FPV RiteWing Zephyr II ZII Low Flying and up to 8700 feet!

[usarmyfl1]

I don't see how they can catch you though lol

[usarmyfl1]

Epic stuff... Very cool.

[rockyFLYR]

@usarmyfl1 thanks 

[fighter5347]

Do you need a permission to fly FPV? Because we in austria have to get a permission -.-

[rockyFLYR]

@fighter5347 no i dont 

[fighter5347]

@rockyFLYR I want to live where you live XD

[rockyFLYR]

@fighter5347 haha y its nice!

[usarmyfl1]

@fighter5347 I think if you fly on 5.8ghz you need a HAM license in the us, Which isn't hard to get just gota do some class.

[HigherFlyer420]

Heart is pounding, but spirits are SOARING! That was So beautiful man. Im just now finding this fpv world, but already im dreaming about it (literally). Any advise you would like to give to a beginner looking to begin peiceing together all the parts nessesasry to go far? Thanks again! Love your work. <3

[usarmyfl1]

@HigherFlyer420 I hear you.. Amazing stuff for sure, its a rush just watching.. I can't wait to dip my feet into the fpv world!

[yz426clint]

what vid on your overview called?is it overview

[rockyFLYR]

@yz426clint ZII final build"

[chrisquez7]

Yes wen I was a kid my family an me went there a million times we use to call that beach "medio camino" half way

[rockyFLYR]

@chrisquez7 haha thats awesome 

[chrisquez7]

Is this near rosarito mx, half way to ensenada,?

[rockyFLYR]

@chrisquez7 ya it is do you know it?

[kd8opi]

Absolutely sick. Great music too. Reading some posts form others on here, be careful with directional antennas. The greater the gain, the narrower the beam. Get too far away, off beam, kiss your gear goodbye.

[rockyFLYR]

@kd8opi i use my 14dbi patch and a frind to track the plane works great

[yz426clint]

dude hook up a parts list!!!!!

[rockyFLYR]

@yz426clint i have a overview video

[jesen84]

Simply amazing! Thanks for sharing

[flowerpoweryou]

Hi rocky ,i'm going to buy Zephyr II do you recommend the ritewing motor combo from readymaderc for this plane or a hobbyking motor combo.

[rockyFLYR]

@flowerpoweryou ya thats what i have on it

[r00bin]

The song is Lana Del Rey - Born To Die (Gemini Remix) :) thumbs up for others to see

[boomanfabo31]

wow... amazing.... what kind of video range do you think I would get with a 1000mw video Tx and 8dbi patch antenna.

How old are you?

[rockyFLYR]

@boomanfabo31 i wouldent go over 500mW but over 4 miles i cant say for sure it depends on how you set it all up

[boomanfabo31]

@rockyFLYR Why not over 500mw

[boomanfabo31]

@rockyFLYR Why not over 500mw

[rockyFLYR]

@boomanfabo31 well you can use whatever you want but over that causes more problems

[usarmyfl1]

That is awesome man.. That's gota be a bit of a rush, beautiful scenery.. I liked the build vids too. Gjob.

[rockyFLYR]

@usarmyfl1 ya it is thanks

R.I.P. GoPro

[rockyFLYR]

@birdmann112 haha 

[Velislide]

Best FPV video I've seen to date. And awesome music selection. :D Thinking about building a USAF Drone style UAV for FPV. Would be a neat project. Was thinking of eventually going FPV with my heli, but honestly, looks much more fun on a plane.

[SHAWZY1973]

WOW! Just thinking about getting into flying and FPV.... Now i'm well and truly sold!!!! INSPERATIONAL Vid, thank you so much for sharing.

[rockyFLYR]

@SHAWZY1973 cool thanks

[kiwidecon]

Great vid - into FPV will definitely try Z2. Have just bought the conversion kit for SuperSkywalker from a mate in NZ - very exciting times. I am sure he is going to put it on You Tube this year. Keep up the great work - Have you re-done the stunt yet?

