[@Shaunspeed]

Great colours....I cant resist a good sunset flight :)

[@aerofpv2109]

I enjoy sunset flight over sunrise flights. For me there easier to do haha. Glad you enjoyed this.

[@kenoath007]

Another great flight and wow what a great location, made for very interesting sight seeing... loved it!

[@aerofpv2109]

Hi Ken .. thanks mate and glad you enjoyed the sights and sounds of this wonderful waterfront.

[@jasontesta4933]

That is so cool keep up the good work by the three j

[@aerofpv2109]

Thanks JJ Jason haha ... Have you been to the field lately?

[@oregonfpv3953]

Excellent flight! SkyHunter is looking great!

[@aerofpv2109]

Hey thanks man. Enjoying this bird very much.

[@SkipBuiltRC]

Another Beauty My Friend. Golden hour is nice time to fly huh...!!!

[@aerofpv2109]

Oh yes they are and I see you have tons of those golden hour flights skip

[@SkipBuiltRC]

sometimes I fly for the view but mostly because that's the only time the wind dies here this season. Happy flying buddy. Skip

[@aerofpv2109]

Same here ... so calm when the sun is setting. Makes for great FPV flights.

[@tedtenpadrones1831]

Love this flight, beautiful scenery. Nice!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you my friend.

[@mostlyharmlessrc3920]

This is my favorite vid of yours so far man. Loved it! Super-smooth video and gorgeous scenery. What else could we ask for? Love your twin camera setup too. Thumbs up!

[@aerofpv2109]

Hey thanks so much for the great comment and feedback with my videos and setup. Glad you enjoyed this and put this tops :^)

[@Time2FLYAlDiaz]

Solid flight-Loving the various camera angles, well done!

[@aerofpv2109]

Thank you Al. Cool comments are always appreciated haha.

[@sipplix]

Oh man, that was a satisfying flight, thanks for sharing Aero, love the editing👍

[@aerofpv2109]

Anytime Simon and glad you enjoyed that flight. You're awesome mate.

[@TheSwiftHDSG]

Coolio! :D

[@aerofpv2109]

Hey thanks for passing by man ☺

[@MrCottonmouth]

Love this bird! Always a smooth flyer

[@aerofpv2109]

She sure is. So stable and most importantly ... predictable.

[@flyinflea]

That flight was a beauty mate. Nice scenery, solid vid, skyhunter doing what it does best...cruuuising. :)

[@aerofpv2109]

She sure is. She's need to be up there cruising around, it's her stage up there. Thanks mate. Have a great week.

[@MarkVellawyatt]

flights over water are special :) keep them coming my friend

[@aerofpv2109]

I agree Mark ... Just nice open vast skies with no obstructions especially along a coast. Thanks pal.

[@zyskman78]

Wow! Fixed wing is amazing. That’s some setup my man.

[@aerofpv2109]

Hey thanks. When it warms up a bit we can tandem this area again and create some cool footage.

[@anythingrc995]

I was just thinking wow you have come a long way since those early days with the DHC-2 Beaver, it's always a pleasure watching your videos does mate keep up the great videos my friend!

[@aerofpv2109]

Hey thanks for being such a great loyal KZbinr mate. It's people like you I make videos for.

[@LIVEFORONCE]

I just came across your footage. It was good, nice work.

[@aerofpv2109]

Hey thanks man. Glad you enjoyed it. Any RC thing that flies is what we enjoy haha. Cheers man & Happy New Year ☺

[@LIVEFORONCE]

Happy New Year to you as well!

[@LIVEFORONCE]

Happy New Year to you as well!

[@jusihya2004]

Man that is awesome!!

[@aerofpv2109]

Hey thanks man. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@sumerianrcpilot8889]

as fabulous as always

[@aerofpv2109]

Thank you kindly Mohammed

[@calypsoairfpv8655]

love it . you are the man!

[@aerofpv2109]

Hey thanks man. Glad you enjoyed it. You're awesome bro.

[@Stuied40]

Hey Aero, everytime I feel a bit disillusioned with my slow build process (Skywalker) or some kind of issue or another, one of your videos pops up...and I'm back in the game again!! I would love to get a Skyhunter next, but very hard to get hold of in the UK. Keep up the great work, your videos may have more of an affect on people than you think!

[@aerofpv2109]

Stuart .... one of the greatest comment I ever received and I thank you greatly for that mate. I am here for you if there are ever any questions. Again thanks for viewing my channel.

[@Starbuckin]

Beautiful!

[@aerofpv2109]

Thank you so much my SkyHunter brother. You're the best man.

[@ExperimentalFunRCss]

Gorgeous flight as usual! I took me a long time to get the nerve to fly over water!

[@aerofpv2109]

Yeah it's mental by I'm usually by the coast just in case i have to land. After many flights one gets confident with there setup and that's when you cross open water for miles. My SH is currently apart under going a TBO haha.

[@MajesticFlights]

Great flight buddy! Was it windy that day? Sounded like it?

[@MajesticFlights]

You'll have to show me this spot

[@aerofpv2109]

No it was very mild which is pretty normal at that time of day. You're used to no audio with the DJI haha. Plus the wind is wind passing the runcam mic.

