Thank you Robert for all the info and assistance on the phone with me. Wealth of knowledge and great information.

Ah i wish you posted this last week! I just got my viper 90mm setup with this configuration, now to wait for Trabuco to re-open.. thanks for posting this video, super helpful.
@@jacoblanglois Nice! Glad to know Trabuco Flyers field escaped the fire’s destruction. And also good to know there’s a group starting to fly FPV together.
Im getting into fpv, this is very helpful. I have bought everything that you have except to power everything progressiveRC sells a device called the o3 armer. You plug your battery into it and it powers the fan and o3 camera and also gives the camera a signal to allow it to go to full power.
@@motionsic just one more question: Can I plug one lead of the RC Switch directly into the 6S battery and then plug the other lead into the 6S to 12V Ubec input? And the 12V output from the UBEC powers the DJI O3 and also the Fan , am I right? Thanks in advance, Best.
having a hard time deciding what plane to start with using FPV. I fly all types of EDF's and large prop foam planes. I'm thinking about a large cub or RV-8, what would you recommend, like larger scale rc planes, Just getting interested in FPV and I love your channel. Thanks
@@stark1758 I recommend a big prop/ tricycle plane with long moments for good/realistic flight behavior. Tricycle so you can see the runway easily for ground handling. Prop plane so there’s sufficient flight time to get acclimated to FPV flying before attempting to land the plane on the first flights.
Does the direction your head/goggles is /are facing when you power everthing up determine the camera's forward position? How do you get the camera to face forward when your head is facing forward, regardless of your actual orientation relative to the aircraft?
There’s a center button on the head-tracker. Always recenter - zeroing out the tracker signal before activating the gimbal before flight. Then after flight is finished, always deactivate the gimbal before taking the goggles off your head. It’s part of a pre-flight and post-flight checklist to ensure successful flight and equipment longevity🙂
Such a great tutorial. Thanks for that. I have a question, I thought the goggles 3 have an IMU embedded or I am mistaken? Why not getting the heading tracking directly from them? Is that even? possible?
I am an experienced RC pilot on fixed-wing and gliders. Not flown an EDF jet. Do you recommend the one you used in the video...seems to fly well? And yes, this would be even more realistic in a turbine jet with an on-board microphone. Ultra-realistic with that turbine sound from the cockpit.
I would not recommend this Freewing Zeus 90mm as a first EDF jet - landing speed is high, flight time is short. The Freewing T-33, L-39, Avanti S 80mm are better choices as first jet. Or the new FMS Avanti 90mm, if you prefer a bigger jet: th-cam.com/video/uJyyD0hP7Vs/w-d-xo.html
@@motionsic Thanks. Have you flown any of the Horizon (e-Flite) jets? They are more popular up here, and I was looking at their Viper 90mm, which is supposed to fly well
@@technoxtreme178 I love the Viper 90 and have actually setup two of them for FPV, one for myself and another for my son so we can do formation flying. In fact a Viper flight video is what really catapulted my channel: th-cam.com/video/N5cBKmFZ6Lo/w-d-xo.html I don’t recommend it as a first jet because it can tip stall if flown too slowly or pulled too hard in maneuvers. But if you get used to its behavior in LOS flight first and know its limits. Then it’s a solid pick. I’d pick it as one of my favorite planes all around. Just not as the first FPV plane.
@@motionsic thx. I agree, I need to know speed range and LOS handling of anything I want to convert. And a spotter is a must for this up here in Canada in order to be tolerated at our clubs and comply with TC (our version of the the FAA)

www.faa.gov/newsroom/drones-and-weapons-dangerous-mix I think you're fine as long as the projectile weapon is not capable of causing serious bodily harm. FlightTest has posted videos where they have shot plastic pellets from a plane I think...
Using an airsoft set up would be the way to go. Bbs are light and pack a punch. The airsoft industry has so much that custom BB cannons can be made with off shelf parts. Airsoft falls in a different category than Bb guns
can u please make a video of how to arm the o3 air unit the way you doit.. i have to connect a speedy-bee 405 wing next to my receiver and power the two. this takes space in the cockpit. can u please make a video on how to wire and arm the o3 in a easier way.
I don’t arm the O3 per se since I have not used a FC nor an Arduino armer board. I just turn off the auto lower power state from Goggles 2 Settings menu. It gives me clear visuals for flying at our RC field albeit not getting “full” transmission power.
@@motionsic wow i never knew this because i was always told that the range was limited to a fraction of the actual range and made it practically un usable. I will test it next time at the park.
@@omarivan5362 yeah, in low power state the frame rate sucks and it’s not flyable nor recordable. Full transmission power allows supposedly 10km range. I hardly fly over 1km or at most 2 at typical RC field. So not really an issue for me not getting full power.
It looks like Rob is using a 12V 50mm x 50mm x 10mm DC fan on his Zeus. I can tell beacause I have a Zeus too and measured the part where his is installed. There are may options and the size of fan depends on your plane and where you're going to put the fan. Defintely dont go smaller than 40m, 50 is good, and you could use whatever DC voltage you have available. 5V or 12V, for exapmple.
@@polyscient You are correct on the voltage part. Use 5V fan if powering from spare receiver channel. 12V if sharing power from UBEC to power air unit - fans use like 0.1 amp. I used 40x40 fan in this case.
Hello brother, I bought a SU-57 RC plane from Cults to print (1.5 meters long). Do you think I will be able to do the same with it once I finish printing it? Please help me out. I also bought the F-15 from Cults (it’s also 1.5 meters long), and I'm almost sure I can use FPV with that one, just like you did. But I’m having some doubts about the SU-57 and its the plane I most want to print and fly. Please, help me
Yeah. The Su-57 is plenty big to make it FPV capable. Just need to shift the flight battery back some to get correct CG range with the added FPV equipment weight in the cockpit.

