Such an awesome flight, awesome place and awesome people. Cheers TBS and Trappy.

[@MrJarrod]

You know you've made it Stew . When you get to meet the legendary Trappy . Well done.

[@abishekbabu8759]

Stew can I have a fpv goggle which you don't use. Man I definitely can't afford it. I'm a great fan of yours. Watched all your videos and am absolutely into fpv. My parents aren't letting me buy the goggles only. So if you have anything that you don't use, please bro.

[@TheMadmacs]

yeah great to see one of the legends of fpv appearing on your channel, its all +'s for the hobby and the business

[@serval_fpv]

@@abishekbabu8759 hes got tons of stuff m8 I'm sure he will sort you out !!

[@ttp_007]

TRAPPY GRANDDADDY OF FPV? That title should belong to Denis Gratton AKA "VRFLYER" from Quebec.... New FPV generation have no idea that as a forum group of few people, we started doing FPV back in 2001 - 2002. Actually the first FPV was done back in 1989 by Carl Berry from Texas. Trappy does it to promote his business.

[@MrEvan1932]

Trappy: "Its getting a bit noisy" *DVR feed is pure static*

[@sketchbmx]

I'm sure that is DVR from UAVfutures. Which looked like his patch was 90degrees to where the wing was 😂

[@Voidroamer]

rofl my thoughts exactly. a bit sad we didnt get to see that ground station's DVR

[@nmnmnm35]

@@Voidroamer can u explain what thats means im trying to understand fpv long range

[@NoPro420]

@@nmnmnm35 what you need explained?

​@@Voidroamer Sorry I'm quite new in this, I'd like to understand the video setup here. I would say : - The overlayed 16/9 video when there is no telemetry is directly from gopro (4:56) - Video with telemetry. The telemetry from the crossfire is added to the video by an OSD on the cruiser, probably the TBS Core pnp PRO? Then the video sent directly by 5.8Ghz radio to : * white fatshark video is from the ClearView Receiver (around 6:52). The "5760" seems to be added by ClearView. And the Clearview AV signal seems to go to Trappy's white fatshark, which has no 5.8GHz antennas * green fatshark video is directly from fatshark AV receiver (7:49). the google has 5.8GHz antennas, and the video has no more "5760" Is it correct? So we don't know why the AV receiver was switched from the ground station to the fatshark goggles. Could it be that the ground station setup was failing? Or it's just simpler to use the google directly?

[@quickf0x792]

Awesome! trappy is an amazing icon in the hobby, and tbs has pioneered in every aspect of the hobby(low kv, cheap frames, radio link, wings, transmitters, etc)

[@nathanielharter1643]

Stu this video is amazing! This is one of the best fpv videos I have seen on KZbin in a long while. It is a good mix of numbers and educational material along with good hunar and fun! Thanks for this it made my morning!

[@nathanielharter1643]

I want to get into long range sometime soon, you should try to set some long range gear up your self!

[@TheMadmacs]

i flew over water for a full session last week, i was home for about an hour and two cups of tea before i unpuckered.

[@fulltimejunglist9534]

Enjoyed that, good to see trappy enjoying it and having confidence in his gear. Had all steps covered. Glad you all had fun.

[@rebelquadronfpv1065]

Look at the grin on Trappys face. Nice work boys!!!

[@juggalizzle75]

great video stu!! its just awesome to see pilots coming together from all across the world to meetup and fly. TBS gear is top notch and really inspires confidence in your long range and even your short range flying if you are flying behind a lot of obstacles or bandos. When are we going to see you build and fly a long range quad setup? Like maybe a crossfire 7"!! keep up the great work!!

[@halflife82]

Haha loved it! Love some of the new technology you’ve got on-board there Trappy! Cheers guys

[@Nebul3r]

top notch as ever!!!. Long range is such an addiction, its the best adrenaline rush period!

[@Cruis3zFPV]

Trappy is one chilled character 😎 Awesome video *Stew* 💥👌👍

[@CP_FPV]

I love my long range flights. I just fitted a Aomway 1000mw 5.8ghz to my MTD with a pagoda to go with a 7 turn helical and moxon antenna on my UHF

[@diggy2107]

Thank you so much UAV Futures, what a great video!

[@andybladen9284]

This is one of the coolest videos I’ve seen on here ! I’m just getting into it there is so much to learn it all very high tech!

[@allennickles3970]

I own a few TBS VTX and have more faith in those Vtx more than anything i got. I cant wait until i get my hands on the crossfire! Awesome video love to see more on TBS

[@NJFPV]

Great video. Still have a half built Caipi that I need to finish. Nice to see a demonstration of what the gear can do. The giddy nervous demeanor of the host had me wanting to leg sweep him at times, but overall a good session.

