Great footage Adam love the location rock steady video anytime you come my way (Canada ) look me up ill take you to some amazing locations keep them coming take care
Thanks :) yeah they probably wondered what was going on :P most people that come up to me when I'm out there are very friendly and very interested/impressed with all the gear.
Adam G does FPV that’s good that people are like that some can be quite bad, if I’m ever flying and people approach me and start asking questions I just hand them my goggles and let them see for themselves. Get them to love it to 👍🏽😁. good work mate.
One of my favourite flying spots, which I don't go to often enough. Because it's in the mountains you usually get turbulent weather so you can expect to be chucked about, but the DJI camera makes it very watchable, without loosing the feeling of being onboard a fixed wing :)
Thanks Hein :) the landing was hard with the wind direction, lack of good surface to land on and lack of space, turned out OK however i did finally break the rear fin with that one. Not too surprising. Just switched to this FPV camera and I love it, very impressed with it!
Hi, if you look in the video description there are links to the parts I use. The Talon GT is basically ready to fly out of the box, and if you want see my setup check this video here: th-cam.com/video/mzQaukbYoKA/w-d-xo.html and the details on the autopilot here: th-cam.com/video/gkmKCFVGBwM/w-d-xo.html
Don't give up on the MD its a great plane and there's probably a reason for the trouble you're having. Talon GT is very different, nowhere near as fast but more efficient and a fun little cruiser.
Yeah the IAA have jurisdiction everywhere in Ireland :P confused me when you put CAA haha :D I've been enjoying these mountains for years and will continue to for many more :) Up there all the time and never seen a Tucano. Anyway, I'm not above 400ft so no issues here.
Hi, and thanks. I decided to go with the high gain Pepperbox to suit my style of flying. I love flying medium range but at low altitude. As you're probably aware, the pepperbox doesn't fit on an AAT so I have a new ground station (video on my new GS here: th-cam.com/video/gNXeswKjmmQ/w-d-xo.html). Cheers
Hey do you know whats the minimum flying speed require for this aircraft??. Or whats the stall speed, i have heard from lot of people that this aircraft requires high landing speed it doesn't glide well?? Is that true ...i recently purchased one for me.
It feels like it glides ok, but yeah it like a bit more speed than some models. Landing is normally fine, was just a little harder in this video due to location and conditions/wind direction. not sure exactly what the stall speed is tbh. You'll enjoy it though :)
It's true what everyone is saying, you fpv feed actually looks nicer than the hd footage! Does the lowered camera angle not bother you? If I had to skim the water like that I would probably dunk it or just keep lifting up. Great video, and next time go a bit closer to the cliff man! That BEPP can handle it ;)
Hi Shaun, I think the camera is angled down an average amount in comparison to other models and it’s never bothered me. If it was facing straight forward it’s not so nice flying with a little altitude as you can’t see much of the ground. There’s no doubt the Predator 4 is doing a fantastic job and the WDR is so good, but I think that this being better than the HD is just an illusion really because it’s on a much smaller part of the screen. The main reason I was being slightly caustics is that it was my first full flight with my new DJI camera on board, and I didn’t want to put that at risk over an area that’s so hard to access and would take me ages to recover. I think the DJI is worth almost as much as the plane and all of it’s gear haha. Cheers :)
@@AdamGdoesFPV It makes sense what you're saying about the camera angle. I just never go very high! And I'm with you 100% on the HD camera. I wouldn't want to trash something like that either. I recently dunked my S800 with my old GoPro Hero3 in the Indian Ocean, so I know it's not nice to loose that, let alone an Osmo or something similar! Please keep up the great vids! I was inspired by your 1.2G setup and got mine up and running. Used an arduino Uno with relay board to make my own diversity controller, and so far it's working great! Thanks for being informative and entertaining
Talon GT is my preferred model of the two for the following reasons: - Increased stability with having a tail - Slightly better thought out design. - Less likely to cause damage on non perfect landings
have you tried using 4s 4000++ battery in yours and see how much longer you could get? also was wondering how long would you be getting with your ZOHD Talon GT?
Hi, i've only been running 3,100mah to date, because I have nothing in between that and a 5,000mah. I might give that a go at some point but I fear it may be a little too heavy. I bet 4000 woulnd be perfect though. I've not really done endurance flying, but i normally fly for around 20mins on 3,100 (but i do lots of WOT and changes of altitude etc.
@@BlindedByEvil yeah it's about getting the right balance for best efficiency. I'm not too interested in super long range with this model so flight time of 20mins is fine for me :) WOT = Wide Open Throttle.
One of your best flights Adam, you were just taking some brilliant breathtaking lines over the terrain, loved it bro! So you like that DJI osmo camera? What do you think compared to like the Hero 7 not sure if you owned one or just comparing footage on other people's videos what do you think? Thanks Rob
Cheers Rob, really appreciate the great feedback :D So i don't have a GP7 to compare to, BUT i did watch other reviews that compare the DJI to the GP7. I think in some cases people preferred the video quality in certain situations on the GP7, but the RockSteady feature (DJI) seemed to way outperform the Hypersmooth (GP7). Because this camera will be on fixed wing aircraft, I decided i valued the better stabilisation over the video quality (mostly because the DJI video quality is still brilliant!, better than any other action cam i've ever owned). Check out this video, but just watch 20 seconds of it, starting at the 30s mark. It shows a comparison of how well the stabilisation works on multiple cameras: th-cam.com/video/vMD8l4487Ps/w-d-xo.html
@@AdamGdoesFPV thanks for replying bro, yeah you make a good point since I fly fixed-wing but I also fly freestyle quads I really don't need stabilization on my freestyle quads but on fixed Wing I do plus DJI has always had the best stabilisation out of all the cameras I think I'm going to go for the DJI action camera plus online mini quads I like to use the Hero 5 since it's lighter. And that's a very good comparison in the video. One camera I did try because I wanted to keep the weight down was the Caddx Tarsier on my Goblin and also on my Nano Drak prototype you won't believe how great the stabilisation works for just $100 camera. Perfect for the smaller lighter fpv fixed-wing platforms. Anyway again thanks for responding and hope all is good on your side of the world, sorry for the late reply. Cheers Rob
@@rotormasher About a 40min drive from where I live, So i'm quite lucky. However, weather can be quite turbulent out there a lot of the time so it's a case of finding the right day

