@Motionsic RC & FPV every time i land, i am looking for that information. Tail draggers are very difficult for this.. Dont stop with your content.. its very helpful
Have you ever tried a heads up display? I have a slope soaring fpv rig with vario/airspeed on the h.u.d. All ran through a Matek f405 f.c. you could also set audible stall speed alarms on your radio. I used the vario tone for sloping for awhile before it started driving me crazy😂
No. I have not used FC’s or OSD telemetry yet. I should, but find that simply using my reflex sight is sufficient for my flying. So much easier to setup🙂
Subscribing just now for more! Awesome experience, great job! That is definetly a goal for scale RC modeling. I had some experience with Eachine Goggles a few years ago before I stopped flying, nothing much though. I rember I dind't have the image that clear, different from the vídeo reccorded direct to the SD Card in the cam, wich had good quality. Is this quality we're watching here the same you have live from the Goggles? Any delays at all?
Bro the no canopy windshield fucks with me bro, I just think about the lost aerodynamics , I dont even use the landing gear on my Eachine because of this, I want to cut thru the air
Excellent job on the landings and flying. I'm very interested in this head tracking thing but I would want an air speed indicator mainly for the landings. I have seen some but don't know if they have them for the smaller planes.
They do have airspeed sensors for FrSky and Spektrum receivers. You can program transmitter to have airspeed readout. To get airspeed on screen display in the goggles, you will need to install a flight controller as well. Something I am learning to do….
Fantastic flying. Great video. I have completed my E-flight T-28 with HT gimbal (self designed and built) using a Caddx Vista nano-pro and all ground testing is complete and I'm ready to fly. I have chosen to not add a flight controller yet but may in the future to get all the relevant telemetry in my goggles. Questions: -Do you use any type of flight stabilization gyros? -You mentioned in another video that you use very tame rates for fpv flying. Would you care to elaborate a little on percentages from the manufactures recommendations for control throws? From a happy subscriber, Thanks!
Thanks. Regarding flight stabilization, I use Fly Eagle A3Super3 on the Viper, no stabilization in the E-flite T-28. About the rates, I always start with the linkages, by moving them to the outer most hole on the surface horn, and closest to the inner most hole on servo horn while still being able to reach manufacturers recommended throws by increasing the servo travel (end point adjustment). This provides the maximum resolution with least slop and best mechanical leverage (least torque required from servo). I then adjust the high rate and low rates based on flight experience from the cockpit. Moving from LOS to FPV flying, a good rule of thumb is from 100% to 70%, but I usually end up using even lower rates for FPV, especially for formation flying. But I switch back to to high rates for landing or low speed maneuvering.
@@motionsic Great info. Thanks for sharing your knowledge & experience. I'll play around with a third rate position to address full elevator travel for landing specifically. -Follow up question, do you employ a flap/elevator mix? (typically used in LOS flying when flaps are deployed) I have flown a dozen aircraft but the T-28 will be the first with flaps.
That was awesome. You've got great skills man. Any tip on how not to stall this viper flying FPV on a maiden? I have FMS Viper 90 (non US version), and looking forward to maiden flight once I get DJI O3 Air Unit.
Best tip, is not to set your flap deflections too much. Half flaps is about 15° and full flaps is around 30°. That will give you plenty of time to flare even at idle throttle. Also setup a little reflex on aileron (half trailing edge thickness up). If you have separate channels for aileron, you can setup crow (see @TwoBrosRC for his high alpha setup). Setup your camera so horizon evenly splits the screen on the ground. And have top of dash in view so you can intuitively use that against horizon for attitude reference. Taxi around a bit to get used to the view before maiden flight. Use 50% throttle or more for cruise flight. Whenever throttle is lower than 50%, be ware not to raise nose above horizon. On landings, keep 25%-30% on approach until you have the runway made.
How does the VR work with the RC plane and remote control system? Was that pre installed or did you personally do that? It’s very cool and I’m interested in it
Details in the description. A head-tracker senses head orientation and inputs the the signals to RC transmitter via trainer function which then control the gimbal onboard aircraft to move the camera. The head-tracker and gimbal are plug and play, just need two spare channels on RC transmitter and receiver.
Nice touch and goes. I missed the aerial refueling though! What was that battery voltage when you got down? I was hoping it wasn't going to go to low voltage cutoff....
Ha! I did stretch the flight a little too long, the footage even left out half a lap of the plane climbing to altitude😅. I think had 3.75V left per cell after landing. I typically finish around 3.78-3.8V.
Yes. A slip is handy if approach is too high. But I normally approach carrying a bit of power, so shallower than no power approach glide slope. So normally a slip is not needed. But for sure slip would be handy in a dead stick situation🙂
Hi! Watching your videos is always a treat, as I admire this innovative concept of immersive RC flight in a virtual cockpit. Your work is really remarkable and I think you are one of the pioneers in this field.
Thank you! Not content to be just an pioneer, but also an strong advocate to popularize this way to enjoy RC flying, in addition to conventional line of sight flying. One plane two uses😁
@@motionsicDo you think it would be possible to improve the cockpit view in the future..? I'm not an expert in digital technologies, but the idea would be to benefit from the head-up vision (HUD) by piloting your RC device, as if you were playing this view in a flight simulator. Although having adapted a rotating camera instead of the pilot in coordination with the virtual helmet is already a genius idea. I think referential assistance set either in the helmet view or in the cockpit of the aircraft would be a plus. Hoping that the interpretation of my vision is understandable to you..
@@motionsicNot only am I convinced that this concept of RC flight will become more popular, but also that it will be technologically predominant in the future, as it is much more immersive and precise than visual control from the ground. Perhaps there will even be enthusiasts experienced enough in this field to establish acrobatic patrols or races, as is already done with drones.
@@JackD-ru2gf OSD (on screen display) flight info such as airspeed, altitude are available by installing flight controller like INAV or Arduplane. True HUD remains to be developed. I hope to have a version available in a couple of years😉
