FPV Flight to Mike's House

[Alex063TLT]

Отстой . Апаратура полный хлам .

[MSJDesign]

Thats a 8.4 mile flight. Impressed.

[megamaster1011]

I live near an airforce base, and if I flew one of my larger more metallic planes with live monitors, they'd send cops.

[s14duma]

Win for the warbirds!

[timdoesnothaveapenis]

 whats the range on that thing?

[timdoesnothaveapenis]

DOPE

[xTvSxLaZer]

They have a full FPV setup on, Hobby wireless.C0m

[2020visionstudios]

Where do you get an FPV camera for RC planes? I can't find one anywhere!

[x7cj87]

@2020visionstudios I buy my stuff from hobbywireless

[MSJDesign]

@2020visionstudios fpvpilot.com google is a magical thing.

[rubiconyoufag]

find the softest area to land...you could have landed at the real airport infront of you :P

[x7cj87]

@rubiconyoufag right in front of me at the end was a gravel pit. There was a semi truck driving in as I was dying...

[mryellow123]

Why does everyone mount the camera on the top where the fuselage blocks everything? It's not a pilot......

[ddrlankyj]

@mryellow123 because mounting it on the bottom where it could get broken off would be kinda dumb

[luigi14444]

who is mike?

[studionightbird0]

music was bad...but I simply muted the video and played my own music and it was something really cool.

[ploetzlich30]

the good thing with a front propeller is, that you can allways see, if this this still spinning of not! i´d say two things are very important too - sound to hear whats going on, and a camera to watch the back of the plane (bird attack).

[2point0L]

@ploetzlich30 bird attacks suck, thats why i want EDF :)

[dolbydarma]

Just subscribed to your channel. I am new to FPV and used to live in your area (Apple Valley - now I live in Colorado). Great Video!

[whizbang47]

This is amazing! Flying rc from a car goes way back. Two guys in a Morgan flew a model across England in 1958. Maybe in the future this will be how we all fly in this hobby.

[pappywith4]

I wish you had ZERO music just flying

[Pilotsofer]

that's more than a mile

[GlassEyeProject]

Looks like your flying a F4U-4 ..... totally bitch'n !!!

[johanbipbop]

this video is awesome! although it would suck if your camera went out =P

[akai454]

 Very very cool, Kick Ass Man!!!

[imsker]

omg i hate this fcking song, rest's good

[dhmik1]

Wow, workload like a real pilot. Flying the plane and navigation (orientation) thats not easy. Have you lost the orientation for few moments during this flight? How long was the distance from your home to Mike´s home (pls in km :) )? Good job and - respect -! Now I will look for your other clips! Thank you

[smokytyrz]

How did you know which house was his? How many attempts did you do before this one?

[macrossner]

is your fpv also using 2.4ghz? is that what's causing visual distortion/snow?

[echelecopao]

Awesome. what was the distance traveled?

[Master7770]

What is the max range of an RC plane signal? In other words how far can you fly before you lose the signal and in turn control of your plane? I own a good bit of land and it would be cool to fly around it in FPV.

[x7cj87]

@Master7770 With my current setup that I am using now, which is a Futaba 7C 2.4Ghz. I've been told the stock range is about 1 mile line of sight. I have only flown about a mile and didn't push it much further than that. There are TX/RX's available that will allow 10+ miles of range with a few modifications. The video range is about 3 miles with the appropriate antenna configuration.

[hasnachos]

@x7cj87 what are tx's/rx's? transmitter receiver?? which ones are they?

[noreplyism]

@Master7770 The original RF transmitters will go at least 2 miles before getting twitchy. Obviously you would usually lose sight of the plane before you lost control of it because you can't see that far with your eyes but now FPV is cheap you can take full advantage of the range. Don't forget that the law states you MUST have sight of your RC craft at all times to prevent injury or damage to others..!

[MrFlame103]

that song is like a virus its EVERY WERE!!!!!!

[TheOneRaf]

what song is this?

btw, nice flight! because you landed out of destination does not mean failure ;)

[magicmike1122]

attempt #2 with your fpv twin easystar!

[infernodood3]

how did you see where you were going????

[x7cj87]

I was wearing 3D video goggles while my friend was driving the car.

[Reallaty]

FPV flight soon going to be used by terrorists

[lvsupertech]

Now thats what I call RC aircraft on the go!

