FPV Chase: Prop Plane vs Jet, Can It Keep Up? E-flite 1.2m T-28 vs Viper 90 

Thanks for watching, glad you are inspired to get back in the cockpit!

Thank you Jim! The bigger the airplane and the more often one practice formation flying, the easier it becomes. Cheers!

Thanks. Head-tracking FPV camera makes it easier compared to fixed camera.

Nice

Thank you! Cheers!

Surprising how much fun the little T-28 can be🙂

@@motionsic Absolutely. I flew T-28s in the Navy in the early 1970s and I remember it as a very honest aircraft with no bad habits (but I don't remember being able to keep up with any of the jets). Always enjoy your videos.

@@tu_alum5619 Glad to hear a real T-28 pilot enjoying the video! This small T-28 has great handling qualities and can go almost vertical indefinitely with the right prop (way over powered) which makes it super fun! Did you guys use reflector sights on the real one? If so were the reticles like the one shown here - Navy Mk8 type?

@@motionsic To quote a movie line "been a minute, huh Mav?" - and about 50 years for me. Being basic trainers, the T-28s that I flew were not configured with weapons systems, and I don't recall any gun sights on them. At the time, a few of those aircraft were configured for counterinsurgency missions in Viet Nam, and probably had sighting systems appropriate to the ordinance that they carried. Not sure about being a "real" T-28 driver - I only had about a hundred hours in them, flying out of NAS North Island while I was between jet squadron assignments and the T-28 flying was for maintaining proficiency. Most of the air time involved IFR practice (North Island was frequently socked in), formation practice and aerobatics. It was a solid performer, and always fun to fly. Given the power to weight ratios of R/C models, the hand-eye coordination required, and the basic nature of the models that you guys fly, I would guess that the skill sets necessary to fly your models well is a lot more involved than what I learned way back when. For the purposes of your FPV flights, I will only offer that the success of a formation flight is very much dependent on how smooth the pilot who is flying lead. I've flown wing on pilots who were so smooth that it made me look good, but others, not so much. Have fun.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you😁

Thank you! Digital FPV gear are becoming more affordable. A good used pair of goggles like the one I used in this video goes for around $200 now. In case you want to consider updating…

Haha, that’s a good one!

Thanks!

Yeah, a little change in prop makes a huge difference in performance.

o

That’s the spirit!

The 6S 6000 is for Viper 90 & CZ T-28 2m. I use old 4S4000 for T-28 1.2m. Your 4S 3200mAh is fine. Changing prop to APCe 12x8 prop would boost performance and flight time.

Thanks!

Used OG air unit in this video. I just turned low power mode off for O3 in my other planes. It’s sufficient for me to fly in my RC field. So I am not concerned about having full power.

@@motionsic very good! Thank you for the quick reply.

You need a air RC transmitter with at least 8 channels and trainer capable (can receive student PPM input) and following components: DJI Goggles Integra: www.dji.com/mobile/goggles-integra DJI O3 Air unit www.dji.com/mobile/o3-air-unit Motionsic BAG - BadAss Gimbal fpvdogfight.com/products/motionsic-b-a-g-badass-gimbal Tally-Ho 2 Head-tracker fpvdogfight.com/products/tally-ho-2-prebuilt-head-tracker For a first EDF jet to try out FPV, I recommend the Freewing T-33. It’s forgiving and can be fast when you remove the wingtip tanks.

thank you so much@@motionsic

Great video, how you deal with the remote ID when turn the fpv integra on? How does the remote ID work only goggles and camera? Thank you

You are right!! Much higher pitch prop than stock for high speed, too!

Glad you are motivated to join in the fun.

@@motionsic ow wow this sooo cool 😎 thank you so much!! What type of receiver and transmitter would be ideal? Like how many channels? And what brand works best?? 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 many thanks!!

@@ghazalimohammed you will want a transmitter with at least 10 channels if you want to do FPV long term. I use FrSky X20S and love it. FrSky X18S is good, too. I like the FrSky since it allows me to use headtracker wirelessly via Bluetooth. RadioMaster T16S is also very popular among FPV pilots.

what's a FX30?

The reflector sight will be for sale soon. Assembling now…

What orientation is your head-tracker?

Hmm I hope I get this right. So the head tracker itself on my goggles is in the hanging position. One of my gimbals are with the wire closest to the front of the gimbal. The head tracker is hanging on the left side of the goggles. @@motionsic

@@larsulrich3356 if your head-tracker is the same orientation as shown on my website: fpvdogfight.com/products/tally-ho-head-tracker Then the orientation specification is: X= 0° Y= -90° Z= 180° When I finish magnetometer calibrations the numbers are usually around these:

Thank you. I will talk to my tech savvy friends to assist me and maybe I will catch back up with you if I have nay other questions.@@motionsic

Voice? Just using my cell phone. OG air unit has mic to record onboard sounds.