[@grub1962]

Holy Sweet Baby Jesus...that was interesting. I am saving up for a Crossfire immediately.

[@johncarold]

This is so cool Stew makes me wanting to get back into wings, Thanks for the show.

[@chriscrashfpv]

moral of that story is when you loose video signal, 12:10 " just hold your radio up and have faith" lmfao great video guys. always a treat!

[@mrgreen8887]

More, More, More 👍😁 Great video and pilot 10Km and then around the Mountains then back home wow.

[@dmctec5943]

Great, crazy and amazing! Congratulations!

[@toddcranenola4635]

Hi UAVFutures. I found you through suggested videos. First, your videos are great and your editing, top notch. I made a KZbin channel, so I'm doing my research. Thanks for all of your help! Please keep it up. Just subbed!

[@KingFPV]

Well that was exciting wondering if it was coming back. Love that TBS gear! I need that TBS Crossfire diversity except that it is the size of a Toyota Hilux.

[@Scott_Bishell]

Amazing kit there! TBS is epic!

[@scottdurham7745]

Great video with Trappy at the wheel! Crossfire for the win!

[@TangoOne]

Wings don't land, they crash.

[@vonster22]

so that was a good landing? I was like ..ouch..

[@burtpanzer]

They do both really... sort of a crash-landing

[@jasons7044]

I seen his white fatsharks strap...about to fall off ...then in the next frame he had green fatsharks on

[@Maxpakts]

Haha! Your right. At 7:33

[@FpvBerget]

Its because the first ones aint his.... They probably just wanna make the fatshark advertising ;) Hard to see its fatsharks with his own colour scheme hahaha

[@platty9237]

I’m gonna assume it has to do with the fpv antenna configuration.

[@BMSWEB]

Dude, that was so much fun man!!! 👍👍👍 BTW: I remember Trappy once telling me there is no need for RTH 😂😂

[@quickf0x792]

I recently did a 780 metre flight with 200mw, and I refuse to push it without a home arrow and gps rth; even though i had crystal clear video i was afraid of straying from the reach of the patch antenna.

[@wing_it]

I flew 2.5K with no rth. Playing risky

[@fpfree8821]

For 2.5yrs of flying, ONE component that has remained throughout, and although updated it is still essentially the same as the first one I used, I'd argue that the 5v Unify Pro has been the most significant and successful of the airborne components in fpv. Full stop. Cheers TBS, beers are on me

[@hydrojedi]

Very cool! Would really like to see more about the flarm compared to ADS-B here in the States. Love my TBS gear!

[@vito7056]

Diggin the black paint job on that TBS Tango! I love that thing

[@MarcFPV]

Always funny how people react on their first long range experience :D I just started with it too… first tests at 2-3km. Then maxed out at 4.9 with my FlySky i6. Got a taranis now with X8R receiver and my recod now is 11.2km. It is always an adrenalin rush when watching the battery go down on the way back :D

[@OllyFPV]

Hey man. Was the flysky i6 modded in any way

[@TriadAgone]

What type of flarm are you using? I fly gliders with FLARM often, the newer FLARM units show ADS-B and Mode S as well, and TCAS and ADS-B equipped aircraft will also be able to react to it as traffic.

yeah the way he was doing the maths and explaining it was awesome to watch in person. even though he is super chilled he is extremely knowledgeable and really knows his long range stuff

F***ng AWESOME!!! AT the rate of how drones are developing--I am excited at what technology and features will be around in just 2-3 YEARS! (IT used to be 10 years). With my Parrot, I'm literally flying over 500' buildings--looking down. It's a total shock and wonder. If you are a Cessna owner and cannot fly for whatever reason. Here is your alternative. That last guy was right: "an adrenaline ride the whole way." I will post some if my clips later!👍👍👍☻☻☻☻

[@noname-wo9yy]

Its sad because the legislation will kill the hobby, for instance i bet there was like 4-5 FAA infractions, in this video. But guess as long as you do not post stuff online and crash your wing/done into a police car with the go pro on you should be ok.

[@canonballsimp]

[@choppergirl]

What sattelite lost model beacon system was he running? I know they are pretty common in GPS units sold to hikers.... and I've seen them for RC but it's been quite a while. I always kind of skimmed passed them because they required a subscription fee. Plus they only work well if you got a clear line of sight to the sky. In a pond or forest or in a city alley between buildings... not so much so.
