to and from the plane. We also have strict field boundary. The hills are actually off limits. Maybe at a different field.
@@motionsic How big does the rc plane need to be to get the full rotation of the gimbled camera for headtracker fpv? i cant seem to find any specs online
@@johnstosh6658 the gimbal needs 4cm diameter and 5cm tall of cylindrical space to fully move camera around above cockpit floor. The plane should have minimum of 40’ wingspan to behave smoothly. The bigger the better though.

You heard about childhood dreams, this is my adult dream. So good I watched it twice.
Yes it really is that simple..Even built a gimbal... What I really need is that reflect sight!!!
NOW THAT KOOL FLYING BETWEEN THE TREES
Thanks! Worth taking the risk sometimes to get the adrenalin going🙂
Very very nicely flown Robert, very enjoyable to watch, your low pullouts in the dive had me worried, but beautifully executed, and I'm so jealous of your flying site and weather!!
Impressive flying! It's like being in the real thing. You should set up a bomb release with something that can mark hits. Maybe a paint-filled "bomb".
Good suggestion, just about to do that😉
FTDS I am building one of these this week. 😃
Great flying once more.

great, great, great. In 6:41 I literally knew as a glider pilot that there's no chance reach the runway.
Thanks Piero. I have video working on dead stick landings. You will like that one😉
I would be super interested in seeing footage from the ground (recorded by someone else obviously haha) … I bet it’s smooth like butter! Very very cool!
Impressive setup and good flying!
Thanks! Cheers🙂
Extended Inverted flight via FPV - that looks like it takes some practice when flying low !
Yeah. I have 5 years experience flying head-tracking FPV, that still takes some getting used to too not feel intimidated by it.
Nice
Rad!!!

Great job AS USUAL GUYS! rEALLY LOVE YOUR FLYING SITE!
Thanks Bob for you continued support. Indeed we are fortunate to fly at such a beautiful field!
This is awesome! If you add the eflite payload release modules to your viper jet and fit them with a capacitor from motion rc on each one you could have an attack drone!
Thanks! What would be the purpose of the capacitor?
@@motionsic without the capacitor connected to a y cable it will struggle to get enough voltage to the release mechanism. I put it on my F16 and it worked flawlessly until i crashed it haha.

AWESOME….TOTALLY AWESOME !!!! I loved it !!! Too Cool.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻✌🏻
Thanks, cheers🙂
Still waiting for the day the reflex sight becomes available
Hear, hear🙂
Have you posted a link or video showing how to get the reflector sight?
Not yet.
wow awesome flying. what is the flight time?
This flight video was uncut, so 6 minutes flight time.
Where can I get that same reticle?
Got a 8s f22 that has fpv and would like to use for landing.
And it looks awesome!
Check back at Motionsic.com soon. Will release soon.

duuuuude vertical dive is so dangerous for a real bomber pla ne XDD seems terrorific on board
Was bending the wings on the pullout for sure!
@@motionsic i want it !
Nice! how do you have the sound of the motor with DJI ?
Hi Alain, air unit onboard has sound recording. WTF OS hacked DJI V1 goggles so there’s actually real time audio transmission as well. good to hear from you again.

Keep doing a good job, and make us dream!
What size battery are you running for this flight time?
Seems like forever for a 90mm
6S 6000mAh HRB battery. The Viper 90 is pretty efficient. And I don’t push full stick except for vertical maneuvers.
Your engine propeller its not enough to make impressive dive and roll.
True, it’s only an electric ducted fan powering the plane🙂
Which cammera is used
DJI FPV Air Unit
what jet do you use
E-flite/ FMS Viperjet 90mm.
Bro how much is a setup just like this one ?
Do you have existing RC plane equipment: RC transmitter, battery, charger etc?
I too am interested. I have some rc components (chargers/car batteries) but assume not everything would be compatible. Perhaps putting together a comprehensive video (before black friday 🙃) would be super helpful.

Ok let me send you my A10 and pay you to do a head tracking setup for me haha but fr
You can do it easily with the kits I provide, if you already do FPV.
Hello :)
Achtung!
Stuka!

Can I make this on the 70m jet
Yeah, plenty of room on the Viper 70 to pull this off. Even more sporty than the Viper 90🙂
@@motionsic can you make a tutorial? Pls there are no tutorials on how to make this
@@TACOMAN2355 yeah,next video
Beautiful! Must be great fun!
It was!
We really need to get on board altitude and speed. Good flying.
Hey Ross bud, how ya doing? Alright if you say so🙂
The proximity flying looks so cool! you should do a video on more of that!
Thanks for the suggestion. Will do soon. Stay tuned!
