This is my attempt to send a radio controlled airplane to the edge of space using a weather ballon, and then via a live video feed pilot it back down again.

7 years after this video was made TH-cam recommended this video to me and I'm very glad they did. This is incredible, amazing work.
because you buyed yourself a drone, thats why.
@@therealhomerj.simpson2372 How do you know that? I just bought a drone and this video became recommended.
Same here but I don't bought a drone. 😂
@@MrSmithFPV Me too
But maybe because you searched after a drone?
Has 100,000ft to decide where to land, still hits a tree...
You dont realize how shitty the video feed is man, it is quite literally tv static. Its near impossible to see ANYTHING, let alone from how far he was. In fact, Ill bet he didnt even know there were trees.
ShureLock but he still hit a tree bro
BRO HE HIT THAT TREE SO FUCKING HARD LMAO
@@awhahoo lol the thin branches of the tree is literally invisible in the analog fpv, even racing drones analog cam that flown 100 meters max can get blurry
Verytryn i mean, still hit a tree
And this was 7 years ago! The tech has advanced so much I cant wait for another mission like this
That’s so true
Unfortunately with all the new FAA rules put in place in recent years anyone who posted mission like this nowadays will be in trouble
So, just do it properly and request FAA flight window.
@@richardamiss7000 If he's using meters it sounds like he's in Europe, so no US FAA there. Something similar probably. But maybe different rules.
@@mikeysmusicchannel9312 Lol...not at all. Thats the beauty of editing, There,s enough Oppression in the world, and cant do this, cant do that. Send it i say.
next attempt: attach small rockets with a total of 3 stages and get yourself into a sub orbital trajectory with small rcs thrusters on the glider
***** sounds cooler
***** an ssto will have to be huge in takeoff size
Hopefully its possible...
i think we should make the gun powder and shoot the satellite to the space,because it's more simple and it's could burning well without oxygen.
was my first thought too when i saw the video.
this guy just flew an fpv plane into fucking SPACE - how the hell does pewdiepie have more subs than him?
+TheRoshan89
Earth's population is full of retarded flat earth flat heads idiots
+TheRoshan89 balloon he says it a few times lol, he flew the plane FROM space lol
Neither to nor from space, since space starts at 100 km of altitude. Still, nice job.
Because he's hilarious and produces quality stuff
.
I still think this is one of the most amazing and legendary fpv projects and I would totally live to see a part 2 with the tech we have today :)
10 years later I find out about this amazing human? We are stuck with a bunch of crap apps and content --- yet this should be required viewing. wOw!!!! thank you sir!!!
Great video man. That is such a cool little machine.
it is truly incredible that an average person can now get footage from freaking space! awesome video, David
Jon B Baca not space it's just high up in the atmosphere
This is still pretty far from being labelled as space.
You are Crazy! I Love It!
David ... After so many great FPV years I still can't get enough of this video. This is the HOLY GRAIL of long range FPV. Again thank you for all you have taught us. Cheer and wishing you well - Aero FPV
you should fly it to north korea
they would shoot it down though...
I hope it would not start WWIII LOL
CM6774 lol no one likes north Korea enough to back them in a global conflict. it would more or less be a bunch of Western powers destroying a sad little nation.

Decent vid, shows the scale of what we live on. Any dislikes are just weird..
Thanks for that, amazing!
Be sure to check out my latest project where we use a rocket propelled knife traveling at 200km/h to cut stuff

Imagine his face when his plane connects to American Airlines wifi
Nobody connects to that Wi-Fi for free!
@@jovie311 woooosh
GET WIFI ANYWHERE YOU GO!
@@jovie311 Haha last time I flew for vacation last year to Florida from Colorado and our airline says we get free onboard wi-fi. As soon as I connect to Wi-Fi, it is only free for checking on your flight status on the map of where you are and then if I want to do anything else such as browsing the web, it will cost you money. So it is definitely bullshit advertising. Free Wi-Fi just to check your plane status!
@@Xiphactinus hold up
My two favorite parts:
When the burst balloon fragments hang down around the camera like they are just hanging still in the sun.
How unspectacular the landing. One eight millimeter branch bitch slaps it out of the stratosphere!
I was so impressed by your project. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!
I'm not sure who's more ignorant. The people concerned about the few people that think the earth is flat, the actual people that believe the earth is flat, or the people asking if he found the plane.
spherical geometry really melted my brain
I assumed he was using telemetry given his comments. Of course, if it was a recording, he found his glider.
hahahahah, so true .
@@gavmedia5674 actually there was a experiment done with lasers over a distance on a lake the laser hit higher on the other side indicating that the earth is curved
@@juling0483
Laser tests have proven only one thing.
Accuracy is way off due to the spreading of the light over distance.
I see visual proof of our flat earth everytime I look over the water from the Fylde coast UK over to the Isle of Man 60 miles away.
No laser needed, just the zoom on my camera.
Technology is the downfall of the globe.
Old video I know but.....EPIC. Doesn't matter that you never retrieve the glider, you gained a view very few humans get to see with their own eyes. Worth it.
This video is how i got into fpv and drone building.....im so grateful for your upload
Your awesome .... Now if the military was doing that project... About a million bucks later... Good job and hope it goes perfect next time.

