RC Mig-29 Jet Immersive FPV Landings using Head Tracker

[@karlosio1]

Amazing footage! Do you have info available about your gimbal design? It is very smooth and can turn in a wide angle. I am planning to build an fpv cockpit for the eflite focke wulf. :)

[@motionsic]

That’s plenty of space to fit my gimbal. And you can easily adjust height to get to proper pilot eye position. Servos are top quality digital, metal gear, ball bearing and custom ordered from Savox in Taiwan. Should be available in a few more months. I might produce working Revi reflector sight in the not too distant future. So that would go nicely in the FW-190. Check out the Zero fighter cockpit picture in my community page.

[@karlosio1]

@@motionsic I am defenitely interested in your gimbal. I already contacted tim79de for the revi gunsight but unfortunately, he hasn't one for sale anymore. If you produce these, I would be interested in that for sure! The zero picture is amazing, just like the real thing! Great work!

[@pfluftfoto3188]

@@motionsic You really have inspired me to pick up FPV head tracking flying again. 10 years since last time, then with analoge set up. I would love to try your gimbal set up in my Freewing T-33. Current setup is a bit jittering and I have limited pan & tilt.

[@motionsic]

@@pfluftfoto3188 So glad you chimed in to say that. That is the whole point of setting up this channel! With HD FPV, the realism is at different level compared to analog FPV. Especially with a smooth pan & tilt tuned for 1:1 with head movement. The Freewing T-33 maybe a little on the tight side. The gimbal needs a cylindrical space about 40mm in diameter, about 50mm tall (dome top) in cockpit to moved freely. I no longer have the T-33 to check, but gimbal should fit fine.

[@pfluftfoto3188]

@@motionsic I carved out space in my T-33 so I have enough space. Currently servotravel is my limitation in pan. Tilt is limited by gimbal design as you can see in thus flight 2 days ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWrVfoSrjrlleac

Wow so smooth and it feels like you are flying a real jet

[@townsendheal8471]

Awesome !! This is what I imagined doing about 20 years ago when I was a kid and had just gotten my first RC plane! I went to the park and I crashed it multiple times lol. Always tried to figure out a way to put a camera on it but the RC (heavy equipment , needed a lot more thrust) and/nor camera technology was just not there yet, at the time (late 90s/early200s). Enjoy that ish !

[@motionsic]

The RC equipments nowadays are much better than 20 years ago. And flying electric planes are way more convenient vs nitro engine powered ones. It’s a good time to get back in to RC flying😉

[@annoyedcat9291]

This has got to be the coolest thing I see for an RC plane!!. And MiG-29 is my favorite Russian jet

[@JonHuhnMedical]

I've wondered for years when people smarter than me would figure out a way to do this! Beautiful work!!

[@motionsic]

Thank you, cheers! I have made a kit for other RC flyers to easily do this if they want. Head-tracking is not new, it was just cumbersome for people to implement and thus not widely used.

[@JonHuhnMedical]

@@motionsic What I'd love even more than this, is head tracking on a two camera rig so you have depth perception, and then mount this to an RC submarine of some kind. Then you could observe underwater wild life in ponds and such!

[@motionsic]

@@JonHuhnMedical that’s no small obstacle to overcome. The digital FPV goggles currently are already pushing limits of low latency high resolution transmission at 1080P 100fps with single video stream. The air unit needs cooling airflow to keep from over-heating which would be difficult in a sub, need fluid cooling. Also probably need tethered transmission. The 5.8gHz Spectrum used for video transmission do not penetrate water much at all, nor the 2.4GHz for RC control. That little request, would take $millions to solve…

[@JonHuhnMedical]

[@motionsic]

Indeed! I am enjoying it immensely. One gets the thrill of flying a fighter jet without risk or exorbitant cost. And enough skin in the game so that it hurts to crash and not like video game or simulator where crash has no consequence. More people join in, the more fun, doing formation, dogfights and such.

[@GiantAntCowboy]

[@darioinfini]

Interesting. Three ways I can think of to do this: 1) This 2) Flight sim 3) Real plane Which is least expensive? Which is most satisfying? IDK. But this is definitely one of those ways. All three are cool.

[@motionsic]

Sim is less expensive, though not by much if one goes for top of the line graphics. RC planes are more thrilling since there is risk of crashing. And not as risky as flying real plane. This is a sweet spot for fun and thrills.

[@darioinfini]

@@motionsic Haha yes indeed. Really it takes a special breed of person to do RC. I did it for awhile and crashed my way out of the hobby. I actually did something kind of similar about 12 years ago -- I put an FPV camera on an RC helicopter and flew it around. It was unnerving as this thing was essentially a flying lawnmower so the risk of injury or damage was pretty scary and the technology just wasn't that good back then. Video and drone technology has exploded since then. Now I get my thrills flying VR headset on the simulator. Very similar feel to what you're doing but no risk of crash. BUT -- I do get to do "missions" -- flying the heli to do various tasks, lifting, air combat support, etc. Would be interesting to expand the RC world to doing something like that -- flying missions, air combat, supporting RC construction LOL. That would be the cutest thing. And also thrilling because dropping the RC heli onto the RC construction site would be basically RC catastrophe LOL. Then you'd need the RC firetrucks to come put the fire out and the RC ambulances to take the RC injured away.

[@joet7136]

Very cool idea and looks like it was executed beautifully from the video!

That’s what I’ve always dreamt RC flight should be. Now I just need to get that 2nd mortgage to cover the costs of the FPV setup and an F-105G kit large enough to handle the equipment. 😁

[@motionsic]

Taking out a 2nd mortgage is too much risk riding on RC planes. But budgeting to save about 3 grand to buy proper equipment is a worthwhile goal. 1K for the head-tracking FPV gear. 1K for radio and support equipment like charger, tools, etc. 1K for plane and flight batteries. Don’t start out flying the Thud though. Need to go through a couple of training planes like T-28 and T-33 to build proficiency. So budget 4K🙂

With each passing year regulations are getting stricter and stricter, though I must say that it would be nightmarish weaving between buildings and having some sort of accident.

The legal fallout would be ridiculous, even without restrictions on RC planes themselves.

Hi Zach, that's exactly the motivation for me to start flying this way. There's the other option of flying simulator, MS or DCS, which are both pretty good. But if you have prior RC experience, head-tracking FPV RC flying is a great option. After the initial setup cost, running cost is almost negligible compared to flying GA.
