AliShanMao Beginners FPV Guide Part I -- Prologue

[mchelios]

You stated that it's actually easier to fly an rc-plane as FPV than it is to stand on the ground looking at the plane. Is that true for helicopters as well?

[alishanmao]

@mchelios Yup totally :D

[ZuluVXL]

I really appreciate your instructional videos. They were very helpful when I was learning to fly. Thank you!

[StewieRc]

Ali you should do a RC truck FPV, that would be cool/

[alishanmao]

@StewieRc hmm my rampage XT is ready to bash again, thinking to stick my 5.8g on it and use All in one flytech goggles to see how far I can get the video

[StewieRc]

@alishanmao probably not far since your RX is so low to the ground, but i think itis cool to drive like a mad men.

[nerfdefenseman]

Ali, is that ur baby? He/she (i dont know which one) looks so nice with the hat on!

[StewieRc]

@nerfdefenseman thats his son,

[alishanmao]

@nerfdefenseman in the outro yes he is my baby

[FlyHighRC386]

Awesome video Ali :) by far the most informative video from you yet :) and i think the way you point out that fpv flying is real just with your ass on the ground is the simplest and best way to put fpv across lol. Liked

[alishanmao]

@FlyHighRC386 true :D no need to put our asses on risk right

[TheMagicmole77]

Awesome, thanks for the guide! :D

[DrDimk0o]

Hey Ali, i am sure you are familiar with the dragonlink... can you please say what frequency it works at and whether it is dangerous for life since its so powerful? are there any legal regulations?

Thanks! Keep up the work)

[alishanmao]

@DrDimk0o well all the specs can be found on Dragonlink site. its a UHF system so should be working on 433mhz or so i believe

[alishanmao]

@DrDimk0o in what sense it can be dangerous to life mate?

[DrDimk0o]

@alishanmao well the system is very powerful and i was just wondering..

[jdkrs19]

FPV A RC CAR! No offense, but I'm tired of air flying vehicles

[alishanmao]

@jdkrs19 problem is we do not get good signals on ground to go even 100 meter without loosing videos. but worth a try

[jdkrs19]

@alishanmao Yay!!! mention my name when you do it? XD lol

[DirkME1022]

Nice Idea Ali, thanks for doing this guide :-))

[marlonhaines]

I'm not into R/C airplane but can you fpv R/C trucks. Thanks

[TheMagicmole77]

@marlonhaines Of course you can

[sandrinovola]

you are crasy.....but fun...!!!!

[blackmennewstyle]

It's always a pleasure to discover at the end of my day a new video of Ali "Skywalker" ShanMao ! I look forward to the next video !

[magetpr]

You are the best Ali!!! Thanks so much for all your efforts!

[Doofensberger]

Awesome video Ali, and very good source of info :)

[Doofensberger]

although link at 3.25 should be fpvuk not fpv-uk

[alishanmao]

@Doofensberger corrected with annotations

[cavaleiro01]

Great! Thanks, AliShanMao!

[UtubeAdminSucksAss]

lol ... more flying Ali.

[icewolfy1]

I want to ask one question because I've been wondering for a while how you do it.

When you have your video goggles on, how do you track your plane so that the patch antenna points at the plane? Do you peek through the goggles to see where your looking at?

[alishanmao]

@icewolfy1 nops, its just i am the pilot so i know which way the plane went. after that its just turning left or right slightly when video starts distorting. when video gets cleared at one point, I stay there. when plane is coming back of course i can see myself and decide to let it pass front of me so I can follow the sound of propeller and turn with the plane. takes a bit of practice though. turning is good, tilting is a pain in the ass lol

[dmerc00]

Very interesting! Tell me more.

[AJNism]

ALI Would you use FPV on Heli?

[alishanmao]

@AJNism yup gonna do it soon

[catamaranman333]

This is a great thing you are doing!

[cayote64]

Hi Ali, nice vid, cheers for the FPVUK shout, but the address has no - between fpv and uk :)

[alishanmao]

@cayote64 yeah realized it :( I will add an annotations there for correction

[cayote64]

Thank you so much for giving us this information

[rcheliflyer100]

will a Cessna 182 work?



[alishanmao]

@rcheliflyer100 yes 500 class cessna can easily carry a good payload and you can fit the camera with pan inside cockpit for real feeling :D

[youronlycow]

Great person Alishan!

[MarcosCOD4]

Thanks man, very professional!

[alishanmao]

@MarcosCOD4 ah, i feel still there is lot to be included but then, there is tons and tons and tons of stuff to talk about, and that will make this a forever series

[Peanutdinos3000]

1:48  I lost it...

[alishanmao]

@Peanutdinos3000 u need to read my guide then

[DAMIENloh1970]

Ali, for beginners to FPV, is it common to experience motion sickness?

[alishanmao]

@DAMIENloh1970 i do not think there will be motion sickness but some people suffer from eye strains and headaches due to goggles Field of View or two screen angles not matching their eyes and distance between two eyes. but its rare

[aceflyernz]

@DAMIENloh1970 Yes you can, I have taken people up who suffer from motion sickness with a second set of goggles and it can affect them.

[Hewey19]

Why don't you have heat?

[alishanmao]

@Hewey19 stupid builders never thought that it will get this cold here.LOL. this is supposed to be a bit like tropic area. used to be real warm and nice 6 years ago

[zederish]

Ali you starting to look like Taliban

[UtubeAdminSucksAss]

@zederis If you lived in my area you would think Ali was Amish. lol

[alishanmao]

@zederish hahaha wait till my beard is a bit longer. I will then ask my father to send me taliban dress and a turban. all the video reviews and flights videos will be done in that outfit then. hahahaha that will be fun. Maybe I can change the Channel name then too. Taliban RC Reviews :D
