Radio controlled, R/C UAV fpv airplane onboard video: plane

[Barzubum]

Data rate???

[nbarile18]

Are you mad? Why the hell would you put this thing up at like 10,000 feet, if  it stalls its coming down on someones house or a plane could hit it.

[mojotweet]

Honestly, I understand some of your concerns, but I can't imagine the odds of a plane striking one of these to be more than 1/1,000,000,000

[rcplanes1234]

What range did you get on this?

[ad2181]

Reznikvova,

What max range acheived with the standard 900MHz 500mW transmitter using the receiver with its standard antenna?

Thank you

[kettech16]

thats like 5000+ feet high?

[mrleenagle]

hey paul fuck off you wanker!!!!

[therealheavyj]

anything on field tested range?

[paulflyer]

@therealheavyj Now you are right, it i not illegal to ignore these suggetions.. but you will be in viloation of CFR 91.13 careless and reckless operation of a aircraft. You are ignoring common sence.

[tracym427]

Is it illigal per the FAA?, thought that some of the fpv sites said you could go 400 feet legaly(yes I know that looks higher than 400 feet) IDK, just asking..

[therealmasterpilot]

Also. How high can you get it?

[therealmasterpilot]

What's the range on the video feed?

[ektrules]

Yeah, what is the range? In the specs for this system, under range, they only have a link to this video. But this video doesn't tell you the range? WTF?

[Munty102]

What os the actual range in miles can this sytem transmit video

[atari7202]

are you using a spectrum DX7 er what?

[flyit808]

Great video, very clear! I have a RV 900mhz 500mw setup and get horizontal interference lines on the video...running separate batteries for video. Have a look at my videos, any suggestions?

[pnowicki]

Hey. I got the XPS system and a RV 900mhz 500mw tx as yours, but I can't get my XPS system to work at anywhere near that range with the Vtx on. How did you position your gear to make it work.

[axolotyls]

Is this the 900Mhz unit that the FCC just forced you to stop selling?

[KH198]

I want to fly this thing, can you stream it live on a web site or something?

[scolen3]

r u retarded?

[tnick2]

it would be totally possible to stream the video signal live if you had an internet connection at the airfield.

[JRBeaman]

@scolen3

No you are.

Of course you can do that. It's easy.

Use video feed from receiver to laptop video plugin and wi-fi Internet connection.

[dinarchus]

How far can this system go?

[chrisfev01]

You aircraft is really high in the vid. Are you beyond vivual range flying with FPV using goggles?

[krbosak]

he has remote spotters in nearby baloons so he is always flying within visual range as the law requires.

[NitroBlastSnorter]

I yet to get arrested for flying my RC too high/far in FPV. LOL! And yes, I take advantage of the 3+ km range of 1000mw systems.

[paulflyer]

What if you kill someone in a airplane? What your doing is dangerous to people who fly. If you dont think a 5lb model will go through a GA airplanes windshield, you are ignorant. BTW you wont get arrested, A civil fine from the FAA is what will happen.

[helipilot727]

These are not 5lb models, they are styrofoam and much much lighter than that. Flying out of traffic patterns is obviously a good idea... I am a pilot too and I understand the concern, but a thermalling buzzard is more dangerous than these models.

[paulflyer]

@helipilot727 , true, I looked up the weight of a slow stick. it is about a pound without the camera setup.Have you seen the idiots flying 40 sized trainers with these cameras? Do you want one of these hitting your rotors? These people have no regard to the possible danger they put others in. This is illegal per the FAA. I know I would not want to hit a 40 sized trainer @ 160 knots.

[Thetruthhurtstheleft]

@paulflyer

So keep your eyes open. I promise to fly only planes that are big enough for you to see. 15'+ span and very bright colors.

[therealheavyj]

@paulflyer "This is illegal per the FAA" - you have no idea what you are talking about.

[paulflyer]

@therealheavyj Call your neighborhood FAA Flight Standards District Office and ask them if you don't trust me. Ask for a Operations Aviation Safety Inpector. Then ask him to explain AC 91-57, how it is the modelers responcibility to see and avoid full scale aircraft. It is also the modelers responcibility to fly at or below 400 feet.

[malakovich69]

@paulflyer Advisory circulars are non-regulatory and as the intro says, "voluntary" and "good practice." but not illegal.

[reznikvova]

900mhz video transmitter

2.4GHZ radio link

[qrrak]

is it 900 mhz or 2.4 ghz??????

[gbukUSA]

Wow, that plane was high

[lvsupertech]

Hello reznikvova; I have seen the equipment at Range Air site. I use currently 2.4 GHZ on my planes. Are you using Range Airs patch antenna on RX 8 DBI? Is this on 900 MHZ? Also is it better not so line of sight?

[Gabriel2584]

2.4

[Gabriel2584]

have you erver tried a 1watt tx with an 8dbi patch antenna? if so, how would you compare to the system you are using in this video?

[reznikvova]

1 watt on which frequency?
