As a RC pilot since the early 1990s I have to say what you are doing with this tech is a dream come true. We never could have imagined this would be available to the average consumer. I love this!
Thanks! Indeed this is a fulfillment of childhood dreams shared by many to become a fighter pilot inspired by movies like Top Gun. More thrilling then just flying a flight sim with some skin involved😊
@@theflyingrealestateagent2828 yeah, been putting that off for too long. But honestly, the reflex sight has become the primary instrument for landing, so airspeed is less critical now.
@@jay6817 Thank you! It certainly helps increase the options of enjoying RC flying from the realistic perspective, enabling close formation flying and dogfighting in an immersive way with reduced chance of collision.
Started designing, building and flying models in the 70's. I started FPV 20 years ago, 15 years with head tracking. It may have gotten off to a slow start, but it is good to see it progressing the way it is and that nowadays, people can just buy a system to do it. After building a system for a P-51 Mustang, I stopped flying 3rd person altogether. All of my planes are flown this way. Most people will never fly a real aircraft, much less a warbird, so FPV is the next best thing.
the 03 air unit is a game changer, the quality is so high now and you no longer need a separate camera to record with. I already have 3, one on my 5 inch quad. One I can swap between my rc car and boat, and one I still have to put in a glider.
DUDE! I was in aviation in the Navy. Do you realize the applications?? You could teach pilots how to fly without risking their lives or equipment damage. This is amazing!
@@etienne1455 that is certainly true for learning to fly. For thrills and entertainment value, having a little monetary skin in the game to have a RC plane physically fly and risk crashing, beats the reset button in a sim any day😉
It should be possible to render muzzle flashes and tracers inside the FPV view. If all the planes are data linked you could in theory do hit detection completely computationally
Recommendation: know that you don't need to see the plane from the ground...leave the field area. Head into the mountains...explore the world...would make a great video! Love what you're doing here. Great work!
@@shykmaster As much as I’d love to venture out of our field. We are bound by the agreement of the club with County Govt to keep all flying within our field boundary, and stay off the wildlife preserve surrounding our field. I’ll take your advice to venture out when not flying at this particular field…
Absolutely OUTSTANDING! Seriously, I've always wondered why I haven't seen someone try this before and if it has been done, I haven't heard about it until this very minute! I was into RC building and flying starting back in 1980. However, 'life happens' as they say, and by 1990 I had sold all my radios and gear. In fact, I regretted leaving the hobby because it was just as the RC community began seeing the availability of RC compressor Jet engines. Before they came out, RC jets used the ducted fan systems. Unfortunately, I had to drastically reduce my spending and never got back into it. Years later, Microsoft released MS FSX and I became a Flight-sim hobbyist from then on. But I've always kept a close eye on the RC hobby. I suppose I can afford to get back into RC planes again but I don't have many years left so I guess I'll have to be happy as a spectator on the bench. It appears that you've really nailed this down and I would like to see someone install this rig into a Large scale UH-60 helicopter! The RC helicopter is hard enough to fly from the outside but I wonder if it would be actually easier to fly the RC from inside the cockpit? Do you know of anyone who plans to try this on a chopper? Thanks again for the great Demo! Rich
@@richpaul8132 Thank you for your praise. Flight sim certainly is a good substitute for this type of RC FPV flying and vice versa. Indeed, there are people flying helicopter this way and this particular one use his rig to stay proficient at flying full scale helicopter: th-cam.com/video/3MNA3-3YPjw/w-d-xo.html
@@motionsic WOW! Thanks for the link. I went and checked it out right away and I’m just blown away! I'm sure that it won't be long before you FPV pilots manage to get some working instruments to display in the system, which would help with testing yourself in flight-instrument related conditions, (at night or in weather, etc.). Great video! In fact, I bet the time won't be long before someone applies this FPV RC technique to land on an RC aircraft carrier!! I think they'll probably need to have some instruments displayed to make it happen but it’ll be a serious accomplishment, (if not a serious and expensive risk if they get it wrong)!.
You can totally tell that is an older guy talking to you, first he thinks you are talking to him and doesn't know what vlogging is and second he doesn't like that you have the modern technology that he doesn't understand. Each time he says a safety violation was being made he was completely wrong because you were obviously clear. If he only had your perspective. BTW I am 50 and what you are about to do is absolutely wonderful. That is why I'm watching, so I can learn how to do it myself. Some old dogs can learn new tricks. Thanks for the content.
Glad you understand the situation. My spotter that day indeed is an older alpha guy that flies the fastest, most expensive jets at the field. So I am perfectly happy to play second fiddle just so I can fit in the morning (retired) crowd. I’ll consider my efforts successful if my spotter finally converts one of his composite Schuebeler fan powered jets with head-tracking FPV equipment to fly from cockpit view😁
I fly occasionaly my fpv drone, but this looks also very fun, as planes "want" to fly, while drones are actually just four propellers attached to a frame.
@@Kazuya720 I agree! Drones are great camera platforms, very versatile at its function. But planes have character, beauty and often are subjects of story and lore. When one flies a jet, he feels like Tom Cruise/Maverick, the main character. Operator of drone is just camera crew😁
@@misc5831 Thank you! I first started flying RC in 1990 also but had a 20 year hiatus. I started focusing on flying from the cockpit in the last 6 years. It’s a great way to apply full scale flying knowledge using RC planes, enabling safe separation in formation flying and dogfights. I still fly RC conventionally from ground view so I get twice the utility from one plane😁
@@RECK_Adventures Thanks! You have a great flying field, too. Aim for dusk or dawn flights, it will be dead calm with fog, great time for flying and filming. Looking forward to seeing more of your FPV adventures.
When I was flying RC planes we put a video camera on a large scale plane but we had to look at it afterwards it took a couple of tries as exhaust mist messed it up first time. Looking at this it is beyond anything we could even imagine.
wow..!!! great video... this was amazing to watch you (and us) fly your rc jet from the cockpit view. it's the first time i've seen or heard of this. extremely cool...:) this was great to watch...:) big thank you and congradulations.....amazing

