4-7-11 @ the "field off 19th", testing the recently secured EagleEyes ground station module. This amazing little gadget does many things but for now the focus is upgrading my ground station to dual 900mHz audio/video RX's.

While the EagleEyes antenna pant/tilt was also acquired it is currently static, not yet tracking the plane in the sky. At altitude the signals seem much cleaner, switching between receivers is seamless.

The superimposed cockpits are a result of being board :-)

Plane Detail:
Multiplex Easystar plane powered by a HiMax 2,000kv BL motor and a Castle 36amp speed controller. Flight system powered by 11.1v 2200mAh Li-Po 20C, Video systems runs on 610mAh Li-Po 30C. Plane has rudder mod and Airscape landing gear. The FPV pod and pan/tilt system on the plane were home made of a durable black plastic and house a RMRC-540 OSD camera from ReadyMade RC. Audio/Video signal sent via 900mHz 500mw TX.

Ground Station:
EagleEyes ground station module, ReadyMadeRC EagleEyes antenna pan/tilt system, 2x 900mHz RX utilizing 1x 8dB patch antenna and 1x 3dB rubber ducky antenna atop a tripod. Flights are viewed/captured on a laptop using EasyCap 2.0 usb audio/video interface.

Bench Mark Legend:
Altitude: 350 feet
Distance: 0.50 miles
Flight Time: 25 minutes (plane could have kept going!)
These will be fun benchmarks to push as my gear and skill improves.

  • Rex600 = The song is "War Pigs" a Black Sabbath cover performed by Sacred Reich.

    airbus = yes it is a digitally overlayed cockpit.

    roelwieggers = Thanks!

    statezooyork = I would agree the vid is too long with to much time spent on the overlay. There are other videos I've posted without it ; -)

  • Kool! Bumpy ride.

  • you forgot to push play on the road runner movie miip miiip!!

  • where there any survivors ? in the crash. cool idea !

  • @ACMEFPV sorry - but the quality of the tv-picture iss xxxxxx

  • :-)) Nice idea!

  • That was cool. How do i get the cockpit view on my videos?

  • Als man ein Auto vor eine Leinwand stellte und so den Eindruck erweckte es wäre echt, war das eine tolle Idee, aber das hier ist ja nix.

  • If this is the view from a cessna cockpit.. The pilot will be VERY nervous –and the passenger might have been on the floor. Vomiting. Ha!

    Anyway.. good idea to layer a cockpit view. Will probably do the same on some of mine :D
