He visto todo el video, las vistas son espectaculares y la suavidad del vuelo te transmite paz y tranquilidad. Espectacular

good project , is fantastic long range !! good pilot !

[@Chris_Paul1]

Nice smooth flight and good piloting skills. My best is 10km out, 10km back but limited by the flight battery range. I have a MyTwinDream and a Ranger 1600.

[@Виталий-и8ф3х]

Hello. How did you manage to get video 1.2 and crossfire compatibility? But they are not compatible because of the close frequency?

[@AleksandrBalyberdin]

Hey, I prefer to use 868Mhz on my CF, so this frequency not so close to 1.2Mhz and you can use it but CF have a some noise on 1.2Mhz (for example Dragonlink doesn't have a problem on 868Mhz). Also I use a Notch filter (from TBS store) on my video RX but I don't have a problems with CF and 1.2Mhz with or without filter.

[@Виталий-и8ф3х]

Greetings to you, Alexander. Can you tell me how you connected the crossfire receiver to the Pitlab autopilot? I would love to go to the forum, but there are a lot of pages. Please show how you connected your equipment.

[@AleksandrBalyberdin]

Hi Виталий, I use a big receiver so there's no problem to connect all channels to Pitlab but in my case I use SBUS connection. Just check the Pitlab documentation. Привет, у меня большой приемник у которого есть все пины для подключения каналов, но я использую подключение SBUS (через 1 провод). У питлаба хорошая документация, там описан процесс подключения.

[@AlexanderPerez-oe1gu]

Great flight! Beautiful scenery. Out of curiosity, I notice you are using crossfire with 1.3 vtx. Are you experiencing any issues with conflict of frequencies between tbs and video? Are you using any type of signal notch on the receiver end? Thanks in advance.

[@AleksandrBalyberdin]

Sorry for long reply :) just found it in lot's of comments. I use 868mz (max 500mw) and 1280video and don't ave any issues but for safest I use not filter from TBS.

[@AlexanderPerez-oe1gu]

Alexandr Balyberdin no worries. Thanks for the response. Cheers!

[@ryandconan]

hey? I still didnt get it. why you are using 4s 5200mAh 10 C instead? Why you dont use higher c rating?

[@AleksandrBalyberdin]

Higher C rate needs for higher Amps. It's good for quads but bad for plane. More C = more weight :) I can got up to 52A from my battery without damaging it. On launch max current about 40A, in cruise flight about 5A. So theres reason why I use only 10C :)

[@ryandconan]

@@AleksandrBalyberdin your explanation is ... Amazing ;) and the last question, why do you use lipo? talking about weight, li-ion battery has double capasity on same weight of lipo battery. actually that is my point that I'm trying to say. Now I'm on research to build a long range system too. Using Inav. but the most long range video on youtube mentioned that they're using Li-ion battery for long endurance flight. when I saw your video and read the description, I realize there is something wrong. Youre using Lipo battery, 10C and get 20Km. Incredible!

[@AleksandrBalyberdin]

​@@ryandconan Thanks :) Simply I use lipo because already have it. I was bought my lipo with big discount ($25 battery) about 3 yesars ago and now is time to change it. I already think to make with li-ion 18650 battery (maybe 4s4p or 4s3p for reduce weight). So if you want long range - li-ion is better but be careful - higher Amps (long time) can damage it. If you need higher Apms (like race quad) theres lipo better (but you can try to use liion with more pack in one cell)

[@GuiOhm_FR]

Great video ! Thanks for sharing. Please could you tell me what servo did you use for camera tilt ? I m searching 270 degree or more for my MT. Thanks

Hi Alexander I have just purchased a Mini Talon and wondered if you have a video showing how you have set the aircraft up and what equipment you have on and how to set it up. as a new pilot to FPV I would like to see how an experienced Pilot dose it so I can get some ideas for my aircraft. thanks

[@AleksandrBalyberdin]

Hi Phil, thanks but unfortunately I don't have a build and setup video. Under video in description you can find my current setup. I strong recommend to check RCgroups topic: Talon MINI FPV plane--official thread. There's lots of builds and advices, almost all information about MT. Be careful with COG and fly safe!

