@jodini5 Dude, when you look up Dork in the dictionary there should be a picture of me in this get up next to it. My wife tells me that the" for better or worse" part of our vows does not cover this.
@jmdejoanelli It is easier to mount it there, I found that the closer it got to the ground the better the reception. That position is the best for the type of flying I do with the system. I fly with my back to the planes general location.
I don't see why people want to fly so bad but they don't. My first plane was so small when I brought it to airshows people thought it was a model, lol.. seriously though. But why do all this, is there a fear of flying but still a dream of it?
You are thinking about this way too much my friend.
I originally created this as a search and rescue tool. I have been building and flying Radio Controlled aircraft for 30 years and enjoy pushing the limits.
@buzzy1147 W....T....F Fear? It's a hobby. Even if people wanted to go flying for real. Do you actually realise the expenses of rent a plane for an hour or so costs more than one decent model aircraft with a transmitter and parts. You also can't just hop into an aircraft and expect to be allowed to go flying without proper training and licencing. Yours truly. Pilot, Aircraft enthusiast, RC flyer.
@FPVFLIGHTSCHOOL Ok :) I am building one a bit similar using military equipment belt suspenders for joystick desk (like in "connect a desk" -laptop holder).
That set up sounds awesome, tell him to put some Expo mix into the pan channel so it is less sensitive around the center of the joy stick movement. This will prevent the pan servo moving alot when giving pitch and roll inputs with the joy stick.
My friend has a setup in the back of his SUV where there is a joystick and a throttle, however the joystick alters camera pan, and the throttle does wok. He also hooked his camera receiver to a small tv via a VGA cable and he can use it all from the back of his truck. Very cool, but the joystick not working yet is a disappointment.
Very cool ! Upload a video feed of the first person view please ! Next, devise a catapult system to allow take off from small area such as suburban yard or rooftop with retrieval using a large net such as that used to capture raptors from the wild and you may just create a mass market for the ultimate video game.
@thruid3 Take a look at the up loaded videos on my Channel, I have a few from the plane itself. The system is hand launched, no need for a catapult, as far as landing goes no need for a net at all. The plane weighs about 3 and 1/2 pounds and flys for an hour or so. It is very quiet.

