[@richardhallyburton]

I was just thinking "is he piloting from a different camera than the one we're looking at?" when I got my answer! 😂

[@xjet]

YAY!!! great to see you back in the air with a perenial favourite!

[@tedmoyses2942]

Lol, you do have to look where you are going occasionally mate!

[@geraldbrogan696]

Not always, just every now and then....

[@satilliteaerialview5337]

Now "THAT" is what flying RC Aircraft is about. "fantastic".

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Thanks! You soon forget you are sitting on the ground ;-)

[@captaincrash9286]

This popped up in my recommendations, so pleased to find this channel! I had so much pleasure from the old spoktra videos I was inspired to start rc flying myself this year. Smashing my toys up is more fun than I thought possible...! Thank you. 🙏😁

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Thanks for watching Captain! Spokky was a long time ago, we all miss that era enormously. It was so much fun!

[@ched999uk]

That was great to see, not the crash but the flight especially the 'over the shoulder' tractor and chase plane.

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Thanks Ched! It is a great reconnaissance tool lol!

[@Chilternflyer]

Rupes. I'm so pleased to see that you're back in the air with another Spitfire. ;-) (I must have another go at getting my acromaster flying with INAV).

[@alanhobbs4879]

Great range! Fast and low too, I love it! Nice pan too, I like that it looks backwards. I hope your bird is OK.

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Thanks, she is ready to go again! There will be some good videos to come with other planes and smoke etc..

[@streetlugechris]

Awesome 👍 I guess it was back for a while 🤣🤣 Interesting to see the wing bail out as he could see what was coming. You need to up your game by chasing or being chased by 109 or fw190. Brilliant as ever Rupe's

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

4 of us fly FPV together now and we have warbird plans! ..involving smoke..

[@CurryKitten]

I do love that view.... well the forwards one, it doesn't work so well for tree avoidance when you are looking behind :)

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Thanks Wayne..no obstacle avoidance on this one haha.. was hoping I would skim past the trees and it would be a great shot! ooops!

[@olliea6052]

Now that looks like a lot of fun. Hope the spitfire is ok!

[@ftaliyfpv692]

Feels the real plane !!

[@scottthompson2481]

Love it . And great tune for the occasion . All the best mate .................

[@Vortecks]

Pure beauty mate. I've still got mine and it's ready for its second flight but (after the disastrous maiden) I'm only held back by my nerves 😬

[@HavardStreAndresen]

That was both beautiful and hilarious:-)

[@LtDavidB312]

She lives again!

[@HaukLanglo]

Did the camera get stuck or were you just too crazy? Very cool video. Hope the plane is salvageable.

[@sUASNews]

Outstanding as ever, I hop you and yours are all well.

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Thanks bud. We are all well here, hope you and family also? Always had you in mind when building this one that you would enjoy watching it, I think you are it's No#1 fan :-)

[@Willf85]

Yes! Love your spitfire vids!

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Thanks Bud, there will be lots more to come from this plane if I watch where I'm going haha!

[@AdamGdoesFPV]

Awesome! I somehow missed that your Spitfire is back! I'm currently building one of these myself with a very similar setup (Dynam V3). It's a bit of a fiddly job carving out the battery bay and getting the cameras positioned well and in a way that you hit CG. I'm just making decisions on how I want to build it to allow belly landings at the moment. Would love to have kept the landing gear but wheels seem only good for concrete runways (or extremely well kept grass maybe).

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Hey Adam, please note that I split my fuselage at the glue joint this time, and carved each side on its own, it was loads easier.. but to my horror.. I discovered they add a 120g block of lead in the nose before joining the halfs! You wouldn't know it is in there.. So I removed it and added 120g of cells instead hahah! If you need an image of where it is, I have a spare split fuselage in my loft and can get it down for a picture if you need to see the location of the lead! You could then dig it out without splitting the fuselage if you don't want to.

[@chiewy778]

Love the perspective, flight altitude, and the music. Hope the damage wasn’t too severe. At that last moment you can see the wing trailing you pull ⬆️ hard. Stay safe and happy flying!

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Thanks Ben! She has flow again fine..

[@EnglishTurbines]

Ah, like the old days again....keep your eyes on the road tho....lol.

