Multiplex EDF Fox HD FPV test

Heavily stripped Full HD Sony MHS-PM1 camera with wide angle conversion on MPX Fox with 50mm EDF.
Getting better... still not perfect yet, the power system is inefficient and the motor gets too hot (I actually lost the fan at the end of the flight, the motor axle got so hot it melted the fan center). Motor has now been replaced, and battery changed from 2s to 3s accordingly. Seems I now get about the same thrust but with 40% less consumption and safe continuous operation, however for a 10gr penalty, bringing AUW to 150gr. That's gonna be really tight, hopefully new test soon.

The prop version is of course much better and flexible for normal FPV flight, but the goal here was to go HD, and EDF was the best solution to avoid the CMOS prop effect and vibration the HD cam suffered from on the prop version.

Beat me to edf fpv! Btw the dips of the rpm a few times, is that esc related? Timing?  Still very cool!

[kilrahvp]

I think the dips are due to the fan scratching the duct because of the motor shaft getting hot and the plastic becoming soft.... not sure though. Shouldn't have that issue with the new motor, we'll see.
