Was it hard to match the speed? Seemed like you kept gaining on Joey. Looked like you ran out of battery at the end? Nice save. So many close calls. GREAT video!!!!
Matching speed is still a little tough, I'm new to FPV and appreciating the amount of coordination it takes for both pilots. Once Joey slowed down it was a little easier to join up. Yes, I ran out of battery on the downwind. Chasing another EDF burns more battery than I expected.
@@yatyasmf I got head tracking, but have yet to program it and use it. I have so much FPV stuff including plane tracking long range antenna. LOL I need to get back into it. Love my GPS return to home on my Bixler 3. I can go until my radio loses link and it just comes back. But long range gets boring really quick. Some of my best FPV has been with my micro Radian up and down my street or in parks flying under trees and such. Love that stuff. Even if I hit something, it usually has very little damage at all. But you have to mind windy conditions more so with the little guys.
wow! hey, r the hornet real jet powered? the hornet is the one i dink is the one this model plane is chasing. No photo of this camera plane so i don't knw if this one is also a non-propeller model either.
@@yatyasmf Thx 4 ur clarification. So there is no real jet used for model planes. Dat make sense as the jet engine needs tremendous amount of air compression to turn the turbine on then to compress much more on the 2nd turbine where LARGE amount of air is compressed, then mixed w fuel for ignition which generates powerful gas. I don't dink these operation can b realized in a small slow moving model. The real jet engine must also use mat'l to withstand the hi temp and pressure. Yet, i'm still in awe for the model simulation of the jet engine as the propeller must b tiny to fit the rear pipe, yet powerful nuf to propel the model. Yet, there r diesel engines made for model cars and even a real working Diesel-Electric engine for 1/32 scale model live diesel locomotive! A Diesel engine requires high piston compression vs. gasoline engine for the hi compressed air temperature itself ignites the air-fuel mixture. But not hi pressure as the jet engines. Cheers from 1/32 and 1/19th scale live steam locomotive enthusiast. No electric motor faky cylinders and faky valve timing gears like the electric steam outline models. Real fire breathing, hot steam breathing monster models on blue steel rails.
Awesome
Nice footage! Who was flying the hornet?
Joey
hawk tuah

Both planes are powered by electric ducted fans (EDF). I'm not sure what makes the F-18 model is, the chase is an FMS BAE Hawk.