[MrFlench]

NICE !!!!!

[Logan4real]

by far that is the coolest shit ever how do you do that

[spikedad11]

plz tell me what kit u r using i want to get itno this for under 300 and have no idea what to get plz help???

[x7cj87]

I spent well over 1200 for just the FPV video equipment. Making another $500 investment this year as well. Its definetely not a cheap hobby. $300 might get you into one of the smaller units or maybe some used gear.

[VoodooKiss77]

If you want to fly FPV go to open spaces!  We will be all banned very soon after the first serious crash in urban areas.

[Tony27nine]

It's stuff like this that will encourage people to make laws stopping FPV. If you have to be stupid - don't post it on YouTube and screw it for the rest of us!

[Macsgrafs]

jism

[sruminup]

love the Video, very gutsy, what kind of FPV equipment are you using?...

[lvsupertech]

FPV on the go great

[x7cj87]

I believe it is a small pond, frozen at this time of the year though

[spectrospirit]

Really great video!

But a lot of interference, but it worked.

You said that some sort of FPV have a 3 mile radius...?

Does that include heights to?

Would like to raid the area, and maybee cut out some pictures to, when i ever got the chance.

[icepunk12]

is the cam hooked up to the rudder ? is that how you are able to pan from side to side ?

-great vid

[x7cj87]

The camera pan control is hooked up to the flaperon knob on my controller and also capable of Head Tracking control. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

[lynlimer]

wow, what a range.

specs?

[w7mag]

Great!!!!

So is it easier to fly from a moving vehicle with

FPV or just looking up at the plane?

~Paul

[x7cj87]

Looking up at the plane is pretty easy, but I like the FPV method better, I think thats easier. Just follow the roads and have your spotter tell you when you get to far ahead.

[carlosthecactus]

That was superb! :D 5*

[PicTac]

we should do that again, but get to the destination.

[skiboyscuba]

You rock!!!

Mike

[0n3m1s1s0]

that was a wicked flight mate i was up in the air leaning into the turns and everything :D 5*

[x7cj87]

lol i bet, I just fixed the antenna interference situation I have been facing and the video going up tonight is great! Nice and clear video.

[0n3m1s1s0]

any info on what was causing it and what you did to fix t,i,a ;)

[x7cj87]

yeah the transmitter antenna jack broke when I crashed during my night flight. I had to re solder it in place, now it works great!

[skater95asm]

awesome man

[x7cj87]

thanks!

[cyberteque]

way cool!

where is this? it looks really flat, i didn't see a single hill anywhere!

Is the plane an F4-U7 Corsair?

Great flight! Great video!

Thanks!

[alishanmao]

Simply awesome mate :D I will try that too ;D

[x7cj87]

Thanks! So far this was my favorite FPV flight that I have done.

[alishanmao]

I am downloading this video and will keep it in my Best RC videos. THis was awesome dude.

[brohoop]

That is amazing!  Thanx for sharing!

[brohoop]

That was tooooooo cool!! I have ALWAYS wanted to do that!! I'm a little confused though. Was the view we see in the video the only view you used to make that historic flight?? Or were you watching your plane from your buddy's car??

[x7cj87]

Ok... Thanks for the comment! I flew the plane from the view you see in the video. My buddy was talking to me while I was flying keeping me informed as to where we were on the ground using landmarks. I did get pretty far ahead at one point.

[Erbalite]

Pretty cool man ! I was on the edge of my seat when the video signal would get hairy and you are over KFC!

[x7cj87]

lol, yeah next time I'll have to hit the drive-thru...

[mandykal]

perhaps you may want to invest on some solar panels and put it on the wings to assist battery.

[Shookum2004]

The laws of conservation of energy...

The weight it would cost to carry panels is the same as the energy the panels would create. You dont get free energy. LOL. But nice try

[x7cj87]

I said the samething years ago, now the technology to do things like this are available. Brings a whole to experience to the hobby!

[Pentecostal19]

Wow.. That was awesome! Was that a Corsair you were flying? Looks like it.. Also what song is this playing?

[euzzi]

ive always wanted to do that, that is hot!

[SleepingInsomniac19]

Awesome! How far away can you get from your plane with a signal? What kind of equipment do you have for the camera?

Also.. What song is that? :P

[mxf7010g8k]

he was driving with the plane so it would get out of range but normal is like 1000-2000 ft i guess maybe more
