FPV Air Rage 2, RC Plane Onboard Camera Danube Tower Vienna Austria Skyscraper City Building muni86

One of the best single FPV flights!!!
After crashing my FPV helicopter, I got in rage again..... ;-)
Sorry about the interference, I've installed a second ferrite ring. But the video and the power cables were too close to each other maybe, resulting in a worse picture quality.
No problems with the GPS this time, I think the GPS receiver has to be mounted in a vertical position.

Wikipedia:
The Vienna Donauturm (English: Danube Tower), opened in April 1964, is the tallest free-standing structure in Austria, at 252 metres (827 ft), the tallest structure in Austria, and among the 75 tallest towers in the world. The tower is located near the north bank of the Danube River in the district of Donaustadt.
The Donauturm spire carries antennas of cellular phone networks, private VHF radio stations and several other radio communication services. Despite its similarity to TV towers elsewhere, it has not been used for TV broadcasting.
Two revolving restaurants (at a height of 160 and 170 metres, or 525 and 558 ft) offer a varied view over the Austrian capital and the Danube River below. It takes the platform either 26, 39 or 52 minutes to complete a full revolution. The restaurants were originally largely identical; however, now the top is an "upscale" restaurant (named "Donauwalzer") and the lower restaurant is a café (named "Panorama").
The observation deck also bears a bungee-jumping site, with a platform projecting from the area. It is used at times during the summer months.

1x Robbe FS61 BB Speed pan servo for the camera, moving with a controller stick
Thunder Tiger ACE RC BLC-40 ESC, 40A, Settings: Airplane Mode, Fast Throttle Response, Standard Timing, Light Discharge Protection, No Brake
ACE RC OBL 29/35-10H brushless outrunner, 3500kv
Graupner airscrew coupling diameter 3,15mm
Graupner CAM Speed Prop 4.7 x 4"
max. current approx. 34 A
Thunder Power ProLite V2 3s 11.1V 2600mAh 20C LiPo battery (weighs only 188g!!!) or RockAmp 3s 11,1V 2200mAh 30C LiPo battery (193g but very powerful!!!)
Multiplex RX-7 SYNTH DS IPD 40 MHz PPM receiver, 3.5m antenna (Lambda/2)
Graupner/JR MX-16s 40MHz + Emergency Booster
Center of gravity (CG): approx. 316mm from the nose, 4mm up reflex of the elevons
AUW with NO FPV gear: approx .640g

FPV gear:
KX-171 pro= KX171 G2 PAL CCD camera from BEVRC
1.3 GHz 800mW Fox= Sunsky transmitter
1,2 or 1,3 GHz transmitters are legal in Austria with Radio (Ham) License between 1240 and 1300 MHz up to 200W
I'm using channel 9 (1280 MHz)
Stock 3dBi antenna, upper plastic casing removed- should be better for 1280 MHz. Weighs only 18g instead of 27g because I have ground the SMA connector too.
Cyclops Easy OSD (CE OSD) V1.4
Fat Shark RCV922 Aviator Edition video goggles
Microphone
Powering the FPV gear with the flight battery, 11.1V= 3s
LC-filter, needs some improvement
Weight FPV gear: approx. 160g with LC-filter
Ground Station: Lawmate 1.3 GHz with BEVRC 3dBi antenna, upper plastic casing removed
Powered with a 3s LiPo battery

Editing with Ulead Videostudio 11
Compressing with Xvid, Single Pass, Quantizer 2 (approx. 72 MB per minute), MP3 256 kps CBR Stereo
This is the best possible quality in my opinion (with this camera, transmitter setup)

All up weight with FPV gear: approx. 804g
Top level speed (airspeed): approx. 100 km/h
Flight time: 5- 30 minutes, depending on throttle and thermal lift
Range: approx. 1,5 km with this setup

@Muni86 what controller and receiver did you use? I need one that has a 2-3 mile range any suggestions? Plz answer back.

[muni86]

@davesofresh84 in the video info box

[otourko]

I wish I had the money to build these things, this looks like so much fun and the vid are awesome : 3

[muni86]

@otourko you don't need so much money, 2000 Euros should be enough for a usable setup

[fushandschups]

Very nice flying! What camera our you using?

[muni86]

@fushandschups Thanks, KX171 pro= KX171 G2

[scottreloaded]

@sautezFort that would be epic

[jhelfril]

Nice man, hey can you tell me the name of the cam you used and where you got it? Thanks.

[sautezFort]

Should figure out a way to control these through broadband like 4G and such.

[davesofresh84]

Thank you!

[traderdmb]

very cool.

It would suck to be having a nice dinner and see a rc plane flying around trying to barley miss you.