[@aerofpv2109]

I have 2 spots which are literally as safe and isolated as you can get there by Sandyhook. Whenever you're ready partner.

[@Realman1981]

very nice footage, loves your video. subbed with the bell.

[@aerofpv2109]

Thank you PJ and so glad you enjoyed this flight by the Ocean.

[@skycandyfpv9482]

thats a real nice flight my friend im thinking of getting a big skyhunter or the big Talon but don,t know what to do

[@franklee90]

Thanks for your info. Beatifull video and landscspe. I have to improve my set up. I m using immersionrc 433mhz and vtx rtc 1080 mhz. With my rvjet. And diy dipole antenas. Not long range tested yet.

[@aerofpv2109]

Hey Frank .. anytime. Your setup sounds fine and I am excited you fly an RV Jet. I also have one and shes still in a box. I have to build her someday.

[@QuadDamageFPV]

Compellingly brilliant and beautiful flight. This plane has really hit your creative spot. Are you using an OSD or autopilot? I'm impressed that it can carry so much - I'm assuming you managed to wedge the 2200 pack in somehow? Useful advice in your description - keep blazing those trails geezer!

[@aerofpv2109]

Hey thanks a tonne for your thorough response mate. I'm using the Cyclop Storm OSD and she's powered separately with a 3s 1200mah and yet she can carry so much more. The 16,000mah 4s is no issue for her. Flies and tracks so nicely. A superb design with this platform. Cheers mate.

[@aerofpv2109]

Juan Hernandez Hi Juan ... I plan on doing that someday when I get a chance my friend. Thanks.

[@Rando104854]

Can't wait to set my Skyhunter up kinda like this.. What kind of hardware are you using? Like GPS, ect.? Thanks for sharing!!👍🏼 can't find very many Skyhunter FPV videos on here. But you have some of the best. I just need to find some kind of landing gear for my Skyhunter.

[@ExperimentalFunRCss]

FPV model has landing gear for the Skyhunter last time I checked, I bought a set. Didn't put it on mine tho... Good luck on your set up!

[@aerofpv2109]

Hi Randy and thanks for the cool words. My GPS is with my Cyclops Storm OSD. I highly recommend it. Such a great safety feature to have with RTL and so forth. I'm here for you man as well as others :^)

[@voldelurubu619]

Nice cruise

[@aerofpv2109]

Thank you my friend :^)

[@MrVasmikey]

Fantastic trip. Did you use waypoints?

[@aerofpv2109]

Hey thanks .. no waypoints. I just followed the shoreline on a round trip. Glad you enjoyed this.

[@camaro92026]

the 1.5w 1.2ghz transmitter will disrupt the servos and GPS and auto pilot derectly

[@aerofpv2109]

It could depending on your setup and/or shielding. This is why I now use 800mw vTx. The antenna is much more important than the mw power.

[@camaro92026]

Aero FPV I learned from you and did the same 800mw 1.2vtx and L9R with a XJT module and 2w booster. I'm going with a left hand CP pepper box and air blade so I can fly with a right hand CP friend. have you had any interference problems with your right hand Buddies? what channel's did you use with them?

[@pasifpv5508]

nice, i once used my l9r with 1.3ghz but it was crap! i even used an notch filter on the vtx

[@aerofpv2109]

Yea that stinks. There are several variables to find by trial & error to make things work in balance. I've been thru that and at times was frustrated but don't give up because when you find that sweet spot it is surreal man. I'm out 3+ miles / 5km and not high up and my video is almost 99% flicker/snow free. Again it's finding that sweet spot. Log your component setup during tests flights and reconfigure. I occasionally go to the field with many components and have several experimental flights that day to dial in my FPV gear.

[@crabby636r]

Any chance you'd be willing to make a video of your components and where you put them? I too am getting into FPV and I like to see what other people are doing and what they are using

[@aerofpv2109]

Hi Christopher ... In other video's I did list my components in the description for those whom were interested. When I do get a chance, I shall post a setup video. Thanks for passing by mate.

[@crabby636r]

Awesome! Thanx

[@aerofpv2109]

Anytime mate. It's a great hobby to go on FPV missions.

[@kahp23]

you should use music for background..... instead motor and wind sound

[@aerofpv2109]

Hi and glad you stopped by. My channel has a compilation of episodes with music, without music and a combination of music/original audio for different perspectives.

[@MichaelPipes101]

In your next videos of 2019, can you give show your ground station setup??????

[@aerofpv2109]

I have a simple GS. I only use a 1.2/3 GHz VAS pepperbox antenna with a 9" monitor. No diversity I highly recommend a high gain 13+dbi antenna for long range. It has a superb 120 degree FOV so I have no issues on any oval far out missions.

[@RCTeamAustria]

thumbs up

[@aerofpv2109]

Thanks and hope your thumb doesn't cramped up :^) haha

[@RCTeamAustria]

Aero FPV Never =)

[@inspiredbyinspire9234]

What an amazing view. How much range do you get on the frsky and did you modify it at all?

