Huge thanks to Insta360 for the amazing cameras!! The One R (one inch mod and the 360 mod) are just top notch! Its literally a one stop shop for anything action cam or 360 cam related! Best in the biz for sure! Check em out here, if you love em have as much as we do, you won’t be disappointed! 😎🤙 www.insta360.com/sal/one_r?insrc=INRBALH

*If you license/produce a consumer-ready cockpit unit at a price point of $550-750* (no transmitter, DJI, etc.) you'd do *VERY* well.

[@jamesbramlett5407]

Anybody ever built an RC PPG? Using that Insta360 Cam as the FPV, I bet the pilot could see the canopy to judge trim/brake/etc. (I'm sure y'all kno his work, but checkout Tucker Gott for inspiration)

[@heli400]

lookup force feedback components.... as you fly you get feedback from the control surfaces like you would in a real plane

[@jonathanoconnor268]

360 A-10 Warthog! with airsoft combat!!!!!!!!! that would be soooooo awesome!! you'll get so many views!!!!

[@darknut9696]

Would you guys make a B-17 Flying Fortress and fly it using the RC cockpit with fpv and fpv where turrets are supposed to be

[@Bedr00mguitarist]

And make bf109’s shoot it with BB gun

[@knownjj555]

That would be insane

[@kadepyper8168]

i thought the same thing

[@Dent-Arthur-Dent]

Fab idea but scale would make this problematic: however, change to a WW1 biplane with pilot and rear gunner. FPV pilot and FPV the gunner to shoot BB's or paintballs at a rival plane. All larder scale to make life easier to build. :) There are even WW2 carrier aircraft that this would work on if more fuselage volume is needed.

[@cooper.r.p9396]

And add fpv missiles that can be flown via fpv from separate pilots for air to air combat or air to land

[@scoutworks]

HEAD TRACKING UNIT That needs to be the next addition to the RC Cockpit series!!

[@m.s.aviation7065]

Ikr!

[@250SuperMoto]

I'd love to see that along with a motion simulator. Might be possible to take the telemetry from a quad flight controller and somehow feed it to something like this: dofreality.com/flight-motion-simulator/

[@jagerharris193]

What if they found a way that you could see the controls but not you surroundings just like the camera feed but with the actual physical controls on the feed but in real time

[@TheBigFatHairyCheese]

Defiantly! Would open up so much more precision, including the ability to glance out each side to fly proper circuits & formation.

[@gus8378]

Or set up some races, like the ones they do with quads.

[@wattwaster5936]

Keep thinking in this direction and you will end up with Reno style air races with obsticles, which would be more, or less what quad pilots are already doing. Since there are thousands of air racing planes to model, this would be a never ending series featuring various designs of aircraft made for speed.

[@HybridHenderson]

Ya gotta put a 360 camera for the full experience! ...or add hydraulics to the seat!

[@woofmeow6199]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate Alex's INSANE filming skills with his quad...like that shot at 12:20 :O

[@VladooDIY]

yes, with a race quad, it is quite impressive to see a shot like that.

[@rolandgdean]

In your final build, you need a fan on the dash blowing toward the "pilot". The faster the plane goes, the harder the fan blows!

[@oxivanisher]

This smells like a DIY 3D print project to me. It would be really great to have plans for this or even .stl files. Also combining this with head tracking would be even more epic!

[@wattwaster5936]

Head tracking is already possible, but many pilots would need to limit their head movement to get over disorientation issues many tend to suffer from. Quad pilots have to get use to this also since they can easily fly their quad in any direction they want, so the challenge is to get use to the FPV gear and orientation during flight.

[@jsking306]

Add a second seat so you can take passengers! Great video. I was smiling the entire time.

[@christianharriot1578]

The second seat needs to have tracking so the passenger can look around with the 360.

[@sxlixz]

If you're still wishing you had feedback from the throttle, i'd recommend adding a 2nd potentiometer to the same throttle, and connect that to a vibrating panel between the chair and your back. Similar to how you would be able to feel an engine wind up and down.

All the prototypes of John Overstreet make me drool and want to build ! The Me-262 on the wall is crying out to be my new Sloper for the summer, and the T-28 Trojan fascinates - please do keep us in the loop for the new designs as they come !

[@gryfandjane]

The camera tech alone is amazing, but combine it with RC and WOW. Yeah, this definitely calls for further development on the cockpit. Don’t forget the ejection seat. ;-)

[@jackharvey6514]

You should make an ejection seat. You could use a rocket to push it out. Love the content!

