The aeroscout with its prop in the back (being a pusher) is a great plane to do fpv with since the prop won’t get in the way of the camera. As usual great video and great content.
There are plenty of planes specifically made for FPV, but you can also try putting FPV into other planes. It's usually pretty simple as long as there's enough room.
wow. the amount of effort that you put into making this video really amazes me. Two planes with matching speeds and maintaining altitude and on top of it each plane capturing beautiful undisturbed video of the other plane, coolest person you are. thanks for such videos.
About time....I've asked that question already... and you said the the propeller would be in the away..that's why I would want to buy a RC plane... and whoever's dog that was...it was adorable
I have been thinking about this same thing for awhile now. I think it’s awesome that you did this. It looks really fun. Steve rigging up the aero scout was a good idea as to not have the props in his view. Really awesome thanks for doing this.
I had often thought why someone didn’t put a camera on a rc plane and fly it FPV style. Well you must have been reading my mind. Good job! Thank for making it real. Love the video. 😊
I have the zohd dart 250, and with the kopilot system and crossfire setup I’ve gone probably about 3 kilometres with it. It’s a great plane to fly and the vision in my goggles makes it great fun to fly. So I know exactly what you mean, even though it’s only got an analogue system it still makes for great fun Steve.
I am a brand new pilot and I thought the coolest thing with RC Airplanes were planes with floats to takeoff and land on water and perhaps with skis on snow. Wrong! Capturing images and video in the air is now the coolest thing ever and I am now setting some goals to do FPV as this makes this an even cooler hobby. I love high wing trainer style planes so I am thinking I could mount a camera on the side of the fuse back behind the wing for an interesting POV and capture some interesting flights and landscapes. I recently saw one where the person was at the beach taking off of the hard pack wet sand and then flying out and over the water. Oh so cool. So much to learn and research of what to get and how to use it. Subscribed!
Well done.....I will be getting DJI 3 and 03 air unit. Only problem is the wirer connections / camera/unit are so short for placement on plane. Wonder if its possible to extend them.
coming from FPV quads into airplanes FPV i put a FC and that's cool fly even warbirds. I only lack the skill of flying LOS😊 nice to have a buddy to fly and chase together. Greetings from the Philippines
Nice video! Very interesting. I have the king fisher, On floats now and want the Fpv unit you have after seeing this. Thanks for the information. Greets from Europe.
This was a great video captain! I just got a fpv set up at the same time as you basically and I have the same thoughts about it being easier than flying line of site
Great plane, thank you for the video. but how did you connect the DJI Googles to your FPV camera, arent they suppose to be only for the DJI drones? I have been wanting to get that particular FPV Googles as I have a DJI drone but I also want to use one for my planes, and did not know that was possible,. do you have a link on how you did that?
That is really awesome flying experience captain 🛩️ guessing I can use also the dji fpv goggles V2 right? And you're using the runcam link wasp digital fpv system, correct?
Awsome plane im jealous i really expecting some compagny bring a motion controller for the people like me with a disability that can we fly rc again. Thanks great video like usual☝️👌
I know it has probably been a year since you recorded the footage, but do you know if you were running the DJI goggles and camera in low latency mode or high quality mode? The camera you linked to is capable of 120FPS, if you use low latency mode. However, it will operate at 60fps in high quality mode. The FPV footage in your video looks very similar to 60fps cameras I've seen. I suspect 120 FPS cameras would change the way the prop looks (hopefully for the better), but I don't know.
Camera is a RUNCAM WASP. I ran it in default mode at the highest output power. When flying FPV there is no requirement to go above 30 FPS in goggles. Now if the unit had onboard recording to a micro SD Card then you would select 60 FPS for the recorded file but never 120 FPS because 120 FPS on any camera made by mankind is simply for recording and then playing back at 30 FPS to create 4x slow motion video.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Can you provide more details on your camera-to-battery connection? Is it just positive and negative connections soldered to the air unit? Is there an BEC or voltage regulator between the two?
@@RoddPleasCorrect just a simple two wire connection that can either run off the balance cable of the battery in the plane or its own battery. There was plenty of space so I simply add its own 2s battery.
I want to add this to my plane, I need a seperate bettery to power this system. What battery did you use to power your air unit? Or, do you have any sugestions. I currently dont know what type of batterys and connectors I will need for this.
1:31 inset photo shows that the configuration of the main lg results in the less-than optimal location of the mass of the lg. regarding the aeroscout: instead of using an optimal thrust line the manufacturer chose to build nose-up moment into the horiz-stab.!!! the result is more drag and a higher rate of energy consumption. the stock power setup is wonky/under-powered. the location of the main lg is abnormal. d
I would love to do FPV on an fixed wing plane. It would also be nice to have one of those transmitters that gives you the speed an artificial horizon as well. True airspeed would be nice...then it would get like flying a full sized plane, where airspeed is one of the most important things you have to watch while flying. Yes, I had my ground school for my pilots license, but never was able to afford the flight time to get it. Now I would be disallowed do for medical reasons Looks like a lot of fun
Most flight controller software will allow you to use artificial horizon in the osd, since they have a built in gyro. And most allow you to add a small gps the size of a postage stamp for airspeed, position and an arrow pointing back to take off location. You can setup the craft to return to home if the rc link is lost.
If you want to take the power for the camera from the AIRPLANE'S Battery you certainly could. If you are lost in regards to FPV watch this video I made: th-cam.com/video/W27r_La2mdc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2fj-FAawAqAgriny
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you for this. This answered all of my questions. Are you able to link that balance lead to JST connector and the JST that you put on the module?
Just top mention... You guys were using Expensive Digital FPV equipment... You can get into FPV flying for a lot less $$ if you go Analog Equipment first to see if you like it.
OK you are right. Could you suggest to newbies as we are a set up system for what I need to buy to try a fpv flight with my aeroplane? Thanks appreciate it.
If you come from DJI drones then there is a bit of a learning curve on how to set up a radio, bind to a receiver and operate a battery charger and understand batteries, but once the knowledge is learned, all is well. If you are already in the FPV hobby, then there is not much of a learning curve.
The wildlife wasn't bothered. :-). If you are new to my channel, I never point out spotters in any video as it serves for borrow video time. Although, those who know my channel can clerverly spot spotters since I never fly alone.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 : ah, but if they are moving into "plastic" ... what then ? Captain fan plastic ? Talking of fans, I must admit I am a fan of the FMS Kingfisher Super Bush Plane ... I'm just not a fan of the Propeller dominating the video output.

