You should make a fpv kit that has everything needed for the rtf version of the plane and a manual. It would sell like icecream on a hot day. I just bought the rtf version and cant wait to fly it!!!

[@TedWoodYourMentor]

Thank you for the copious detail. We need more of that kind of explaination.

[@DaveMerc]

I usually put in as many details as I can for reference later. Thanks for watching!

[@TheAdkFlyer10]

Nice vid Dave! Another inspiring FPV build! 👍

[@DaveMerc]

I just can't quit! That was cool seeing Brian B. with ITTD.
I think the FAA created the corona virus to stop old men with their RC airplanes ;-)

[@TheAdkFlyer10]

I think you may be on to something Dave! 😁

[@chrisleech1565]

Nice looking FPV rig Dave. I do admire your instant air field arrangement there :-) I have been out of the loop for a while. Trying to play catch up with my three quads this spring time permitting and also get back into iNav.
Hope you are well.

[@DaveMerc]

Thanks Chris. I just managed to squeeze that FC and GPS in there and it's doing great picking up the sats. I am doing well for an old man but I can still complain, in fact I am even better at it now :-)
Chris, iNav has really improved a lot especially with the instant profiles that pop in the settings. You should give it a try. Thanks for watching!

[@lasersbee]

Nice detailed build info Dave. Waiting for the flight footage...;-)

[@DaveMerc]

Thanks, I am working on some flight testing footage for next week. I think I will be doing Auto Trim and Auto Tune and to get more views I will add a pinch of trend by giving me rc thoughts on the corona virus.

[@JamesDowningFPV]

Good looking build Dave! Nicely done video. One thing I was thinking about your FPV camera, is since its angled down you'll need to pay more attention to your artificial horizon. My friend mounted his camera pointed down like that too, and he never realized he was flying around with his nose in the air, since we tend to automatically level the horizon to the center of the camera field of view. I still love that graphical OSD. Really solid looking build.

[@DaveMerc]

I sent you a email with this video link of the flights but here it's again in case you missed it.

[@DaveMerc]

Oh, the FPV camera down tilt is normal for me. I like to get more of the ground in the picture. Like 1/3 sky is good for me .

[@jimmcminnsr6309]

Good Morning young man, great video. now let's go fly.

[@DaveMerc]

Top of morning to you lad! Let's get those props spinning and mouth grinning. Are you ready for spring?

[@jimmcminnsr6309]

@@DaveMerc yes sir I'm so ready for spring. Can't wait. Trying to do all the honeydews so I can be outside. No more in house stuff. It's called cabin fever. I'm running a high temperature. I guess that Flight Festival is about to get underway. Wouldn't it be cool to go. It's way too far for me to go. To bad they couldn't have it in the Midwest somewhere. I'm trying to finish up the master bathroom, painting. Been on that project for a week now. Don't understand why I have to go to the store, why can't she go? That's a question I always ask myself. Why me. Oh well I guess it's apart of being married.

Excellent video! Gives me ideas for my Esky Eyas Eagles (identical model but without the Spectrum Rx). I have removed the little platform in mine, giving a lot more room for electronics, and constructed a 120 x 60 x 15 mm platform which slides in over the servos and rods, giving a big space for stuff under the upper (FC) floor (no need to cut the side panel). The FPV camera location you have is brilliant! I hadn't noticed the little vent there (it's pretty useless as a vent, anyway, blocked by the nosegear). I'm waiting for calm weather to fly it LOS, but I'm planning the FPV for it. I'm very tempted to use an F405-Wing on Arduplane together with a Raspberry Pi Zero W and LTE ... the LTE approach looks very attractive for digital HD FPV video and avoiding messy VTx and UHF gear (e.g. th-cam.com/video/OIarpIdFzqE/w-d-xo.html ), with Mission Planner as the ground station visual interface (HUD PFD + MFD), the MP OSD being about the nicest there is (and perfectly clear since it is ground-based using telemetry data and not analog video). Pitlab is great (made where I live), but I think the hardware is too big for an Eyas and one still needs to do 433/1.2 RF stuff for an analog HUD. The LTE approach can retain 2.4 for LOS takeoff and landing phases, given that latency could be an issue. A second HD camera is not needed, since the FPV camera will already be HD; the result would be a very clean plane and a laptop or tablet as the GS (possibly with the help of a smartphone in my pocket ;-).

[@DaveMerc]

All good ideas you have come up with. I would like to see the finished result when you get done. Sounds interesting. Good luck!

[@GhostRyderFPV]

How'd I miss this? The AeroScout is a cool plane, (maybe a little "Chonk", but in a good way), perhaps the result you'd get for asking Tonka to design a plane. I'm curious to know, why go with Horizon's AeroScout for your iNav build rather than an identical ESky Eagle, which lacks the AS3X/Safe electronics? Great to see you're holding firm to the iNav bug, I've thrown FC's into 6 planes so far - Omnibus F4 Pro's litter the floor of my man-cave, thanks to my other hobby of Kwad Smashing - and won't order a plane without considering an FC.
Thanks for taking the time and effort to put these videos together, hopefully more people will find what a great (and easy!) addition iNav is to their plane.

[@DaveMerc]

Thanks for posting! The reason I got Horizon's version was because the China vendors had no Eskys in stock so I got the AeroScout locally from a hobby shop. It flew great with the AS3X but like you I have to have a real FC with GPS and FPV capability. It's just my thing I guess because of my electronics background.

[@GhostRyderFPV]

@@DaveMerc The electron's flow through this old Navy tech, too. I think that's why my quads sit dormant these days, because the draw of iNav conversions on planes - fun, rewarding, yet challenging stuff. I look forward to your next left-fielder - maybe you'd be interested in my current addiction, mini Li-ion iNav builds! (Dart 250, Mini AR Wing, Mini Surfer, and a converted Delta Ray)

[@staydown.normal5323]

I 'am doing this build i have a matekf411 already and im going to use it in the aero, and im using crossfire micro v3

[@staydown.normal5323]

thankyou for th ez channel layout im binding to my tx16s radiomaster mulit protocal

[@difand1]

Nice detailed video! May I ask you a question? Why did you replace you spectrum receiver with another one? I am asking because I try to use spectrum receiver with brain radex and have a problem: the FC doesn't see my receiver. So, may be it doesn't work with brainfpv/INAV? Thanks

[@gilmoregibson9184]

How much range can you get with the stock transmitter?? It's the DXe I think

Hey can you do a vid showing how to set up fpv

[@DaveMerc]

Are looking for something specific or general?