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Thanks, yeah probably a bit too long in the rear view!

[@EnglishTurbines]

@@OMEGOOLIEBIRD Loved that old clip with the Spit in those fluffy white clouds...

[@pauldraugel7133]

Great video! But I had to watch it a second time because the music put me to sleep the first time! LOL!

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Haha! Chill song :-)

[@10_FPV]

Nice!!!! Awesome vid!!! Hope the spitfire is fine

[@DavePinnock]

hahaha always good to look where you're going :-D

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

yeah, I would say I have learnt.. but probably not haha!

[@Shreyam_io]

spitting love instead of fire

[@westey2611]

Nice little spoktra50 saying

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Splat! Get in that tree! Miss flying with those lads. Thanks for watching.

[@barryg41]

Smooth as silk....never mind! 🤣🙌

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Thanks Bazza! Splat! Get in that tree haha!

[@SladkaPritomnost]

Yay! Except the end, hope the pilot is fine...

[@motionsic]

Impressive low level flight - below tree tops! How do you hold altitude when looking back?

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Same way you can ride a bike looking backwards, just takes the brain a little time to adjust.. just got to remember to look forward haha!

[@REDROBRCFPV]

So simple but so good👍great vid!

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

thanks!

[@MrBlackbrabus1]

I was shouting at the screen "look forward".....whack. hope she can be saved

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

She's firing on all cannons again mate, ready to Fockk and roll :-)

[@이시훈-k4n]

Wonderful! is that equipped with a head tracker?

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Yes, Fatshark Trinity head tracker. GWS 1T 360 sail winch servo.

[@ashgork]

Nice, Spitfire is BACK !!!

[@crashrr2993]

Awesome, glad to read that ’twas… but a scratch!

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Unfortunately, recently it had an aileron servo fail on takeoff.. it banked right, straight into my girlfriends car window. It totaled the plane and took me 2 full days to remove the glass and repair the car. You can see it happen in the latest spitfire video.. we didn't include the whole shot, because I don't want to bring the hobby into disrepute, it would scare some people an rc plane punching through a car window.. I'm done with Spitfires now sadly..

[@crashrr2993]

@@OMEGOOLIEBIRD Oh no, what a disaster! It’s the same old story: you have to have everything right to fly, but only one thing wrong to crash! But, really, she shouldn’t have parked there!

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

@@crashrr2993 That is so true! More that can go wrong than right! It was my fault, I borrowed her car.. luckily it wasn't the £50k Porsche parked right next to it!!

[@wad5uk]

Very nice. Hope the Spit is ok. More footage please.

[@grumpyrse]

Get under that bridge 😁

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

No water again please haha lol...

[@stonebayrocker]

Hahaha! Great video! Looks like a nice rig! What flight time do you get on that battery pack?! Cruising amps/max amp?

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Hi, 60km total flight. 10a cruise/ 50a on full Merlin :-)

[@Chio_OB]

Magnetic Ninja Stealth Trees......

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Plain old trees that have been there the whole time..right there..Just waiting for the day.. it came..

[@unixoid33]

12,000mah 4s4p LGHG2 18650 li-ion why so big battery? speed about 100kmh?

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Cruise 80-90kmh 10-14a. 60km total range. Needs the nose weight to counteract the Go-pro, so better lithium than lead!

[@peterzingler6221]

4s4p how long is this flying? 90min?

[@flyinbryanfpv]

OMG awesome

[@blackbirdboy1]

LMFAO. You know exactly when your about to hit the tree, the AR900 following you pulls up! Looks like a new airframe too. Is it now as banged up as the old one? Hopefully fixable? Look forward to more from it. Also, what about footage from the AR?

[@cut-metal]

Where is the propeller???

[@unixoid33]

в пасмурную погоду иногда его не видно.

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Yeah strange, sometimes you can see it, others not..sometimes it looks stopped when it is spinning too. Maybe a frame rate thing.

[@julianducros8952]

How do I get into this

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Save some cash, ask as many questions as you need then dive in! Do you already fly rc?

[@FlyingFun.]

Hope its fixable again!

[@OMEGOOLIEBIRD]

Yes She is ready to scramble at a moments notice again :-)