@majch I agree 100%, I am kicking around the idea of making a cockpit out of coroplast that my 11 year old son could sit inside of. I could use a 15 inch LCD TV as the monitor and he would be inclosed in a dark cockpit with the TV as the canopy view to fly with. How cool would that be?:)
@12ock I thought about making an RC combat system that could operate out of a Van where 2 players could Dog Fight from inside the van using video screens. With the new auto-pilots and flight stabilization I could teach 2 people to fly very quickly. Then set up the aircrafts to fly no lower then 100 and no higher then 350 feet AGL and no further then 2500 feet Line of Sight away. If the aircraft got out of that area the auto-pilot takes over and returns them to the battle zone.
@majch The cockpit has already been done, just type in Project Cyclops RPV. It was my father's. Your setup is less to lug out to the field. Nice job again.
@kwikscopeguy How can you say this is "not having a life" when I am sure he enjoys every minute of what he does? "Having a life" is doing what you love to do most so don't judge this man.
@kwikscopeguy I don't care how nerdy this is.. it's freaking awesome! If I had a few extra bucks kicking around, and a kid, I would totally be down to share this hobby with him like this guy does.
@aliander8 Yes I can, at the time I made this video I was still in the testing stage. I can twist the stick to make the camera pan to the right and left.
Thank you for sharing! No offense, but kinda wishing you would publicize a bit more. I mean with role models like athletes & poor little rich kids, it's no wonder why kids' culture today is circling the drain. I, for one, enjoy sharing these types of hobbies with my son. BUT the optimist in me says, better that other kids are dumb as rocks: less job competition for my boy :) After all, someone has to bag our groceries... (Oh, it's terrible for me to think that! LOL) Anyway, thanks again!
@nyehnyi Rich? I wish, I build everything myself to keep the costs down. I also got rid of my TV 8 years ago, you would be surprised at how much spare time you have when you don't waste it watch the garbage on American TV.
@jacob3800 The plane is equipped with a GPS for Return to Home Fail Safe. If the plane looses it's Radio Control link for what ever reason it simply turns itself around and heads back to where it was launched from at a per set altitude (300'). If I loose the video link I can activate the Return to Home function with a switch. The first thing I go on every flight is to get it up to a safe altitude and distance out and test the Return to Home function. It really works awesome.
@GlobalAerialMedia How far can it usually go away from you before it requires this Return to Home Fail Safe feature (in other words losing connection to your equipment)?
You can spend the same amount of money on both hobbies if your willing to shop around. I could put together an FPV bird and ground station for a one time 700$. My roomate spends cash like that on greens fees alone per year. I guess if you inherit clubs and play on free courses you might be able to spend less, but it's really not that pricey. A foamie plane and remote can cost you under 100$ just to fly. The camera gear to do most of what he's doing should run you about 600$.
Very Cool! I'm glad there are people like you who push the envelope in every way doing cool things like this. I'm just on the verge of making the switch over to total FPV in the Hexakopter. Haven't been able to make myself totally rely on FPV yet though. I am still peeking under the goggles. If you have any advice on making the switch I'm all ears...
@assmunch1 Use a spotter who knows how to fly multicopters and buddy box. Fly in an open field that you feel comfortable at and don't worry about crashing it, you can always fix it again.
Do a google search on "Verizon Wireless Copter Test" and tell me what you think of that.
Firstly, LOVE your work! - I myself am just getting into FPV - I'm building a quad.-copter. Question about the RC to Joystick controls though - I understand your using a cable between the TX and the joystick - I need to figure out how you did this, as some people say its hard to do, others say link your joystick to your laptop, then your TX to the laptop and calibrate the stick and bingo! - but your not USING a laptop so HOW did you do it? great work!
@ANZACRECON Thank you for the kind words. The Joy stick has been modified to put out a PPM signal. It is then simply plugged into the Trainer Plug on the back of the TX.
just come across this awesome adaptation of RC.. what is the price-range on stuff needed? i got a camera, so i dont need that atleast.. video-sender, video reciever, and monitor i guess.. whats the range like on these things.. seen some guys flying over clouds etc:-)
@mmontalbettiv Your concern for my ass is touching but no need for you to loss sleep over it. Those are only receivers on my Back Pack, not transmitters so there is no danger from RF. By the way do you have a wireless modem in your home?
oh, and by the way... I love RC sailplanes... my dream is stuffing my 4 meter wingspan Alpina with an FPV autonomous system and fly the plane as far as I can... maybe someday...
Did you make the suit yourself, or is it an adapted backpack, etc.. ? I dig the functionality. Why the choice of FM radio if you don't mind my asking? The long TX antenna seems like it's at risk.
Instead of the cup holder recommended earlier, I suggest one of those hats that holds 2 soda cans with a tube to your mouth. ;)
@8180634 I used a Military Tactical Vest and made a frame that holds the antennas. I have since converted to a 2.4GHz Free Sky RC System. I still like 72MHz for it's range and propagation.
this is crazy- im in air force pilot training right now and it's all of our worst nightmare to get an rpa and have to fly like this. i can't believe people actually spend money to fly their own little version of rpa's. pretty cool but i would rather be sitting in the cockpit
@dustin3580 FPV is NOT the place to begin RC for newbies. one should not even THINK about flying FPV until one has the experience in RC AND with the plane that will be used for FPV so that flying feels like natural second nature. If that plane does not feel like an extension of YOU then do NOT put cams/etc on it. You will lose it all with nasty quick precision. RC/FPV are earned skills.
Will this be how Parent's send their Kids to School in 3-Years,,;) Wounder how many lithium cells that would take, Show me a Solar Powered Glider that can Maintain Flight and give me 35-C Lithium-Cell Pwr burst, , , that should just about do it for My Wish-List in high Tech RC Toys,, I can dream can't I' !! Lol's
Is there such a thing as Night Flying Gliders in Low Clouds?
I am Very Curious to see that Perspective, don't we all wish we could fly in them late at night,, must be Beautiful!!
@201wrestler I fly from the goggles so I simply turn around and point the patch at the plane. If the video get weak I turn a little till it clears up.
@FPVFLIGHTSCHOOL he was probably on the High School computer, cutten and blazing grass, "N.P.Intended! Saving up for his 1st Laptop,, Jealously is a Sad illness/Symptom/Envy, , , to go Hate'En other people ((Experimenting)) with their Hobby's Limits! Isn't current available RC-Technology additive !(==)!. Watch out @FPVstarGate you just might get sucked up by a Govt. NASA/UFO,, Amazing Inventiveness you're showing USa!! Looking forward to a Full Moon 3:00 AM Cloud flight Next!!
@FPVFLIGHTSCHOOL LOL! It does look pretty ridiculous : ).. But its still cool as shit, and I'd love to have a similar setup.. But I know this stuff aint cheap!!
Lol where'd you get those video goggles, the nineteen-eighties? Seriously though, they look pretty huge; did you make your own high def goggles or something? That was always one of my major beefs with fpv is that the commercial goggles are so low res and have small screen sizes, but then I didn't think it would be easy to transmit a high def signal over range easily.
@BaitCaister You are a joker, anyone can't fly a plane. I have seen many people crash on maiden, first time flyers. Also flying fpv is very different. Learn to think before you speak.....