[@ikariku]

Excelent!

[@MrPhaphic]

Great flight. Smooth and stable. A pleasure to watch it. It's definitely my next plane. I will use your setup. And you should realy try li-ion 18650 pack. I'm getting an hour of flight with a 3s1p 3500mah pack (NCR18650GA) on my nano talon. Regards.

[@iRoNiiC_H3R0]

I put you video setup in maxmyrange and it says you should be able to go 40km. For you to be getting video break up at 18km makes me think that the tbs is cutting you video range

[@AleksandrBalyberdin]

Yes for ideal conditions (antenna accuracy, power, no interference, etc.). Unfortunately in reality is much harder.

Awesome flight!! what panning servo are you using??

[@AleksandrBalyberdin]

Thanks! There's my personal designed and printed pan tilt :) still not finished. Hope soon I can release it on thingiverse

[@ryandconan]

You already have 5200mah 4s, what do you mean with extra battery for video 1300mah? Is it for fpv? So fpv running in another system?,

[@AleksandrBalyberdin]

I use Zippy Compact 3S 1500mah 20C to power my Pitlab OSD, video tx and runcam split. Multistar 4S 5200mah only for motor and servos.

[@ryandconan]

@@AleksandrBalyberdin have you ever heard about Inav? I run Inav on my plane and there is no way to separate the power system. Both motor and servo are going into FC and also FPV system, powered by only one power source . So if we're running fpv without connecting to the FC, The osd wont work and we cant see the data such as current draw, distance, speed, etc Do you have any advice? Your setup is great btw

[@marcelovagula4312]

hello what is the final weight of the aircraft?

[@AleksandrBalyberdin]

Hi, full weight about 1800-1850g (4 lb)

[@kywon_m_vlogs1742]

Correct me if this is not how it works but... Take 2 10,000mah 2s 7.4v batteries, get a two to one connector, 7.4×2 is 14.8v, so basically, you crafted a 20,000mah battery.

[@AleksandrBalyberdin]

Yep, If it parallel connected, but still be 2s (20,000mAh 2s 7.4v). If connect it as series you got 4s but same 10,000mAh (and this bad practice because battery can be damage by different discharge) Better way - made DIY battery from 18650 :) I have 12 battery's but need solder it. 3pc parallel in one cell (4s3p) it will be about 13,000mAh and only 700g weight.

[@taniasiregar653]

Is it possible with jet engine?

I don't know :) this is RC (radio control) airplane with electric motor. If you asked about real big jet engine (like Pratt & Whitney’s PW1000G)

Dude, check the end video. With 5200 I can fly one hour. I know OSD on Russion but Время полёта translate as Flight Time

With a 1000mw vtx, and some ordinary chinese googles, how far will i go without losing feed?

[@AleksandrBalyberdin]

​@@kywon_m_vlogs1742 I can't answer on this question. It's very different and depends on video and rc frequency, antennas type, receiver, your location, on board electronics etc...

[@dmhans22]

which is the best for long range? tbs crossfire or 2w ezuhf?

[@AleksandrBalyberdin]

I found tbs crossfire is better. I've got 20km on 800mw with ezuhf and same 20km with 100mw crossfire. It's huge difference. With Crossfire I don't need more than 500mw power and I can fly very long range. But if you want save more money (ezuhf price now $30 for 2W TX but TBS is $150) you can buy ezuhf.

How do you connect sound from the mic to my googles for sound?

[@AleksandrBalyberdin]

​@@kywon_m_vlogs1742 I don't need 10 000mah for one hour flight :) at 6:10 on OSD screen you can see flight time: 61 minutes. With 10000 I get maybe +20 mins to my current flight time because total weight wery important and affect on glide characteristics. 1 hour with 5200mah much better than 1,5 hours with 10000. About sound. I dont use it but if you want to listen just motor sound in flight you can connect mic to vtx.