[@andremichettibergamo6929]

To improve the imersion a gimbal on camera and head tracking will be amazing.

[@O.L.D_RC]

Guys, that was great! Nice to see you fly together again. I want to do something similar but less stick movement. Thanks to Mattie for turning me on to a hand with my hobby. Working on a quad, the Versa Racer is next, have that frame and a Blur to build after. Was gonna the Versa first but another frame got here just ahead. Be well and stay safe. Oh...Got that Wished ordered I've been bugging you about!

[@R.B.E.W.]

Man... :'( You guys are doing what I've always wanted to do... I wish this was a sport, maybe "FPPR" (First Person Plane Racing) or "RC-FRL" (Remote Controled - Flight Racing League)... When the day comes, I'd LOVE to fly and race.

[@imakeitwhynot]

Since I was a kid, I have always wanted to see this. I don't follow the channel but these guys are very likeable, I love how much they enjoy doing this. Not just doing it for the views, they really do enjoy it.

[@Matthew-zx8cs]

I think a 360 video, one you can freely look around with on youtube would be amazing. Like a flying tour of the grounds. Using the RC cockpit on something big and unwieldy would also be fun to see. The helicarrier, flying tank or flying cozy coup.

[@anovandervort3460]

hi flitetest!! i am a big big fan of all your work! thanks for staying positive and fun

[@meansbeans_]

You guys should put markers on those wire so you don’t crash any aircraft into it.

[@wattwaster5936]

High viz pain would work in most cases, otherwise you would be talking streamers every two feet or so with high viz construction site tape. Paint would last longer in the sun, but you would need to make sure it wouldn't harm the wire, or coating it likely has.

[@flooringhi2483]

[@zachbarlow9391]

They need to make it augmented reality with the 360 camera so he can actually look around like a real cockpit.

[@gnrspeirs7671]

Wow. What a outside flight, I watched this fligt on my 42" tv. The quality was epic all the video angles brought an amazing experience to me watching. Thank you Flight Test Team.

[@m.s.aviation7065]

@FliteTest make another cockpit and do streamer tag!!! With valiants!!

[@DoctorBadVibez]

When you remember WHY you fell for Flite Test the first time. Misty eyes.

[@MrVerno1960]

Did you guys ever think while making that first RC Video 9 years ago (TaylorCraft) that the hobby would have progressed this far? High Def. First Person View, Flight Stabilizers, Quad Copters, 360 HD Video Onboard Camera recording equipment, unbelievable what has happened in that time-frame. I am now 60 years old but this hobby keeps me feeling like I am 16 again. Keep it up guys!

[@stuartdejong2219]

It would be Awesome to see the Roadrunner gas plane brought back to be flown with the new cockpit. The sound of the motor on that thing brings an extra level of realism all by itself.

Love how Josh is so into flying the Bixler with his setup, I use my Extreme Surfer to give everyone the awesome feel of real type flying. He should try a few faster planes or one of the miniquads with it, totally different adrenaline rush.

This was fun guys, thank you. I want a cockpit RC set up, that would be the bomb. Now it's time to design indestructible RC planes for dog fighting from a pilot view. I think designing a plane that can survive full speed impact would be one hell of a challenge. Design a plane that is held together by magnets and comes apart but the parts are indestructible. Micro RC with cockpit set up would also be killer.

Get ya an old video game arcade booth from the 80s, if you can find one. An old doctor friend of mine with too much money from our club back in the 80s built his virtual cockpit with a 19" glass TV and Amateur Radio TV downlink from the plane... It was fun to fly. He was written up in Model Aviation and a Ham mag back around 1989 or so. With todays tech this will be even easier to do again. You just need to find that old sit down video game booth and put curtains on either side to keep it dark in the cockpit. Anyway, really enjoyed this episode, brought back memories and I hope you guys will bring FliteFest back to the Austin area again someday soon. I had fun helping in the build tent with the kiddos.

[@knight907]

It’s great that you want to build a full cockpit to share with people who come to visit Edgewater, but wouldn’t it be even better to put out plans or a laser cut kit so everyone can build their own? Source your own chair, milk crate, plywood, and PVC, but the kit includes all the small parts. Maybe even work with some radio manufacturers to provide disassembled transmitter components that can be included in the kit and hooked to a regular transmitter through the trainer interface. 👍
