Flite Test - Simple FPV - PROJECT

[@FliteTest]

@ReDnEcKrCrAcInG Just glue it back together. You have to reinforce it with tape. I add a fiberglass rod across the fuse and put Goop on the leading edge. Mine has been wrecked HARD and repaired many times and I still fly it. It's the one Joab was flying in this video. -Chad

[@FliteTest]

@RKuyoth I use the Futaba 7C FM system for my FPV Maxi Swift. It woks great! I've been two miles away and still had strong signal. Watch the FPV Balloon Pop challenge and you see mine. -Chad

[@RCllamadude]

gotta love wings, i've had a windrider ele-bee for over 2 years now, and it has hit everything from dogs to 6 year olds to flag poles to houses, and it still flies like a dream.

[@FliteTest]

@jayc004 The signal was blacking out because they flew out of the zone for the directional antenna on the ground station.

[@FliteTest]

@Eagleburger90 It was a fishing accident, and I have a complex about it. But thanks. -Joab

[@FliteTest]

@gluino They flew perpendicular to the patch antenna.

[@gandupakhi]

I have no clue what you talking FT...but guy on left seems so sincere, FOCUSSED and passionate about his thing... all the best...from India!

[@printzp]

Can't wait to get an fpv setup. Joab did a great job, another crew member that makes me want to meet and fly with the Flitetest crew.

[@NazmurRahman]

Watching you guys since 2013, Watched this video today don't know why but it put tear in my eyes.

[@RCHobbyist463]

I had the same idea of mounting the transmitter and camera practically on top of each other in order to switch airplanes easily and take up the least amount of space but I also feared that it would cause a severe noise floor. I guess it is kind of suitable if you aren't doing anything serious. I still remember trying out someone's else's fpv system and the part that especially made me dizzy was the fact that it was a slow stick with an exaggerated dihedral.

[@steves6557]

Wow! Yeah, great sunset video, but I was amazed at how smooth the flight is. Nice job Flite Test!

[@MonkeyWeazelFilms]

Great job Joab! Excellent introduction to that side of the camera.

[@FliteTest]

@flyhalabi It was indeed a prop accident, and they ran out of stitches in the ER. :) -Joab

[@MonkeyWeazelFilms]

@jodde73 I thought that the system did excellent with the stock TX antenna. I also agree that Joab did an excellent job with his flying.

[@flyboyMaxwell]

This was on your website two or three weeks ago, still a great video! I am inspired to get a simple FPV system!

[@h0tr0d31337]

Josh Scott who? I think Joab did an awesome job! Keep up the great work guys.

[@CrashbandiJune]

You guys are AWESOME!!!

[@LEMY64]

u used to think fpv is poo but now from seing this video im buying one NOW!!!!

[@gluino]

I was expecting some comments about the lock-outs / drop-outs. Was it due to distance? Anything to do with the HT powerlines?

[@obRCmania]

Where did you get the smaller antennas from. the original once that come with the 900mhz are huge.

[@rcoconut]

Nice video, so what is needed to start FPV? Obviously camera & goggles but what else? The HK site has all kinds of variations of setups and packages, but if you just want a goggle setup what is recommended? And what setup are you using on the Swift?

[@InTheFleshInc]

Wow that nice piece of property to fly on right out of the nice house, damn im enveous just got into quadcopters and bought a Syma X5C then I just bought a Aerosky x350 and looking to set up a FPV. I have not ever seen these wing flyers before today.

[@B4its2L8guy]

2 lock outs on the DX8, not to mention the reboot time on the first. Not good. Those plane locators are a must for some. Our field is surrounded by corn and beans and nearly impossible to even find a 30% if it lands off strip.

[@cod4madass]

have you guys thought about the locking out issue? is it the power pylon giving off RF? or the 2.4 Video tx?

[@ALoonwolf]

You don't need a locator to find your lost 'plane when flying first person view. Even if the camera view is no help at all, you can block the receiver aerial on one side and turn around to locate the direction the video transmission is coming from. You can find your 'plane almost immediately, even if it's lost within a vast area that would take many hours to search.

[@Boot2yourHead]

your new sight is great guys, love where your going with the sight too. Now I know you've heard this before but you guys rule. Absolutely the best crew and videos on things with wings.

[@Chio_OB]

Great vid, parkflier low spec fps but fun and cheap, Joab was alright, flew nice. One thing, maybe I'm just getting old but the lip ring, urgh, took a long time to realise it wasn't a disfiguring cut/scab from a punch up. Gotta say I like Josh better but Joab was not a disapointment. Keep the good vids coming and let Josh and Joeb dogfight!

[@jaredgallagher6363]

Is it possible to put fpv on the proto x quadcopter

[@RKDownTime]

I still have some FM Futaba gear laying around. Am I better off going with that on an FPV setup? I've heard some people say the 2.4 was locking out due to the 1.2 transmitters for the camera. Others say a different antenna would fix it, still another said it's a location issue. I know $50 is cheap to get into it, but I'd rather not risk $400 worth of money, and my time for something that is marginal at best. I don't have a $50 model to slap it on, and if I did I would still want more reliability

[@shrike4242]

Any info on the locator beeper? Is it a ready-made kit or a DIY system?

