- Narrated Long Range FPV - 12.0km Lake Cruise (FPV Record) Airplane Setup & Flight
This video covered my current FPV Record Flight of 12.02km (previously 10.8km) with the HD Footage only, unfortunately forgot to plug in the splitted signal-connector from the video transmitter to the DVR module inside the aircraft.
The flight was covered on a very calm day with the intention to fly some patterns and test the VAS Cannon Antenna - After the takeoff, I decided to push the range and immediately changed my course into a slight head-crosswind. Surprisingly the km's kept coming and signals kept solid - Until the 6th km, I experienced the helical antenna of the transmitter to be aimed a bit to the side and saw the RSSI changing numbers. Until I stood and aimed correctly, the RSSI resumed to it's 99% indication.
The videosignal showed it's first signs of snowy feed around 8.5km and kept getting progressively worse but not that much - everything was still solid and would sometimes get better when I aimed my goggles into my direction of flight until a certain angle would show perfect video again.
The VAS Helical Antenna came in for about 50$ and is worth every penny. I was surprised I didn't need an AAT since the helical is so strong on standard goggle's!
After reaching the 10km's I decided to push it to the 11 before returning to home but within a couple moments, I reached 11km's and found it flying so well to push it even further to the 12th km which everything held up great but the battery (4S 5000mAh)
With the current battery, it's total flight distance is (unoficially) aimed to be between 25-30km, which indicates I had to turn back pretty soon if I want to land it without potential battery damage (drain) - and I did, observing the voltage at 14.8V (50-53% left) - When observing the 12.0km indication on the OSD, I gently banked the aircraft into the wind and cruised it back with a slightly higher throttle input (to be around 5-7A), maintaining altitude and higher speeds which averaged between 63-67km/h.
On the last hundreds of meters, I recorded it's arrival and low passes before loitering for clearance and landing it safely. - บันเทิง
Very impressive young man, Congratulations on your new Record. My father used to say to me " If it was easy son every one would do it " I've been flying rc planes for 35 years with a 25 is year break to run a small business and raise a family and I just want to say that this has been the dream for all of rc pilots. To install a camera an fly from the view in the model. Now technology has come along and allowed this to become a reality with added safety of flight controller and GPS return to launch... Brilliant. Well done. I'm living vicariously through you and your posts. Thank you.
I gave up aeromodelling in the early ‘70s. Fifty years later I am back with a vengeance!
My scale rubber-power models now fly for over a minute (if only I could have done that when I was a kid!)
I’ve cracked r/c. Now I have got some basic fpv equipment and a Matek fc, and have just started building my first autonomous model.
This is the stuff of my childhood dreams, and I can’t wait to make it a reality!
Cheers!🍻🫡
Applause 👏 nice to see you break you previous record. I just did the same and created a new record of 26km out and back.
Congrats! What type of plane have you got?
@@dominiq4343 I am using a AR wing 900, with a 4s 6100mah give me an hour flight with reserve, Elrs radio control link and 5.8ghz video. Personal record is 16.1 miles or 26km out. So 52km round trip.
You are my inspiration bro i made the same plane myself a week ago but I did some modifications and the plane really flies so good that me and my father are really happy about it
That’s awesome man, please send photos or videos to my IG (aerostuff.fpv) Would love to see it
Awesome! Would you mind share it with me as well? Im also one of many EA's style plane builder.
@@dominiq4343 share your IG
Love your videos. Looking forward to your next build! You should see how far you can get with a sub 250g foamboard build. I'm flying a modified FT mini scout and I've gotten out 1.2km so far, and I'm hoping to beat that record again soon! Right now my limiting factor is just the confidence in the plane lol.
Very cool!
Neat that it flys so smoothly
I wonder if it could carry a payload, such as a cheap Baoefeng UV-5R and be used to send radio signals (APRS)
Keep em coming!!!!
Wouldlove to see a hardware build video sometime in the future. A walk thru of integration and setup.
Congrats! Flying above lake is really risky and i see you really trust your plane. I can't image losing it all...
Стабильный полёт, мне нравится его устойчивость. Добавьте инфо на экран. Интересно следить за потерями питания. Удачи🎉
Awesome build thank you so much for great inspiration, definitely I will be starting my first UAV with your model.
Keep me updated !
CAN you make a video about how you learned this kind of stuff !! that would be helpful !
OUTSTANDING. Congratulations on your record. Love your videos. Just got a stack of foam board. I’ve got to try this. Keep up the good work and good luck as you go further.😊
Cool and Beautiful as always ❤❤👌👌
If you were to add a gimbal for the camera, what kind of gimbal with what features would you look for? Is there a way to stabilize such a gimbal on a point while the plane circles that point? Also how much would it increase the system complexity?
Very nice! What did you use as the magneto? Does the gps come with one inbuilt?
Hey man... love your projects.. but there is something i have been seeking for on youtube which i have not found yet. hopefully you can make a video of it... i want you to explain how you setup and plan autonomous flights via arduplane firmware. i would be happy if you can make a video of it
Love it! Youve definitely inspired me to build my own fpv plane. Can you if you haven't already go in depth on the camera and other gear you are using to make rgis fpv flight possible?
amigo voçê poderia ensinar a configurar e usar o Matek Mateksys-F405? em um video
Hey AeroStuff! I love your videos and plan on taking on a similar project, but for the life of me I cannot find a pre-made solution to mounting motors. I know I'd be well capable of designing and fabricating my own, but my workspace at college can't really accommodate sawing or drilling. I see you have the same (or very similar) motor mounts in your videos/builds so I was wondering if you might be able to share a distributer that sells them. Thanks for making awesome and informative videos they really make autonomous flight easier to get into!
Could you please share us information about DIY 11 Turn helical antenna and how to build it?
Thank you
Your channel is awsome! I'm thinking of making my own RC plane with autopilot. Are there any rules on how big you can make an RC plane?
Amazing video, where do i buy the foam board ?
Nice! 🎉 you inspired me to build a long range plane except I used a plastic baseball bat as the fuselage 😂
Damn you should make a video!
Very good work ! What was the wind speed during the flight ?
I'm planning to make this one for thesis project. The objective is reconnaissance and surveillance. How much is can I spend to build these stuffs from the scratch?
What do you think of FAA remote ID requirements ?
Awesome
Very good❤
Wow amezing ....
How high will it go?
I’m curious how much something like this would cost
Can it Carry payload
Cool
Faltou a telemetria
In my country, this project would not cost less than 3 thousand. It's unfeasible, because a great drone would cost less than that, how much did you spend on this project?
narrated flights are always good but i dont like seeing no osd...you should get yourself a walksnail setup...then you have both-hd video and a good looking osd xD
That was the idea - but (as mentioned in the video) forgot to plug a signal-lead into the onboard DVR Unit
i did 100 km with my 85 cc homade uav
Just post it on u r channel bro we would love to see it
ya i will post full build video@@KSPRAVIATIONS-lh3pk
Crazy range, congrats!
👌🏻
Have you considered the 21700 Li-ion batteries? A 10,000mah pack should weight similar to your current 50,000mah and give you double the flight time.