[@aerofpv2109]

Hi mate .... with a stock 1db tx antenna I would get 5km max and with a 5db tx antenna mod you can get 8+km safely. A simple great 2.4gHz range range with the X9D tx.

[@KLNYC]

my fave besst👍👍 i see my house.

[@aerofpv2109]

Haha yea some 16 miles away bro. It's beautiful there. C ya round partner.

[@Migueldeservantes]

May I ask you what video editing program you are using?

[@aerofpv2109]

Sure .. I am using Wondershare Filmora. You can download it for $49 and it's a great movie editing software. Here's there YT channel - kzbin.info/door/Y_LMaDAoa6hwHKBE4Dx56w

[@raffman4266]

Nice flying sir..what FC board are you using and what firmware?

[@aerofpv2109]

Thanks man. I sent you a link of the FC on your other comment. Glad you enjoyed my FPV missions.

[@FPVDiverBomber]

wow your chanel and flights are awesome... I want a skyhunter type plane.. which is the best to get?

[@aerofpv2109]

I would highly recommend the SkyHunter. She is a strong, stable long range platform and she flies so great Robert. I love this airplane, as you can see haha.

[@FPVDiverBomber]

is this the version your using? if not please send me a link to it- www.fpvmodel.com/2014-new-skyhunter-1-8m-airplane-fpv-platform-epo_g25.html

[@aerofpv2109]

Yes it is Robert ... perfect. It may become your favorite soon. She literally flies herself.

[@EduardoFritisRealtor]

Very nice Aero, what is the range of the L9R?

[@aerofpv2109]

Thanks Eduardo ... with a stock 1db tx 3 miles / 5km is normal and with a mod 5db antenna on the X9D one can expect 5 miles / 8+ km in a low RF noise environment. For 2.4 frequency that is very impressive.

[@EduardoFritisRealtor]

Very impressive! I like your Intro too.

[@aerofpv2109]

Thank you for the great feedback and glad you enjoy my channel as I do your my friend.

[@EduardoFritisRealtor]

Many thanks Aero!!

[@nexofpv9588]

sweet flying as always :) Im scared when flying over/near houses.Maybe you can put some music over the video next time? :)

[@aerofpv2109]

Hey thanks. My setup has an external BEC so even if the motor, prop, ESC, lipo voltage, etc were to die I still have full control of her and can land her where I want. Some subscribers ask me for an all natural (no music, only wind) flights and so I mix my videos up a bit for my viewers. But heck yea I will add some cool music to my next video. Thanks for the feedback man. Awesome!

[@nexofpv9588]

Aero FPV well,everyone liks different things

[@aerofpv2109]

We sure do haha. Too many airplanes to like & fly. You rock Nexo thanks man.

[@nexofpv9588]

öhm.Im interessted on the mini skyhunter(because donthave a car,still in school ;) ) .Do you think it will carry the gopro with a pantilt?

[@aerofpv2109]

Hey that's a great little airplane but way to small for the GoPro with PNT. Since shes a 3 channel heres what I'd do .... Use a runcam or mobius (small HD cam) mounted to a 9 gram servo for just panning, as I only do, and use your rudder channel (since there isn't a rudder on the SkyHunter) to pan around. Simple yet effective as I do with small wings.

[@MatHolliday]

Of course you release a new video while I'm at work :/

[@aerofpv2109]

Haha oh sorry ... didn't HR inform you Mat :^) I did e-mail them on your behalf. Hey thanks for viewing and glad you enjoyed it.

[@RelaxinFPV]

Don't you have any problem of range with 1.2Ghz vidéo and 2.4Ghz RC ?

[@aerofpv2109]

I am using the VAS 1.2/2.4 notch filter on my vTx and have never had any issues. Rock solid. Also a lot of separation between components

[@aerofpv2109]

Just as important ... I am not using an over powering vTx. Only an 800mw. Makes a major difference. If using a 1.2w or 1.5w vTx you will get some RF interference.

[@RelaxinFPV]

ok, i didn't know that a simply notch filter could be used to avoid the problem for RC :)

[@aerofpv2109]

Yeah it's simply amazing for it doesn't allow for that occasional overlapping of frequencies to interfere with one another.

[@break3step807]

which osd do you use??

[@aerofpv2109]

I have always used the very reliable Cyclops Storm. You get so much tech for the price point. Tho Vector is tops but pricey. Thanks for swinging by mate.

[@JakeBullit123]

I tried1.2 with x8r and range was dramatically reduced.what is the key?notch filter/specific frequency? also how did you mod TX for 5dbi?

[@aerofpv2109]

Hi Jake .. the X8R has telemetry also being sent back to your tx and can cause slightly more interference than a non-telemetry L9R. The VAS notch filter I use is a 1.2/2.4 filter. As for the 5db tx mod here it is - www.banggood.com/Wholesale-FrSky-2_4G-V8-Series-5dB-Module-Antenna-p-68703.html?rmmds=search I highly recommend.

[@JakeBullit123]

Aero FPV great info thanks.

[@aerofpv2109]

Anytime Jake. I'm here for you mate.