[@fraserkiranas6911]

Would you be able to do an fpv project on the Bloody Wonder?

[@MrAmystic]

So what would the bare minimum for a FPV wing setup be? Is there an affordable out of the box option? I'm new to the scene and havent got any equipment..

[@johnnycash3834]

awsome video.

[@DaddyRC]

nice episode... i actually like joab as a co-host better. he's curiously smart and animated... entertaining.

[@HDPandah]

The other josh is meant to be like the noobie beginners and ask questions we might ask.

[@Soldier53flyer]

What do you all think of the FrSky 2.4 V8JT In the Fly Sky 9X for a radio? I see you use DX a lot and I would like to see what you think of this set up, it was just a plug and bind. I used the one for JR. thank you for your hard work.

[@rcman2010]

One question Josh said that their would be pictures and info on how to make it on the website but I have cheeked and there is not. On your website you say there will be more detail but it is mostly brief. I hope you guys could fix it! Thanks

[@lbermude]

Hobbyking is known for its lack of manuals. I got the fpv camera and the transmitter/receiver but little i knew that the transmitter is 12V (as it says in the case) and the camera is 5V (no info about this anywhere). They are connected by a cable that fits perfectly... with the little problem that the camera will get the full 12V and will be damaged. I did not see any comments about this in your video.

[@toddmoon602]

Great vid

[@breezemakenzie3587]

looking for video for putting the camera mount that together I bought from flite test can't find one...

[@SavageInsight]

Do you have any suggestions for a really compact, high resolution FPV display for under $300?

[@PeterPiccolo]

would any of those hold a fpv setup using my gopro hero with hardcase and fpv wiring? please let me know im trying hard to get in touch with you i have man questions, also mainly with my quad!! thanks god bless

[@MrOzzyoz64]

hi guys ive tried fpv and i love it however iam really haveing trouble in getting more than 100meters and iam getting bored keep flying round in circles i have a f450 quad with naza light a 2.4 specktrum 18 transmitter, for my fpv i have fatshark teleporter v3 goggles 600mw emersion rc tx fatshark pilot hd cam 5.8 skew planar and cloverleaf antenna! what the hell am i doing wrong here ive tried loads of stuff to try and get a better video, maybe my set up is wrong something to near something else,pehaps!! please could you give me some advise as to what and where to put things or what i need to get a decent range !!?i was looking foward to maybe to go long range at one stage but dnt looks like iam going to do tht !? oh and also my cam keeps going to black and white rather than colour but on playback its in colour weired are these goggles anygood is it those !?when i first got it i had a 200 mw tx so i changed tht for a 600mw along with the duck antennas for the cloverleaf and skew maybe its those i power up with a turnigy 4s 4000mah li-po in the 4cell connector on the fatshark camra power but it wont record but it will when i run a 3 cell li po its driven me round the bend iam already bold as a cute coz ive pulled all me hair out lol HELP ME PLEASE!!!!! that was the cry of a desprate man !?

[@walliber9836]

I really like that FPV setup. Does anybody have the link to it? I clicked on the HobbyKing link but it just took me to their website and not the actual product

[@VOXSystemSchulz]

Nice FPV, what are the goggles and where can I get them?

[@himarkalvin]

im thinking about getting into fpv. i need a simple and cheap fpv system and will probably use it on a quad. it has to be reliable and an ok range. is this the right system for me?

[@speedxdemond]

What is a good Battery for the Tx & Rx? and is that all i need to start? Thanks

[@phs1df]

I like that swift and the tex sumo can you show me the name of the fpv that they had.

[@olmosm1]

I’m a newbie. It would be nice if you guys mention at list of the components that you use especially .I think would help you sell more. Theirs people out here that would like to try some of your products that are new to us newbie’s.

[@mclags4783]

How does the SUMO compare to the Versa Wing?

[@CheckeredxFlagxRC]

Hey guys I have a gopro hero 3 white and I was wondering what I needed to use it as an fpv camera and where I can buy it

[@gazilew]

Jobe tossing!!! Quite a popular sport in the uk!!!!

[@sterby1]

@cod4madass Most likely it's the Spektrum transmitters and DSM2. DSM2 can do funny things, locking onto 2 channels, but using only one. Interference and shadowing can get planes down quickly. This issue occures a lot more often than the math suggests. Also DSMX still has more issues than the average FHSS system.

[@Soldier53flyer]

can you put a link in for your wing set up?

[@sebastianlogue7219]

Can you do FPV on the bonsai or is that too much weight for it

[@RobinnTech]

Can you please Give the link of the fpv system that you used? Thanks!

[@raffman4266]

Hey josh can post the exact link to hobbyking for the transmitter cam setup

[@hacker33299]

what antena did you use for fpv receiver

[@alexhydea]

what frequencys do you use for control and fpv?

[@vazza69]

Hi! What motor is on the teck sumo? Im tinkin of geting one of dos :P

[@vazza69]

Hi! Whats the setup on te teck sumo if I may ask? :)

[@theScorpion1001]

hi,what battery do you recommend for this system you used?