Ah, Canada would blow this location away! I'd love to do some flying over there! Cheers :)
@@AdamGdoesFPV Pretty happy about my own surroundings :) Cant wait to rip these mountains hard with the Rebel

What a location, okay I'm very jealous, there, I admit it....I see the onboard HD stabiliser was working overtime...

Nice, this could
Be my next build, maybe to replace the drak if my launching keep going bad.
Don't give up on the MD its a great plane and there's probably a reason for the trouble you're having. Talon GT is very different, nowhere near as fast but more efficient and a fun little cruiser.
Dream setup and flight vid! Bet this was a pure thrill to fly! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! It's fun to fly, especially when you get the right location and conditions :)
Nice flight and beautiful countryside.Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and commenting :D
Tinnehinch, Ireland. The IAA have jurisdiction here. Enjoy whilst you still can and watch out for low-flying Tucanos
Yeah the IAA have jurisdiction everywhere in Ireland :P confused me when you put CAA haha :D I've been enjoying these mountains for years and will continue to for many more :) Up there all the time and never seen a Tucano. Anyway, I'm not above 400ft so no issues here.
I have a Talon GT on the way from banggood, looking forward to flying it
I'll be interested to hear what motor it comes with. I think you'll enjoy this one :)
Great piloting and beautiful place! Stunning!
Cheers guys :D
Nice vid!

Hello can anybody tell me how he gets such a clear fpv video? Is it the camera? Is it the vtx or rx? Is it the dvr recorder?
Do you mean noise free? Or are you referring to how it stays clear when I fly further away?
Jellous of the location! That looks much better than the miles of crop fields I fly.
Thanks :) I do love this spot, about 45mins from where I live... can't believe I haven't flown there more often!
nice Location . Always good to see your new vid's .. !!!!!

Hello Adam G. Can you confirm if the CG is 10mm in front or behind the underwing mark.
Hi, sorry I've no idea as I no longer have this model. From memory there are CG balance bumps on the underside of the main wing?
@@AdamGdoesFPV Yes there are bump strips. Did you balance on them?
Great video. Where was this?
Thanks 😊 it’s Lough Tay in the Wicklow Mountain national park, Ireland.
How is this compared to the Dart XL?

Hi I was wondering if you could get away with trying a slightly different pitch on a prop? looking to try 8x6EP?
I'm running an 8x6ep APC prop since i got it :) works great
Max current draw on my last flight was 32a on full throttle, very safe on a 40a esc
