ive done some non fpv ariel vids with a flycamone which weighs about an ounce. for fpv though, would it be better to use a more powerful glow engine plane (.25 engine, 55in span) or would the xtreme be better? i dont want to modify my xtreme. thanks and good vid
Hi Pete, I have an Aerobird Xtreme and I was hoping to get fpv flying. What set up did you use? I have been trawling video clips trying to get an idea.
The Xtreme's a good plane. But adding the add'l weight of gear (about 220g) makes it much more challenging to fly! I use Future Hobbies gear: 520 line camera, 500 or 1000mW 2.4GHz xmitter, and a small 11.1V Lipo battery. For receiving, I use their old diversity unit, two 8dbi patch antennas, and the old-style video goggles. I record into my laptop in the field. The original video is much better than here. Hope that helps!
