Graupner Flash

FPV on a modified Graupner Flash delta. Powered by 4 x 18650 li-ion batteries in series.

Yeah! That's my kind of FPV... low, close and fast (with a half roll on landing) :-)

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

It was supposed to be a touch 'n' go....but....

Nice hedge hopping.

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

it's fun!

[@dsingfsw]

Great piloting, that plane is dialed in.

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

yeah, need a bit of aileron trim, but it's pretty close. Wind was absolutely Zero, which makes it look so smooth..

[@JamesHurd]

Always a pleasure to watch mate great flying :)

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Thanks James! Hope the DS is going well for you.

Excellent flying! Was there much of a weight advantage with the batteries? I did a quick google and see about 40 grams of a saving. The max discharge rate seems low per battery but does that go up with each additional battery?

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

I have no balance leads on packs, just pin header connector sockets for the balance, and 2mm bullet sockets soldered on for the output to keep the weight right down...with this 4 cell pack, the weight of 3,000mah (LG-HG2 cells) is exactly half what a Turnigy 3000mah 4s would weigh. Max amps is 30a, and max continuous is around 15-18 amps. I use 20awg wire for the esc to keep weight down too...

Not the original hedgehog hopper (I remember it) but looks like a grand day flying mate, good work!

Nice video feed....

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Just cam and vtx, nothing else...with home made untuned 'v' antenna on plane and skew planar on goggles.. simple setup.

[@EnglishTurbines]

@@OMEGOOLIEBIRD Oh, it's on 1.2g video...that explains it...lol...You should maybe include a still of the bird in the video..I'm wondering what it looks like now.

@@OMEGOOLIEBIRD Nice plane, yours looks like a lot of fun on a simple setup too...

[@JakeBullit123]

Great stuff 👍

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

simple plane, simply fun!

[@zeroxfpv1534]

what vtx you using man, sweet as range on so clear on video, and sooo stable

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Hey, it's Partom 1.3ghz. It was so still that day it makes it look super stable! The smoke stayed around for ages and nearly choked us in the end!!

[@zeroxfpv1534]

@@OMEGOOLIEBIRD haha, well im on 5.8ghz so wont get that clear, unless i bump to 1600mw😂 thats for winter though otherwise melts basically😂 but yeah super stable still

[@SladkaPritomnost]

Flies great, and thumps up for keeping it super simple :)

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

It is a joy to fly, so light and simple!