[@water--schlong5600]

what is the best beginner fpv rig

[@userTJ39780]

I'm guessing the simple scout. Nice open cockpit, mid-wing, slow flyer.

[@CDNRCFlyer]

Hi great film can you provide information on the FPV system so I can order one Thanks

[@pbutok]

Can you do one on the basic 5.8 system that hk offers because im in uk and alot of countries including uk trasmit phone signal of 900mhz

[@valentinotto_]

What size of Lipo do you use on your Swift´s?

[@monkyboy1777]

how far does your transmitter go with those planes

[@ThePieSnatcher]

His fpv feed back then is better than my fpv feed today lol

[@Henry.Kristiansen]

what is the motor you are using on the teksumo??? :)

[@MrudangSavsani]

how did you power the camera and the tx..

[@jonasneddermann4433]

Nice intro guys

[@BigCarKilla]

Guys, this didnt tell me anything! How did you connect to the goggles? What goggles were you using? What is the link to this hobbyking kit?

[@iceracer300]

what fpv sistem was that and what antenas did you use

[@jonasneddermann4433]

Im fpving The easy star 2 glider but i dont kno wehere to attach The transmitter does anyone have an advise?

[@fishermen21]

Where to get these tiny antenna?

[@RCllamadude]

"so many planes i don't know which one to grab" you lucky little shart.

[@humanmissile]

Can you give us a link to where to find this FPV setup? -Sky

[@G2735h]

I have a suggestion why don't you put a gyro on the "Bomb" to stabilize the flight on the way down

[@mattbehnke779]

Can this fpv work on the heli max 1sq quad copter

[@susanrc73]

They actually had another video about this basic FPV setup that already works! You just have to construct it. Its by HobbyKing. :D Have fun flying!

[@GedeBaron]

sorry for ask, i want to tknow where is the FPV u get, or buy ? please tell me, cz i dont know where i can get that tools in my country..

[@scottream955]

Hobbykingdotcom

[@PHeMoX]

@cod4madass Yeah! Same thoughts here. If it's 2,4Ghz video and 2,4Ghz radios, then they were begging for trouble. For what it's worth, I sometimes fly near power pylons and they do not usually cause any interference. Worst thing that can happen is flying into a cable.

[@zero00tolerance]

Hello all is there a link to order this ? thankyou

[@RBLXgamereviews]

Jobe was pretty good at that :) Sorry if I spelt it wrong

[@derekf7798]

can u send me a link to everythingi need to grt the whole set up. lets say i have nothing and i want to get the whole thing please tell me everything.

[@saphire1324]

how can I extend my radio/receiver signal. I have an spektrum dx6i

[@JakeDancel]

saphire1324 find a uhf module for it

[@macfpv03]

Where is are Swedish friend at have not seen him in a long time?

[@shilohbursle8859]

skullboi2012PlaYs 2 he went back to sweden

[@1geeko]

+skullboi2012PlaYs 2 It's "our Swedish friend" btw.

[@lomparti]

+skullboi2012PlaYs 2 He got deported for building swedish airforce aircraft in the country. lol

[@mangelwicawica]

please post the link for all the parts

[@Ultrarc]

I'm guessing the reason you had so many signal losses is because back then it was dsm2?

[@TheCybercrash]

Where to get these little planes?

[@FlowersForYou629]

Is a wing an ok enough plane to star with?

[@user-sp2et5jc2d]

no way

[@Turboboob]

William Palmer well, its not the best to start out with... you may have started with it but that doesnt mean shit... your better to start out with a high wing trainer. thats why they call them trainers. they are more stable than wings.

[@harryswitzer]

Yeah I learnt with the bonsai, self taught, you can go with a conventional airplane, but my bonsai will never die in a crash, its been abused and still goes strong!

[@Turboboob]

good for you buddy.

[@chessienewbold1731]

It depends, and is kina up to you. While a wing is much more resilient usually, a high wing trainer is usually the way most people go, but as long as it has gentle Characteristics, and fits your budget/ size constraints, it will be a great trainer. Also, I suggest a three channel, its less to manage when your starting.

[@gurcsik]

where can i find that beacon?!

[@pesoen]

i have a question, i(like most people) dont have unlimited money, and i wanna get a great wing that i can learn to fly with, is the tek sumo something for me? and what is the most cheap wing i can get? (with remote, servo, motor, propeller. basically the whole package)

[@themikeymikechannel2947]

Where are you guys from?

[@IbnAir23]

Can anyone please respond and let me know what the range is with this setup of the fpv and the Dx6i????

[@piggypie888]

hi I want to get into FPV and i would like to get the hobby king 900Mhz system with the camera and stuff but im not sure if it is legal i live in the us.

[@derekf7798]

send link to this fpv camera i cant find it

[@tektechnician]

hey flitetest can you provide a project on how to assemble a fpv pod

[@code0303456]

David windestal!!

[@TedRobotBuilder]

How to build a "lost plane beacon" WOULD BE COOL!!!!
