FPV - Team Echelon - Skywalker Formation Flying: Volume #2

Practice flight testing our systems in formation at longer range while maintaining below 200', both using a 5.8G video link and Scherrer systems. I lose signal 2 times due to me blocking the signal with my body. A simple position adjustment settles the problem.

Because this was the first flight out on this path we stayed a ways apart to test the systems together. We both have return to home capabilities if we either lose radio link or choose to manually engage if there was picture loss.

The motor audio is helpful to hear when in flight to monitor onboard sounds as well as compare to Randy who's using the same motor (which sound the same at the same RPM). We also use the same prop so the power system is matched on each plane.

Use RTH?

@NavFPV - Yes both use RTH, Eagle Tree ;-)

Well, you can't fly using the same freq, but there are a range of available freqs under the "5.8" umbrella and we are using an individual freq each under that bigger band.

Which OSD do  you use?

[calidave88]

@secondgear26 - We use the Eagle Tree OSD

[BankheadRC]

you guys were flying on the same frequency 5.8 GHz didn't know you could do that.