Lmfao dude darpa is doing this
still that was amazing
to see the edge of space.
very well done loved it.
This was a real treat. Honestly one of the coolest videos I’ve ever seen, because although you’re obviously an expert. You made this seem possible. Truly a beautiful video, narration, footage and editing, background music! Nailed it. -America
This is one of the most interesting of all videos on TH-cam. Amazing he could get so high with such simple equipment.
Great video! I clicked when I read the title, "Space Glider" and it was worth it. Great commentary throughout. Well paced and visually stunning!
This will be illegal in a decade
+Jon For Much sooner I'm afraid.
+Jon Dor Why?
+Jon Dor I just saw one of these things doing an 90 kilometre flight at up to 12000 feet altitude. Clearly there is nobody aboard to properly see and avoid, no flight plan filed, no transponder, no radio calls of position and direction. Recently I saw one very close to the approach to Brussels airport. I predict a tragedy, just a matter of time.
+Jon Dor I think it's illegal as of TODAY with the new drone regulations that just came out (Dec 14, 2015).
than217 Fucking government...
Such insane footage
Very cool. Excellent job. Love the high altitude near space flight, free fall and re-entry through clouds. Glad you found it
that was very peaceful friend,i enjoyed the music and scenery thanks for your hard work.from texas
There images are so beautiful. Well done, good work!!
This is COSMIC you can now say you have been to the edge of space. Very well done ✌
David, you're one in a million, man. Thanks for sharing.
Holy cow. That's awesome! Thanks for sharing and I hope you (successfully) attempt this again. It would be awesome to see it flown as intended all the way back to your base station.
also the earth is flat. i checked it myself with with a straight edge in my backyard.
jcoronet2000 The Earth is not FLAT DUMBASS
jcoronet2000 Hah! You sir, just made my day!
Ho-Oh Hunters calm down, it was a joke
Lol
swagy doge gaming RBLX and more do I have to say this again? It was a joke!
I saw this video back in 2014, and came here today to visit this masterpiece. This was such an amazing work, hope you make another mission.
Fantastic! Well done.. I worked in Electronics for 35 years as an ISR Tech.... Great Job!!! Thank You!
"about 10 minutes of gliding later, I'm getting ready to penetrate the clouds" ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o)
Thats pretty long!
@@ihas8407 that's what she said
Don't judge!
2017 ,this is still GOAT FPV footage ever
Now, about 4 mins in, I'm so relaxed that you decided to chill and enjoy the view n not stress about mebbe losing the cool machine that had provided you with nice high angle views of our world.
Never gets old! Amazing
Absolutely stunning.
you were great on flite test but this video is amazing, how legal i dont know but WOW i feel like i went to space. beautiful pictures. and its probably the closest ill get to heaven
+Dave Harvey Yea I say screw flite test and their dumb antics. He needs to be on his own again and do stuff like this again.
you mean to the firmament
to heaven? lol I got bad news for you buddy..... it ain't real.
.
+marcus ll prove it.
That was a successful mission by any measure. Great job guys.
yeah i come back every year to watch again... best youtube video !!!!
WHAT KIND OF TRANSMITTER DO YOU HAVE? GEEZ!!!
Did you find the plane again?
Gavin Endsley yes... if not he wouldn't have had the footage. he had a gps tracker.
He has a FlySky from banggood :)))
@@sadigov lol
@@ezracer dragon link. The grand daddy of long range. Looking at R9MM or crossfire for my small drone. But ill prob still lose video
Fantastic, thanks for this, I really enjoyed watching. Cheers.
This is the coolest video I've seen in a while. Amazing amazing video. Congrats!!
This is a classic video now, one of the first videos I watched getting into the hobby.
Great job!
I enjoyed every moment of it.

