GoPro Nitro FPV 1100m (Over 3600ft) Altitude Through Clouds Got Scared and Came Down Fast!

There were some dark stormy looking rain clouds within reach today, so I reached them! Firt time through a cloud! The airplane doesn't have any problem climbing, my main issue was with the video feed cutting out and going staticky on me :( Need to hook up my higher gain antenna and point it straight up next time!
My plane has Auto-stabilization, Return To Launch, and Failsafe settings along with complete OSD info display, so I wasn't too worried about losing my bearings if I poked through a cloud. It still is kinda spooky, though. I mean, IFR with an RC Plane? Yikes!
If things ever get bad, I would just flip it to Auto-Circle mode and cut the throttle and it would have no choice but to circle back down to me. I can hear full-sized planes anytime they get within a mile, so that wasn't an issue... Just trying to be as cautious as possible.

There’s a sense of flying a real full scale plane here.

@MessengerOfDestruction 12 лет назад

You sir have inspired me to take up yet another hobby. Sincerely, appreciated.

@ydrts_915 20 дней назад

Great vid! You gotta love how someone uploads something 12yrs ago and the comments/questions are continuing like it was published last week:) (probably a testament to the evergreen nature and quality of the content)

@glassdogangle 12 лет назад

Woo hoo! Can't have too many subscribers! Working on another video for your viewing pleasure...

Nice take off, maintaining, approaching and landing dude, it's awesome.

@deankinch6328 11 лет назад

i fly 450 size Helis and have just began my quest into FPV after a year as a beginner getting my skills up to scratch. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks. Cant wait to see some, and hopefully soon above those clouds :-)

@marcelofrivas 10 лет назад

wow excellent flight and especially very good landing! Congratulations!

Well done mate ! Carry on and don't ever chicken out ever

@achilles22382 11 лет назад

you rock man, really. your videos are the best. i think because you live in such a pretty area. and, not alot of guys fly FPV nitro, i dont think. well maybe they do and i just am ignorant its happened before. anyway, keep up the awesome work

@Thenormalguy_real_one 6 лет назад

I love the rolling shutter

@FlyersDistrict 12 лет назад

I've done 2.1 miles on 72. There are also amplifiers that will increase your range tremendously! - If you start getting glitches, just raise your tx - stand on a chair or a table, that should give you a couple thousand feet more, or at least enough to turn around.

@glassdogangle 12 лет назад

That's awesome. You won't regret it!

@burkehendrickson9422 10 лет назад

How did you get the GoPro to send live video feed to the onboard transmitter? I have the ts-352 transmitter connected to a GoPro Hero 3 Black but can't get any picture..

@orangedog1306 10 лет назад

Very cool. Nice job!

@MiamiJato 10 лет назад

did you use a long range system like dragonlink to go that high, or just plain radio signal?, thanks.....

@OLEG69M 9 лет назад

Good flight. I also want to try FPV with nitro engine. Risky, but interesting. Good luck.

@glassdogangle 12 лет назад

That would do it probably. Hey, if I have fresh batteries in my 72mHz Futaba transmitter and receiver, how much range do you think I can get? I got out to 4km easy yesterday with no failsafe glitches at all...

@richardwallinger1683 10 лет назад

@scottykify 10 лет назад

Just curious if you ever had issues with vibration and fuel getting on the camera? I fly a trainer fpv, mounted a go pro in about the same spot as you and it looks horrible from the vibrations and gets fuel on the lens instantly even from running it up on the ground.. Any suggestions? Thanks

@bernardmelus54 10 лет назад

Is that an os60 you got on there if so I got the same one on my plane

@ScoutingwithDigger 11 месяцев назад

When diving from that hight do you have to worry about thermal shock or icing? Cool video

@jamespruitt8965 2 года назад

What model of plane do you have and did it come standard with those features

@JohanFasth 11 лет назад

There is possibly a small delay in video precessing of the signal in the camera. GoPro is one that people have been talking about having a very short lag. It is noticeble but just barely. Nothing that affect anything.

@thevickp 12 лет назад

subscribed!... btw how long does that engine run for before running out of gas?

@marshallkok5267 2 года назад

What engine do you have in that plane?