Cool Video! But it seemed like you only conected the Power for the O3, that way you're only getting a fraction of the actual output power. You can get up to 1,2W of Power, but in this config only >25mW. You can use a seeeduino "hack" to emulate a flightcontroller to maximise the output power.
If you use an RC Switch make sure you set failsafe to ON or HOLD for that channel in your radio system. Otherwise if there is a brief loss of RC signal, the FPV system will turn off and you will lose video signal.
Also make the switch very hard to accidentally turn off on your transmitter. On my FrSky I programmed a logic switch using two toggle buttons. If both buttons were off for 5 seconds the switch would turn off, but there was an audio warning when it was disarming.

@@Hattinchannel you need add flight controller with GPS module, like in this video, but with more telemetry information displayed: th-cam.com/video/pmtZjKZJaKM/w-d-xo.html
Why not just tap a 6S lipo to power the air unit directly? I have never considered using a UBEC to power my air unit. Usually i just use a UBEC to power an Arduino Arm circuit to make the air unit go into high power mode, increasing its power consumption from 10 to 13W. Personally I never fly FPV without a separate battery now. I use a 1500mAh 3S pack for my receiver and FPV gear with a UBEC for the reciever, and my air unit is powered directly from the 3S battery.
Having a separate controls power battery saved my Freewing F-22 once, when the terribly made BenchCraft EC5 2 to 1 Series Adapter melted apart after 3 minutes of full throttle on 8S. It went dead stick but I still had FPV and control, and landed. Never use that blue box peice of junk Motion RC sells to make two packs into one. Always use a wired Series connector. Inside the Benchcraft peice of garbage is a 12GA wire soldered sideways onto the thin edges of the connector cups. It should have 8 to 10 GA inserted into the cups and filled with solder. They built it to fail.
Sure the O3 air unit is capable of handling 6S. But I used the 12V UBEC to power the OG Air unit which was limited to 2S~4S voltage and never had any issues. And since the 12V UBEC only weighs 5 grams, I much prefer the weight savings this way vs carrying a separate 3S battery to power the air unit and worrying about the state of charge on the separate battery. The Arduino Arm circuit is a nice add.
Hi pilots, I have a question,You guys use the magnetometer? because my head tracker some times starts drifting and I’m thinking on turning it off and try only with the sensors any advice?
@@ronygarcia8079 which firmware version are you using? If you are using V2.21, it WILL drift. We use V2.13 and the magnetometer to make sure it does not drift over time. If you are using the correct firmware. Make sure you do make magnetometer calibration properly.

@@motionsic .... No.... I've seen a RC fighter jet in stereoscopic 3D video on TH-cam before. They installed stereo cameras on pilots head. You can even see his hands on the control. This must have been more than a decade ago..
I just want to be able to BUY a RTF FPV airplane or heli as easily as I can buy a FPV Drone. Whoever makes that, and allows you to choose from models of the F22, F35, F16, F18 or any other popular fighter, will be RICH.
Understand your yearning. But those would be difficult for a FPV noob to fly successfully. And if too easily achievable, you bet an idiot would fly it into a building somewhere and ruin the hobby for everyone. So not sure any manufacturer/vendor would want that kind of liability. The riches you mentioned could easily be lost in lawsuits….
@@motionsic There are already laws against RC and Drone aircraft. If someone buys them and misuses them,, they are at fault. Not the company that made them.