Where mouths?

Here mouths
Why would they? And why does it even matter?
A real space mission! Very fascinating video with suitable music. Realy loved to see this. Thank you very much! Greetings from Germany.
If I was terminal and had a few days left to live this is the way I would want to go, having that sunset and view close to the cosmos while plummeting down to earth would be incredible.
And to think this was 7 years ago. Like dam good job
Amazed my the number of idiots gassing off about how this was illegal & irresponsible.... get your facts in order first! A little research will reveal the pilot got legal clearance to use the skies every time he did this (3 times i believe).
This is an Amazing video, but it is NOT the ones who do it legal you say David had clearance I don't know if he did or not But knowing him through his videos I'm sure he did the correct thing -Its the ones who don't care and try and copy things like this WITHOUT proper permission or experience in R/C that has caused all the trouble. It wont be long that most if not all FPV will be illegal or so restricted & fees attached for permits that no one will be able to enjoy it anymore. Once again the few stupid ones have messed up yet another wonderful thing for the rest of us I also seen a video were a 20 yr old male invaded the privacy of a yard two house down from his own (she was sun bathing) and the girl called the cops on him. This one was told to me by the officer who took the call where I live-3 young kids put a laser pointer on there quads and flying around at night shining it into windows of people homes! WTF!!! Its stupid crap like that that piss's me off bad!! & I know the people who make the laws are going to screw that up too. Sad to say but I think our days of FPV fun are numbered- AND Just to be CLEAR I'm NOT saying or calling anyone in this video or who posted comments here are the guilty or the stupid!
***** He need a transponder for Secondary Surveillance Radar. Additonal need He a HAM-licence for 1.2GHz and should know 962-1.213GHz MHz is DME a part of radio navigation for aviation world wide.
i simply said i "hoped" he had FAA clearance. i didn't say anything mean. Since he didn't mention it in the video or in the description i assumed he hadn't
Simply amazing man. You even used the right music for this. Again truly amazing.
I was like, wow, long range, then I saw that you did this in 2013! Mind = BLOWN!
TH-cam algorithm:
"you have been waiting seven years and you didn't know. The time has come. Open your eyes"
Nice flight! Too bad for the equipment problems, but it's definitely a great go.
Check out flite test.
Blown away! That was incredibly ballsy, I definitely couldn't have kept it together like you did when the balloon was still tethered.
That. . . Was absolutely incredible! Well done man
DUDE, U ROCK! MORE.. MORE.. WE WANT MORE ;-)
I still see this as one of the most inspiring videos on TH-cam.
Nothing is impossible with a little enginerding.
Amazing! thanks David for inspiring all of us.
I remember your involvement with flight test ! You were awesome in those videos . Those fpv set ups were rad . This video is amazing! Absolutely gnarmobile!
Hi! Do you have a DVR recorded live video feed? I am interested of the quality.
I say: Time for a recall David! An Inav controlled plane with rtl, i would love to see if it would be capable of returning home from that height.
I have a severe fear of heights, and I can tell you, my legs got weak and my stomach cringed while the balloon was at maximum altitude. Terrific experiment!
probably one of the best videos on youtube!!
Next time, drop a nokia to destroy the planet ;-)
nigga why do you think that the guys from nokia were captured to work for the north korean nuclear institute?
Lol
ahahah
Lmao XD 😂
LOL
Great job 👍🏻
du bist doch überall!
;D Du anscheinend auch ;)
+katzenklo muss ich dir rechtgeben :D
Musik ist keine Lösung
I am watching it after 8 years when GoPro hero 9 is rocking the world. Great video brother 💕
Best video I have seen on TH-cam, and I have seen a lot of videos. You did what many of us believed was not possible.
That was cool ,I really enjoyed it.
So Are you getting set up for a maned mission yet?
that was awesome dude :)
i wanna do something similar in the future with my quadcopter
Don’t. It will fall at a high rate of speed and if something goes wrong it will slam the earth going over 100mph. That could kill someone. If it doesn’t burn up.
Literally out of this world, thank you!
That footage is out of this world
Wow, I need to get my FPV gear before it's illegal. Thanks for the video.
Yeah, "the powers" are trying to force a lot of good folks to become fugitives. We're still gonna fly though!
I agree!