Also forgot to ask, how do you like the joystick as compared to the traditional 2-stick TX?

@8180634 I really like the Joystick, it is very easy to fly with.

Did you make the suit yourself, or is it an adapted backpack, etc.. ? I dig the functionality. Why the choice of FM radio if you don't mind my asking? The long TX antenna seems like it's at risk.
Instead of the cup holder recommended earlier, I suggest one of those hats that holds 2 soda cans with a tube to your mouth. ;)
8180634 7 months ago
@8180634 I used a Military Tactical Vest and made a frame that holds the antennas. I have since converted to a 2.4GHz Free Sky RC System. I still like 72MHz for it's range and propagation.

this is crazy- im in air force pilot training right now and it's all of our worst nightmare to get an rpa and have to fly like this. i can't believe people actually spend money to fly their own little version of rpa's. pretty cool but i would rather be sitting in the cockpit

how much this kinda stuff cost? I that is something i would really like to start doing. :-)
dustin3580 7 months ago
@dustin3580 FPV is NOT the place to begin RC for newbies. one should not even THINK about flying FPV until one has the experience in RC AND with the plane that will be used for FPV so that flying feels like natural second nature. If that plane does not feel like an extension of YOU then do NOT put cams/etc on it. You will lose it all with nasty quick precision. RC/FPV are earned skills.

@201wrestler I fly from the goggles so I simply turn around and point the patch at the plane. If the video get weak I turn a little till it clears up.

2 part question:
Is that a WLAN panel on your butt?
Do you have to fly with the plane behind you for that to work?

What google is these? Looks different from everything I have seen so far.
Do you have headtracking?
I wounder if it's possible to use headtracking together with joystick, have you done it?

Are either of those antennae for a 2.4 mhz TX? or are they both RX ant?
2.4mhz is close to microwave wave length.. but you don't seem to be worried about cancer.
.
The patch on your butt is optimized in the wrong direction, unless you face away from your model.
Cool project though.

This is great! So much more natural to fly using a joystick and throttle lever than the standard 2 stick rc system.

Lol where'd you get those video goggles, the nineteen-eighties? Seriously though, they look pretty huge; did you make your own high def goggles or something? That was always one of my major beefs with fpv is that the commercial goggles are so low res and have small screen sizes, but then I didn't think it would be easy to transmit a high def signal over range easily.
Seriously though nice looking setup.

@BaitCaister You are a joker, anyone can't fly a plane. I have seen many people crash on maiden, first time flyers. Also flying fpv is very different. Learn to think before you speak.....