You should use a multiplex twinstar
Easy to fly with free sight forward
Been considering this for a while; didnt know where to start. Thanks, Steve.

Great show, keep them coming my friend 👍👍
Always great information
So much winter RC Plane fun.
JUST PLANE GOOD FUN 👍 👌
Nice video. I want to know what camera is compatible with receiver video and goggles. The camera that is using at video is compatible only with dji.
Footage looks good
I took my mini 2 at that spot yesterday. I have to say its a popular spot for drone, RC copter and powered paragliding lmao.
Nice review. Hang in there.

Welcome to the channel
Great video one love 👊 🙏
Kingfisher is a wonderful plane
Yes, a very versatile one
I have had my kingfisher for awhile once I fix it from my crash I might have to get some goggles and a camera to try this
awesome.love the rc plane.

I have a aeroscout with a fpv camera on it they are the perfect plane to set up like that.
Nice drones
Good evening captain really cool video
is there any links to show which parts are compatible ? Im new to this hobby and wanting to 3d print my new plane
Very nice 😊

Just watch one of a million videos on TH-cam that shows someone linking their DJI goggles to a DJI camera.
Thanks but my question is not for the DJI to DJI is for the DJI googles to any regular of the mill FPV camera
I have been looking but cannot find any

Where is all youtube genius to come to said that is easy to do 🤣or other things for it
I am an AeroScout pilot (thanks for the recommendation Cap’n) Any chance you can detail Jedi Steve’s setup? Thx
His setup is similar to mine… he just pulled a digital VTX out of one of his drones.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks
Im thinking about putting a fpv system in my losi hammer rey u4 truck but after seei g this i might have to try out planes

Great idea. Next time let's see fpv with some aerobatics.
Did you wire/splice wires to connect the camera to the battery or is there a plug and play connecter to power the dji camera from a lipo?
Like all FPV digital cameras by DJI, CADDX, RUNCAM, you need to solder two wires as power.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Can you provide more details on your camera-to-battery connection? Is it just positive and negative connections soldered to the air unit? Is there an BEC or voltage regulator between the two?

What range and how much weight will one of these planes carry?
Wooow, 🤝🤝
I learned on planes, which transferred to drones quite easily. Keep practicing..
If you think this is cool you should check out the head tracking gimbal version by Motionsic. RC plane dogfighting…amazing.
Yes, one of my friends uses head tracking to fly and it looks very cool
Funny I've never flown a drone only planes LOS and FPV. To me the FPV drones look hard but really fun
I want to add this to my plane, I need a seperate bettery to power this system. What battery did you use to power your air unit? Or, do you have any sugestions. I currently dont know what type of batterys and connectors I will need for this.
Watch this video of mine: th-cam.com/video/W27r_La2mdc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Up8ctPWstoda2xvE
Is there a sub 250g fix wing fpv you would recommend?
The heaviest part of an RC plane is usually the battery. You’d have to look at the e-Flite UMX line of RC planes or the ZOHD mini series.