Stephen Comer I gota a nimrod 5.4Ghz downlink from my phantom and its like a guy makes it in his shed like some cottage industry - so it will be hard to stop from the equipment side.
Its like those marketing stickers they place on public transport - if they simply call the number they find the end point. For the fpv flier its hard for them to spot the perpetrator in the same way... I mean you can be on your mobile phone piloting the bloody thing !!! so they would need to simply look at this video and talk to YT...Just before anyone gets any funny ideas you would stick out like a sore thumb having your Tx signal if they needed to up the ante..if we all fly responsibly that wont be needed its the other idiots I fear for. Watch this space we are all getting banned soon.
David Windestål
can we have another Space FPV video?
this one was great but it was incomplete.
Can we have another one?
Thank you.
Wow, great video! I'm glad you were able to get your playing in the footage! That was really neat to watch.
OMG!!! WHAT AMAZING AND WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!!CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Flat earth my ass
***** I believe he's implying the earth is round....
***** Actually you do, but it's small compared with the fish eye effect. If you know what to look for, pause the video at the correct point and you will see the curvature.
Hint the fish eye effect is more close to the edges of the lense, so you will have a point where the fish eye effect is minimal, and where the effect should be showing a slight curvature in opposite direction, but it doesn't. And at that point you see the earth's curvature, though not perfectly.
Glitch Mob I'm sure there is some way to explain this video.. Maybe it's actually a video made by the government to make it seem like the Earth is round.. Just like any video from NASA like the moon landing they were fakes designed to hide the fact that the Earth is actually flat!
Dee Jay the earth is inverted, flat, and round in this video. the fish eye lens is not conclusive
Dee Jay You realize people, people I know personally, have sailed around the globe, right?
7 years ago David FPV'd a plane on the edge of space... And here I am with occasional signal issues flying at the park 😂 epic footage 👌🏼👏🏼
The same thing occurred to me. Signal range 20 miles!!! All-be-it straight up. Doesn't seem possible.
Spectacular view!
What a great video. What an adventure this is so cool and the video just beautiful. Thank you for putting this together to share. AWESOME.
The wild wild west of fpv. The beginnings.
These comments crack me up
This is a wonderful and beautiful video.
I’ve seen many videos like this but none with “controlled” flight back down! Awesome
Future: we can get our own footage of space!
Sorry to dissapoint you the the future is just staying home..
@@promaster6438 could be worse, it's not like the Bubonic Pla... ahh crap.
When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was fake
Gepic GB i thought it was clickbait
Gepic GB same here m8
Why ? space is only about 20 miles up or so.
Oh, ONLY 20 miles. Thanks for that.
Plz... Space is not 20 miles... The Karman Line defines the boundary between earth's athmosphere and space. This Kalman line is 100km (60 miles) above sea level. So that guy just made 1/3 of his way to space (which is actually really impressive, but it's not space ^^). Also it is theoreticaly impossible to reach space with a baloon filled with helium or hydrogen (otherwise SpaceX would have done it long ago to send their satellite into orbit ^^)
The thumnail is missleading. The video was taken with a very wide angle camera. Because of this, the image is very very distorted. With another camera the earth would have been a lot more flat :)
That was absolutely amazing! I totally want to do this!
Thanks David! This is a phenomenal experiment!! Awesome :)
Great job David, I watched you all the time on Flite Test, we miss you there bud. You missed Flite Test 2014 , HUGE turn out at the field man.
See you in the air David. ( And yes, You got me interested in RC Quad Copters) I fly daily now and it's a blast, check out my TH-cam site when you get the chance. The FAA here in the USA outlawed FPV with the Fat Shark type goggles, line of sight and all, what asses. We'll get that over turned soon.
See you in the air David.

TO THE EDGE OF SPAAAAACE
You did a great job with this project.You should be happy!
Great job David! Really ambitious and imaginative!
Now you should use a stage 2 rocket.
Yep. And launch it somehow from the maximum altitude the balloon can take it too
Planning on doing this again sometime ?
Really enjoyed the footage .nice experiment. Amazing.
That's the best RC vid I've ever watch! You da man! 👍
