Believer - 7800m high altitude FPV flight

[@90secondsofaviation86]

That is wild! So dope. If your personal best is at 10km then you flew in 2x less dense air. respect

[@josiahdaniels2499]

Pretty awesome flight! Hair-raising moments coming down but spectacular views nonetheless.

[@earlyculyer4103]

I was thinking could you extend your transmitter antenna break safe put it on a balloon or attach it to a kite to get more range is there a way to do that it's probably a crazy idea?

[@kikflipguy101]

I though about building a second plane for communications, a very basic plane with a ZOHD Kopilot FC. Onboard will be an fpv reciever to recieve the signals from my long range plane and relay them directly into another VTX transmitting on a different frequency, which will be picked up my headset. All that is needed is to put the communications plane into RTH and let it circle above autonomously. Could be very useful is you live near mountains or lots of trees

Love the dog:) it was having a good time ya

[@ormaphan]

Isn't the air up there too cold for the batteries? Did u notice any degradation in performance?

[@jetstreamtv3407]

…and a zabo zabel to you sir!

[@andybor2453]

I don't understand what it means, but thank you anyway!

[@dronepilot260rc]

Very nice!

[@SmiKProduction]

18A with a LiIon battery is not a problem? Great flight!

[@andybor2453]

Thank you for feedback. This is 21700 6S5P battery, so 50A also is not a problem!

[@DJMUHIB]

Man, this is amazing may I know how much cost it is required to make this plane.

[@andybor2453]

Thank you for feedback. My plane with equipment costs ~$1000. For beginners I would recommend Skyhunter or something similar.

[@DJMUHIB]

@@andybor2453 Thanks mate will check on it.

[@sergiogiaccone6291]

Amazing flight Andy, what about the setup?

[@andybor2453]

Thank you for your feedback. You can find my setup in description to this video.

[@craigc6769]

where did you buy the battery ?

[@icesteve516]

Did you use only 22000 mah 6s to fly at 7800 km altitude, in one hour and 40 minutes with 2 motors?

[@andybor2453]

Yes, I used only one 6S5P 21700 battery for this flight

[@icesteve516]

@@andybor2453 But in total it's only 22000mah? I used ecalc which is an online configuration software to see how the batteries behave and I don't think I would ever be able to achieve such a flight autonomy with such a heavy load.

[@icesteve516]

@@andybor2453 I would also like to build a long range configuration but I immediately took it for granted that with 2 engines I would not be able to have such a prolonged autonomy.

FL320 ! Wow!

[@harshvyas5360]

Beautiful flight, what flight controller you are using?

[@andybor2453]

This is EagleTree Vector. Very cool flight controller. Unfortunately, they stopped their business.

[@SWTxSerega]

Красотень!!!

[@ВолодимирГоцко-о5и]

Люкс! Вітаю !!!

[@mysteriumvitae5338]

Why didn't you measure the temperature? We know it's eternal winter up there, of course, but seeing this live is another matter. Or how about tying a bottle of water to the plane, flying it in this height or even higher - and than landing it frozen, all covered in frost and steaming with cold fog, in the plain heat of summer with 30+ celsius or 90+ Fahrenheit?

[@andybor2453]

You can see Temperature sensor in the right bottom corner. It is showing -17 celsius on 7000m altitude. For some reason Vector doesn't show more :-( Your idea regarding tying a bottle is interesting. Will try to realize it, but it will be next year maybe.

[@mysteriumvitae5338]

@@andybor2453 I think the temperature sensor might be not scaled lower than -17 because, well - -17,8°C are 0°F. I don't know in which country it is made.But I do know Westerners sometimes honestly think nobody will ever need to measure lower than 0°F because there is no colder than that in nature (in their world of practically absent winters, yes).

[@andybor2453]

​@@mysteriumvitae5338 Maybe you are right. At least you shed some light on this pazzl. This is EagleTree Vector, and it is made in USA :-)

[@mysteriumvitae5338]

@@andybor2453 The perfect place for this kind of thinking :) They think in °F, which has its zero at -17,8°C, as I already said. And quite a part of the USA actually never experiences any colder than that, so they do just fine with outdoor thermometers ending at this point :) (Although freezers are some degrees colder than that, but it's another matter and people actually rarely put thermometers IN there)

[@onemanslonelyjourney3805]

how did yo install that altitude indicator? what is the software and hardware?

[@byMarto_com]

Why coming back is the problem ?

[@andybor2453]

Because of this is not easy to get back against wind with empty battery. Especially when distance to home is more than 28km. :-)

[@jakub9802]

Wait what you mean (except) from altitude, the place where you were standing and the place where the plane was is 28 km measured horizontally?

[@spredana]

Nice flight....my personal record is 1800 m 😁😁

[@andybor2453]

I was very happy when I achieved 800m altitude at first time! Good luck in FPV hobby!

[@spaken2768]

Do you need to get clearance from air traffic authorities when flying like this? How do you avoid collisions with other aircraft?

[@andybor2453]

Our sky is clear, so I don't need any any permissions. Try finding Ukraine in www.flightradar24.com

[@smilingbunny3282]

2 hours of flight omg

[@Daruma_Studio]

Damn, film yourself committing a crime and upload it to the permanent internet... nice!

GLORY to UKRAINE! GOOD FLY!
