@aaronredbaron lol... but all the cool osd stuff doesn't helped you in this case... knowing the range of your system is much better ;)
-
...Just missed the roof by the looks of it...
Good flight tho!
-
@aaronredbaron LOL it seemed as if the return-to-home indicator wasn't doing it's job!

ok
I had some similiar problem when power on my base droped below critical level.
Now have battery monitor :)

@lukisek76 thanks for the info. I have learned a lot about antenna's and wave propagation since I did this flight, and I now know the dipole on the tx was 90 degress out of polarization. But, the loss of this signal was not because of poor antenna orientation. I had a failure on my base station that led to a complete loss of the signal. Although the position was far from optimal, it worked perfectly fine at much greater distances than when I had my failure.

Are you looking for a better anti jam video transmission solution ? Just let me know... I proudly annouce a 21km succesfull distance flying with full rc+video transmission for anyone who would like to try a true professionnal solution at an affordable pricing...

What a great sound with the twin motors.
My twinstar also lies in ruins.

First person view of a Death Spiral! Great video!

wow amasing.. how did that happen?

Did you ever find the causes of the accident?
How did you work the pan-tilt on the webbie? it's pretty big. I've used the Aiptek A-HD+ 1080P HD on my twinstar and I love the quality, but I have to just wedge it in place (it fits perfectly in the foam cockpit). There is no way to pan-tilt it unless you used first-surface mirrors.

@BloomingtonFPV - I just mounted a servo on the camera for tilt (the webbie has a tilt head built in) and I pivot the whole camera laying flat.... worked out okay!

The Sony Webbie was recording the flight on the plane, and I was downlinking the video signal from there. When I lost video on the ground, the camera continues to record without a problem. Because of this you also don't get to see all my cool OSD stuff with altitude, airpseed, return to home indicator, battery info, etc....
