Adam, this was a really good overview of the airplane build and the electronics layout. Thank You! I just received my Skyhunter 1800 PNP and have the MFD Crosshairs AP on order, so your review here was extremely helpful! I think I’ll start with 2.4 GHz control first with the equipment I have until I “learn” the plane a bit, then maybe switch to DL or Crossfire. Thanks again, and hope you enjoy my coffee donation.

This is an extremely dangerous plane to launch. The launch grip is just inches ahead of the prop. I launched mine twice before deciding to quit while I still had all my fingers. Then added landing gear but was not happy with the added weight and drag. Finally removed the landing gear and went to twin tractor motors on the leading edge of the wing. Overall it looks cooler than it is.

It's a shame you feel that way about it. I've hand launched this thing hundreds of times over the last 5 years and I've never worried about the prop. I've also never heard of anyone else having issues launching and catching their hand with the prop on a Skyhunter 🤷🏻‍♂️

Great video! I'll be building my first FPV plane this summer and found this very helpful. If I'm just starting out and using 2.4 for control and 5.8 for video, do the transmitter and receiver have to be as far apart as they are on your build?
@AdamGdoesFPV
@AdamGdoesFPV 4 жыл бұрын
Glad I could help! The short answer to you separation question is no :) people fly way smaller planes (like the Dart250g) with 2.4 and 5.8 and can fly for miles without issue. But the more you space them apart, the more likely you will achieve longer range... depends on what type of flying you'll be doing. Good luck with the build!

I appreciate your work very much Adam! There is so much to learn - between video, UHF, and all the other things going on inside of one of these airframes. You are using 2 separate UBEC circuits from the current sensor to power the Autopilot and Video- but is the BEC that comes from your ESC connected to anything? You didn't address that power source in your video. Thanks!

With many of the new flight controllers like the Matek boards, they come with all the BECs built in for super easy setup. Cheers

Great! glad this inspired you to have a go at building one too! The white cable would need to be connected to a microphone or a device with a microphone for it to receive audio to transmit back. I have never used audio so not something I've looked into. Yes I connect power and earth to MPX pins and then on the other end split them to different devices so that you don't use too many pins on the MPX. Just ensure that the voltage on the power cable is suitable for each device you are splitting it to. You have to use a dedicated pin for each different voltage. Cheers

Hi Adam, Quick question. So I built a skyhunter and flew it for the 1st time. It flies nice and stable. Unfortunately it has a tendency to tip stall once it gets between 0 and 15 miles per hour. It actually tip stalls really bad and I cannot seem to figure out why. I have everything well balanced from front to back and from left to right so I am pretty positive it's not that. I am not sure what else would be causing the issue. Very disappointed
@AdamGdoesFPV
@AdamGdoesFPV 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Aaron. The Skyhunter is an awesome plane and there is nothing wrong with yours at all. The problem here is physics 😅 you simply cannot fly this at 15mph, it’s way too slow. It would be very rare I’d fly mine below 30mph. Keep your speed above stall speed and you’ll be fine.
@jmcguire5151
@jmcguire5151 2 жыл бұрын
Hey Aaron, like Adam said 15mph is pretty slow for a Skyhunter all geared out for LR flight. I do know what you mean though. Something I thought about trying to help with the tips falling out is adding a wing fence to keep airflow from dumping off the end of the wing. Was thinking of making it out of coraplast or maybe 3D printed about 3/4in high and mount them at the end of the ailerons. I'm not an aerospace engineer but thought I'd try it sometime.

Hi Adam, do you know why those 16000mah have doubled in price? Was £60 now £120(!) just out of curiosity - have they changed the chemistry or has long range gotten popular enough that they're upping prices on these longer lasting batteries?

Hi Carl, to be honest I'm not sure why the hike in price by 100%. They appear to have made it slightly more heavy duty as the C rating has gone up, but not enough to warrant the price difference. I find with HK the prices jump up and down a bit a sometimes they go on sale. I'm pretty sure I got my 16a when it was on sale. On the plus side, I've had it for 4 years and it's still going strong. Cheers

@@carlharrison3637 No worries mate. Don't worry too much about the goggles, you already have a pair that work :) Most of us can't buy this stuff all at once, just a case of slowly building it up like you say. If you're buying items from RMRC I'd appreciate if you use one of the links in my vid description, You'll get extra rewards points and I'll get some too... and I'll appreciate you supporting my channel :D Cheers!

@@AdamGdoesFPV I did use your link for the pepperbox - though its not in stock, but i have paid for it so hopefully it will show up once it gets shipped to me fella, have made a note of your links anyway, the RMRC stuff you cant get anywhere other than them, theres a couple of items i think that may not be getting used any more so i might (when i get to buying them) ask you what do you recommend, then if you get a referral link, can work that way

Has anyone tried white polyurethane adhesive to glue their aircraft together ? . . I use it in the motorhome industry and its also what they glue race cars together with . . . In a crash the metal rips away from the bonded joints its literally that strong

Yeah it can be done with the right gear. But it is always more effort on 5.8, it’s a lot less forgiving than 1.2, especially at low altitude or behind objects like trees

Hey Adam, thank you for your video! One question i am planning to do a similar build, but i have some question on what do i need compared to yours. i am planning to build mine on Digital FPV with a DJI air Unit, would the range also be very compromised?
@AdamGdoesFPV
@AdamGdoesFPV 3 жыл бұрын
The DJI air unit will replace the video transmitter and FPV camera that I use. If you use DJI you will be very limited on range and freedom compared to 1.3G analogue. To start with DJI is limited to 13km, so it all depends what you want from it 👍🏻