Nice flights on a potent 90mm EDF there. I had a Freewing Stinger 90mm back in analog FPV days that put a beating on its 6s battery with sustained 90-amp current pulls. I'm going to do 12s EDF someday but most flight controllers only go up to 6s max voltage. Also, I'm surprised the guys at this RC field allow FPV flights. Most of the old guys that run RC fields absolutely despise FPV.
@@RCGuyVideos The FPV guys at our field have demonstrated that we are much better pilots compared to the average LOS flying guys. And we observe all field rules just like everyone else. And we bring new interest into the RC hobby. The old guys need to adapt new thinking or the RC club eventually dies with them.
I saw something similar, but one step beyond. The pilot sat in a seat with gimbals. When he would bank the RC plane to the left, the seat would bank to the left, same with the right. When he would dive the plane, the seat would tilt forward. When he would climb, the seat would tilt back. Straight and level flight, the seat would be level.
@@RicktheCrofter That’s cool! What position should the chair be when the plane is flying inverted, or going vertical? How does he carry the seat to the flying field? Our field has strict rules for people to fly from the pilot stations.
Awesome work and a great flight. If I had any critique it would be using Spektrum for control. As an FPV rule of thumb you want your control link to out range your video link and DJI will easily out range Spektrum control. Since you're not limited by your vision flying FPV it's very easy to get to the limit of your Spektrum gear. I recommend FrSky's newer stuff if you want something similarly easy to program as Spektrum but I personally use Radiomaster with Crossfire 900Mhz or ELRS 2.4Ghz (good for at least 40-60km control vs 20km for DJI video). You likely will never bump into either of those limits but I like my links to be bulletproof, or as close as possible. I've had Spektrum glitch on me inside 1km and I no longer trust it.
@@Invid72 I agree with your recommendation🙂 I have been using FrSky X20S with Tandem receivers for last 4 years and have not had any issues. I lost a few planes previously with Spektrum as well.
Nice flight. I hopping to do some good chasing at the end of Oct out in AZ at the AMP's club Warbird event. I wish you could be there. I'd love to fly with you
I would not recommend an O3 air unit without an arm command input from a flight controller (this is why you can buy Arduino arm command solutions) The o3 air unit was designed for drone flight controllers. When the drone is disarmed it does not blast the other pilots video on the ground. The original air unit does not do this hence why it's more popular for planes
Yes. Good tip. I am actually setting up a SpeedyBee 405 Wing FC at the moment. I wish the OG air unit was still for sale. I miss the audio recording ability.
@@motionsic I fly regularily my EDF jets flawlessly with the Speedybee F405 and Motionsick headtracker equipped with the O3, but I also miss a lot the audio, it would help to monitor the speed and engine power, altrough I have pitot on the plane and airspeed in the goggles, as well as engine power %... To know you can rely on the FC's "return home" is very reassuring.
@@alainrac56 Yes! Having airspeed & power telemetry is critical for realistic flying - I have put it off for way too long😅. But in cockpit sound realtime feedback is even more intuitive than reading the OSD telemetry. We need to have enough people flying FPV in planes to influence manufacturers specs for future FPV products😉
F*** - that is a low cost plane, and small, and all the equipment is easy to finance and put in - because it is cheap mass produced. How the world has changed it is crazy. I mean, any phone has a decent camera now and THEY are size limited - but this is a very good show how - whow. Just whow. If you now add AR instruments - so you can see the instruments in the cockpit - that is... I am seriously impressed.
Correct! It’s a parallax free functional reflex sight. I use it for precise attitude reference against horizon: fpvdogfight.com/products/motionsic-arms-attitude-reference-miniature-sight
@@motionsic It look so nice hanging in the roof of my living room, and the field where I can fly my planes is tiny and you have to round some trees for landing.
Beautiful! But what is missing is a double Cam Stereo in the Cockpit for a real 3D vision experience. I will be needing then an 11 Channel Radio for that extra Cam - right?
Geez, been doing this since the mid 1980's... Started with helicopters without gyros. You should try a 3D setup but it works best NOE. The effect goes away with altitude but is awesome low and slow...