[rockyFLYR]

[BennybumfIuff]

Gday from Aus, Im building a Z2 at the moment, I decided not to get Chris's Go Pro box and make my own cor flute camera box so I can keep my go pro in its housing. Seeing your smashed lens makes it feel like a wise choice. Thanks again and keep the vids coming

[rockyFLYR]

@BennybumfIuff ya i would recomend keeping it in the case

[antonyarnanova]

Sup Rocky...Hello from New Zealand! love the vids...thinking bot buyin a Zep 2...its alot of kiwi dollars though...how good are they? kinda getting bored wif my Skywalker

[rockyFLYR]

@antonyarnanova well depends on how you fly the zephyr is fast and heavy so no room for mistakes but it does fly great

[terrorboy007]

How can I buy a good plane, and track it, and videotape where I'm going?

[rockyFLYR]

@terrorboy007 uhm buy all the gear

[Pierto34]

Hi Rocky!

Super Video, i love them :-)

Already bought the USB camera you recommend on ebay, but now i don't know how to transmit video from the USB to the Video Transmitter?

How do you proceed for that??

Any specific cable?, converter??

Just starting the FPV, your help will be highly appreciated!! :-)

[rockyFLYR]

@Pierto34 well you need a video tx a video rx and a camara and something to watch the video on like goggles or a screen

[bigsugar999]

spectacular !

[alfst]

[rockyFLYR]

@alfst well almoast hd range is over 2 miles ;)

[Roeney89]

[mxf7010g8k]

[rockyFLYR]

@mxf7010g8k thanks dude!

[mtbtom7]

Awesome video, well done. with the low-flying, have you considered running the video through an image stabilizer, such as the one in adobe after effects?

[rockyFLYR]

@mtbtom7 ya i dont really like how it looks with image stabilizer it feels fake to me

[JulioGB2010]

WONDERFUL VIDEO. What is the name of this place?.....its awesome!

[rockyFLYR]

@JulioGB2010 its baja california mexico

[astronutski]

Also, are you flying 72 MHz? What's your video freq?

[rockyFLYR]

[astronutski]

Love the video, great job! Love the music, and love the timing of editing, all around great work. Awesome FPV flying, looks so fun. I'm currently building my first FPV Quad, jumping in the deep end :-) Sure to have some crashes soon LOL.

Looking forward to more videos from you!

[rockyFLYR]

@astronutski thanks i love flying my fpv tricopter its really fun to be able to stop and look at stuff

[Flightsimize]

This is a very nice video!! How did you lose your Gopro??

[rockyFLYR]

@Flightsimize thanks. i didnt lose it i just broke it

[wettfeat]

@rockyFLYR did your gopro fall from 8700ft? also what other cameras other than the GoPro would you recommend for attaching to RC planes for stuff like this?

[rockyFLYR]

@wettfeat no it broke in the crash and i havent used any other camara so i cant really recomend i guess if you are on the cheap a #11 hd keychain camara is okay

[drewstaism]

Thanks again mate....im gonna send you some gold nuggets rockyFLYR. No-one does this in Western Australia yet and the potential for mineral exploration here and worldwide is infinite!!

[rockyFLYR]

@drewstaism haha awesome i could use some gold!

[opticell]

Amazing footage, I saw your video about gopro, wish there were better sources for those expensive repair parts. I ordered my ZII for flying around the Wasatch front here in Utah, can't wait to get and setup. Please if you would, the part number and webpage (link I guess) of your 1300KV motor (and is it 8mm shaft?), and if you bought a folding prop, that too. Thanks and Keeprflying.

[rockyFLYR]

@opticell no its 5mm and i dont know just ask chris for the ritewing motor and esc combo 1300kv and no folding prop i use a 9x6

[RuslanAvia]

the name of the music in the clip?

[rockyFLYR]

@RuslanAvia its Lana Del Rey - Born To Die (Gemini Remix)

[fpvflyr]

Lana Del Rey - Born To Die (Gemini Remix)

[UKPete007]

Awesome video!, shame about your GoPro, it was worth it though!.

[GreenAce92]

Questions for you:

What is the wattage and KV rating of your motor?

Battery?

AUW and flight time?

Time it takes to climb 8700ft?

[rockyFLYR]

@GreenAce92 its a 1300kv motor 2x4cell 3000mah batts auw is 4lbs 10 ounces flight time is 20+ depending on how i fly and les than 10 minutes to 8000 feet

[Norredam]

8700 ft? I hope you made a call to ATC making sure that nobody was flying in that area!

[rockyFLYR]

@Norredam ya where i fly there is a no fly zone for full scale so no wories

[goten6]