@@Hattinchannel SpeedyBee Wing 405 was used in the video. Matek 405 is good also.
Why not just tap a 6S lipo to power the air unit directly? I have never considered using a UBEC to power my air unit. Usually i just use a UBEC to power an Arduino Arm circuit to make the air unit go into high power mode, increasing its power consumption from 10 to 13W. Personally I never fly FPV without a separate battery now. I use a 1500mAh 3S pack for my receiver and FPV gear with a UBEC for the reciever, and my air unit is powered directly from the 3S battery.
Having a separate controls power battery saved my Freewing F-22 once, when the terribly made BenchCraft EC5 2 to 1 Series Adapter melted apart after 3 minutes of full throttle on 8S. It went dead stick but I still had FPV and control, and landed. Never use that blue box peice of junk Motion RC sells to make two packs into one. Always use a wired Series connector. Inside the Benchcraft peice of garbage is a 12GA wire soldered sideways onto the thin edges of the connector cups. It should have 8 to 10 GA inserted into the cups and filled with solder. They built it to fail.
Sure the O3 air unit is capable of handling 6S. But I used the 12V UBEC to power the OG Air unit which was limited to 2S~4S voltage and never had any issues. And since the 12V UBEC only weighs 5 grams, I much prefer the weight savings this way vs carrying a separate 3S battery to power the air unit and worrying about the state of charge on the separate battery. The Arduino Arm circuit is a nice add.
Hi pilots, I have a question,You guys use the magnetometer? because my head tracker some times starts drifting and I’m thinking on turning it off and try only with the sensors any advice?
@@ronygarcia8079 which firmware version are you using? If you are using V2.21, it WILL drift. We use V2.13 and the magnetometer to make sure it does not drift over time. If you are using the correct firmware. Make sure you do make magnetometer calibration properly.
@@motionsic thanks for the info, and by the way I just received my ARMS and mounted on my Futura just waiting for the maiden it looks awesome 😎
I’m using V2.2 😅
@@ronygarcia8079 V2.2 is the root of the problem😂
@@ronygarcia8079 it’s in GitHub under 2.1, assets. Or if you are on PC, click on the pasted link below to download:

Yall see the video I did on my 64mm f14 build featuring the BAG with full pan and tilt in the cockpit?
@@spidersugar_fpv I just saw the whole video. Very informative and engaging. I thought the cockpit of the 64mm F-14 would be too tight with the landing gear-well underneath. You’re the man and pulled it off. One suggestion, trim down the foam instrument panel and put a photo printout of real F-14 instrument over it. You can make a lot more awesome content with the F-14 Tomcat - the sexiest plane ever!
@motionsic sadly I don't have a 3d printer, but I do have an osd screen I'm going to put in there (displays iNav osd basic elements on oled) to spice it up a bit XD, also thanks for watching xoxo yall rule!
Is it possible to use htc vision vr googles? They already got head tracking built in.
@@mich_kub2219 The short answer is no. The main problem comes from the video transmission. What’s going to be sending video to your HTC VR goggles?
@motionsic True... Well maybe DJI is making a device to receive the video signal and convert it to a display port signal one day. That would be nice. But thanks for the answer.
what kind of servo tester? Thanks
ToolkitRC ST8 Advanced Multi-Servo Tester
Why isn't that stereoscopic camera with 3D goggle?
@@dokkiro would be too bulky for the cockpit with two cameras human eye distance apart, right?
@@motionsic .... No.... I've seen a RC fighter jet in stereoscopic 3D video on TH-cam before. They installed stereo cameras on pilots head. You can even see his hands on the control. This must have been more than a decade ago..
what does the UBEC do?
Supply 12V power from 6S bats
@@motionsic OK I didnt understand it until I watched a few videos. I get it now. Looking forward to getting the sight, and the gimbal soon
how do the reflactor hud work？
Collimating reflector sight with parallax free reticle. No telemetry information displayed.
What Rc plane is this?
Freewing Zeus 90mm EDF jet. Looks a bit like F-20
I just want to be able to BUY a RTF FPV airplane or heli as easily as I can buy a FPV Drone.
Whoever makes that, and allows you to choose from models of the F22, F35, F16, F18 or any other popular fighter, will be RICH.
Understand your yearning. But those would be difficult for a FPV noob to fly successfully. And if too easily achievable, you bet an idiot would fly it into a building somewhere and ruin the hobby for everyone. So not sure any manufacturer/vendor would want that kind of liability. The riches you mentioned could easily be lost in lawsuits….
@@motionsic There are already laws against RC and Drone aircraft. If someone buys them and misuses them,, they are at fault. Not the company that made them.
is it usd?
@@IanChen-m1o yes.
Sooo.. after all.. Let say I have nothing of all. No RC plan, no DJI goggles, cam, gimbal.. etc... how much would it cost to build up the whole system new. All together?
$2500
@@motionsic hm...you are going to make me having problems, telling my wife, why I had to spend 2.500 for a "toy" :D
Now we just need eye tracking for AR telemetry and control systems
Can't it be cheaper?
How much to build me one? lol