What type of transmitter do you use? I have been flying on an NX8 and AR630 receivers and I have had a real problem with loss of signal control. I crashed a Ultra Slow stick from about 200 feet, i was doing a maneuver and it was headed into the dirt and with 10 seconds to recover, I was moving the sticks like a madman and the plane had a mind of its own and barreled straight into the ground with zero deviation from my inputs. I had a flight today that almost ended the same way, but luckily i regained control about 2 seconds above the ground. I am really looking for a more reliable alternative.
First of all, awesome video and commentary. This makes me want to get back into RC! I taught aerobatics for about 8 years in Decathlons, a Pitts and an Extra300 and for the most part you're using the same sight pictures and references that I used to teach my students. Is this near the Trabuco Flyers site or Lake Irvine? Those ridge lines look awfully familiar.
Thank you for the encouragement! It feels great to hear affirmation from a pro aerobatic pilot😁. This is Bob Swenson Memorial Field near Irvine Lake - as close to RC heaven as it gets!
Is that a goggles 3? Are you not worried about the goggles 3 but that will make you lose video signal when used with 03 air unit? I guess on a fixed wing you can easily disarm and arm again on losing vid signal.
On this flight, I was using Goggles 2 with O3 air unit, no flight controller. Just turning low power mode off on air unit. No arming signal - so coincidently no issues with Goggles 3 if not armed.
@@icannotfly not flying for this week and next as the field is closed and has become a base of firefighting operations. The good news is the field itself is not threatened by fire, at least currently.
@@icannotfly it actually started near another RC field called Trabuco Flyers, which gave the fire it’s name “Airport Fire”. Ironically it was started accidentally by county crew while doing fire prevention work when his equipment sparked. So sad🥲
No, unfortunately not. Current air unit for sale do not include microphones. Audio recordings are from my cell phone. The OG Air Unit did have mic on it but no longer for sale except in used market🥲

@@Pardogad yeah! Just need a promoter for air races, dogfight events and such😁
The cool thing is the HUD/reflex sight.
Correct! It’s a parallax free functional reflex sight. I use it for precise attitude reference against horizon: fpvdogfight.com/products/motionsic-arms-attitude-reference-miniature-sight
Top Gun, The series
You get the idea. The best FPV pilots from RC clubs across the country come together for a dogfight tournament. Know any promoters?
best rc video
Beautiful Zeus! Surfing in fog seems more scale than I thought. Nice!:))
@@emiliyanmartinov Thanks! Hope to get FC ready so Artificial Horizon and return to home is available if I get into thicker fog.
@@motionsic I already ordered mine and waiting for it to arrive. SpeedyBee F405 WING APP. But the iNav mess is yet to come :D
@@emiliyanmartinov indeed😂
Nice!
I have that Cirrus aircraft, but still haven't dared to fly it, yet.
@@christer8964 What’s stoping you?
@@motionsic It look so nice hanging in the roof of my living room, and the field where I can fly my planes is tiny and you have to round some trees for landing.
Amazing. Love having the fog, like having clouds. Lol
Beautiful!
But what is missing is a double Cam Stereo in the Cockpit for a real 3D vision experience.
I will be needing then an 11 Channel Radio for that extra Cam - right?
Imagine the military applications😮😮😮😮
Sure, we play mock dogfights without actually using bullets, just for fun🙂
He will get hire by the Army to do some training for sure.
This is beautiful. Where is the VR altitude and other indicators?
Will show in following episodes.
Amazing
this is the future of miliary simulator games lol . get guys with all kinds of RC toys start a war against each other
Geez, been doing this since the mid 1980's... Started with helicopters without gyros. You should try a 3D setup but it works best NOE. The effect goes away with altitude but is awesome low and slow...
wow amazing !!
Can you make a video how setup the reverse Thrust. Thanks
@@fortunajetsrc Yeah. I had a little trouble setting it up initially. Thanks for the request.
finally somebody did it
Yes! Realizing childhood dream of being a fighter pilot shared by many after watching Top Gun😎
Epic! 🙌
@@thecavemandynamic2685 Thank you😁
@@motionsic You are very welcome!
Dude, how are you making those sights?!??
It’s proprietary. We have been working on them for years. Available to you conveniently here:

Amazing - first time i have seen this - shall read your notes, meanwhile, what camera are u using onboard?
O3 Air Unit Camera, see the video following this one for install tutorial and other components.
Cool! Do you think it's possible to fly that thing down the hatch of a T90 main battle tank? Just asking for a friend .......
Too nice of a system to waste on Kamikaze attack on a T90 tank, totally could dive bomb just as accurately though🤠
Oh wow. My dreams of flying comes true. How to i get this setup?

It's amazing but I was getting a headache
@@leokimvideo Thanks! The channel is not called Motionsic for nothing 😉😆
F ing awesome 👍🏿😎
Awesome.
Thanks for the how to video. Do you prefer the Zeus or Viper 90mm
@@cameronmilne940 Zeus has better speed and vertical performance, but short flight time. Viper 90 is still better overall.
rainbow in nature : beautiful
rainbow in human : Disaster
🤣
Can you do a tutorial on how to set up head tracking??? And maybe what to buy?
Yeah. See the tutorial video following this one:

@@motionsic
Sweet! Thank you. I wasn’t sure where to start.
"I wouldn't care if Dave's not here" hahahaha:)
@@jonathancovert1 😆
wow si logra poner pantallas con sensores digitales o analogos seria genial, algo asi como medidor de velocidad, medidor de guerza g, altimetro, etc.
Working on it!
Hi, from where is it shipped?
Thank you

What type of transmitter do you use? I have been flying on an NX8 and AR630 receivers and I have had a real problem with loss of signal control. I crashed a Ultra Slow stick from about 200 feet, i was doing a maneuver and it was headed into the dirt and with 10 seconds to recover, I was moving the sticks like a madman and the plane had a mind of its own and barreled straight into the ground with zero deviation from my inputs. I had a flight today that almost ended the same way, but luckily i regained control about 2 seconds above the ground. I am really looking for a more reliable alternative.
@@jasonthornton2525 I have been using FrSky X20S with TD R10 for three years, have not had any control issues.
First of all, awesome video and commentary. This makes me want to get back into RC! I taught aerobatics for about 8 years in Decathlons, a Pitts and an Extra300 and for the most part you're using the same sight pictures and references that I used to teach my students. Is this near the Trabuco Flyers site or Lake Irvine? Those ridge lines look awfully familiar.
Thank you for the encouragement! It feels great to hear affirmation from a pro aerobatic pilot😁. This is Bob Swenson Memorial Field near Irvine Lake - as close to RC heaven as it gets!
@@motionsic I thought it was that area. We practiced east and south of Coto De Caza. I'll definitely check it out if I'm in the area again.
@@chrisbebensee334 Let me know when you want to visit. I will show you around🙂
Einfach nur geil.
Thank you!
Esto está increiblemente bueno.
¡Gracias! Me alegro de que hayas venido a dar el paseo.
Nice. I wonder what the latency is between moving your head and getting the image back reflecting the new angle.
@@clintonkeith5333 Haven’t measured, not enough to cause issues while flying. Latency for visual transmission is about 30ms.
oh hell yeah! I nearly got the Zeus instead of the 64mm f14 XD
I wanted the F-14 64mm, too. But cockpit is too tight to fit the BAG and camera. Still waiting for the 80mm update.
I can’t believe we’re still using mechanical head tracking in 2024 when we have amazingly good 360° cameras.
Waiting for someone like you to do something about it🙂
Is that a goggles 3? Are you not worried about the goggles 3 but that will make you lose video signal when used with 03 air unit? I guess on a fixed wing you can easily disarm and arm again on losing vid signal.
On this flight, I was using Goggles 2 with O3 air unit, no flight controller. Just turning low power mode off on air unit. No arming signal - so coincidently no issues with Goggles 3 if not armed.
any updates on the condition of the airfield itself? the fire is burning away from it, right?
@@icannotfly not flying for this week and next as the field is closed and has become a base of firefighting operations. The good news is the field itself is not threatened by fire, at least currently.
@@motionsic that's good! I had heard the start was somewhere near you but wasn't sure how close.
@@icannotfly it actually started near another RC field called Trabuco Flyers, which gave the fire it’s name “Airport Fire”. Ironically it was started accidentally by county crew while doing fire prevention work when his equipment sparked. So sad🥲
@@motionsicgood they found the cause hope everyone is safe . You can patrol from the sky and give live updates
FPV videos were so funny that other RC videos got fed up. There's also a sound in the flight video. Does the air unit also have a microphone?
No, unfortunately not. Current air unit for sale do not include microphones. Audio recordings are from my cell phone. The OG Air Unit did have mic on it but no longer for sale except in used market🥲