@sikeletonreiz8084 3 года назад

is it more efficient than electric?

@glassdogangle 11 лет назад

No. There is no delay or lag in the video signal (actually, there is, technically because of the speed of light and radio waves, but it is absolutely undetectable to a human).

@naimelshakshuki1754 9 лет назад

Thanks for sharing, I wasn't sure if I could run fpv on my gas plane, now I know that there is a way, thumbs up

@joshmellon390 Год назад

Please tell me you had an airspeed sensor for that dive lol

@Soldier53flyer 10 лет назад

That is a great plane, why don't you fly it any more?

@FlyersDistrict 12 лет назад

My first FPV flights were with Nitro....I miss it so I am going back to it for an attempt at 15 miles

@GatisKandis 10 лет назад

Loved the nose dive!!! Reminded me when I was in a glider and pilot did this. Incredible feeling! Make more! Do you know what was the maximum speed of it when it was coming down?

@glassdogangle 10 лет назад

Not sure of the maximum airspeed in the dive. I only had GPS groundspeed data on the OSD. Came down pretty fast, though...

@HyperJoe 9 лет назад

That Dive was a Crazy fast desent, I'm amazed the wings didn't fold up...lol

@powernicky 7 лет назад

Well if he went from 3600 feet to ~100 feet in 37 seconds (going by running time on video), that's a dive speed of 64MPH... lucky those wings stayed in one piece!!! Great vid!

@midwestsirens 5 лет назад

+Gatis Kandis Never thought I'd see you here! I bet that wing came close to flying off.

@nastynate-lc7yf 5 лет назад

wen are you going to do another high altitude flight

@FlyersDistrict 12 лет назад

There is also a mod you can do to your 72mhz rx to get RSSI reading.

@glassdogangle 12 лет назад

So I should stay within 4km or so for safety. As far as turning around, hopefully my FY31-AP RTL will kick in as usual and the plane will turn around and head home by itself. When I got out to 4km yesterday, I manually turned on RTL and it turned around and flew home by itself. I test my RTL constantly to make sure it is working properly!

@glassdogangle 11 лет назад

Just set it a little rich before takeoff. Been as high as 13,00 ft. Check my other videos...

@FlyersDistrict 12 лет назад

I am thinking Dragon Link for remote - Urban Drones OSD for navigation - 2.4ghz for video link

@Dustin42076 10 лет назад

Nice flight man, this video is old but I can see why they are banning FPV because that's way to high im to scared to go that high with all the air traffic by me I would hate my self if I took out a full size plane. Be safe and hit up the FAA forms its a sad time for all FPV users :(

@glassdogangle 11 лет назад

No, Oregon, USA

@johndoe528 4 месяца назад

Really too bad the FAA has made this kind of flight impossible for the average hobbyist.

@TNT_FPV 2 месяца назад

@Jawst 10 месяцев назад

This is awesome but I don't think you can do it in many places anymore. I think there are quite a lot of restrictions on flight Level now unless you apply for a NOTAM

@rcaddiction7071 9 месяцев назад

Is it even possible to get a NOTAM and a clearance to do this kind of thing? I like to do long range FPV and drive many hours to the coast. I fly over the ocean to stay out of US airspace as much as I can but it would be awesome i come request a clearance for the 12 NM I would be in US airspace. I don’t think the FAA has made this possible so I will do my thing without talking to traffic until they find a way to get my 6LB plane legally operating in the NAS.

@stratosjoebar 11 лет назад

how do you deal the leaning of the mixture?

@MrMagoo321 3 месяца назад

The best way is to set your transmitter down and hold the plane tight. Slowly add throttle to full then pick the plane up and point it straight up. Then richen the top end screw (the one most people always only mess with using their fingers) until it bogs a little then lean it out until max rpm then richen it back up a little more. That way any position or fuel level your tank or your plane is in will not cause it to lean out to the point of having to do a dead stick landing. Some guys do this while the plane is flat on the ground but I find with the aerobatics I do the plane pointing up and down you need to pick it up and do it this way. Hope that helps.

@robbiem8247 7 лет назад

look good till the end, looks like you're missing some screws in the motor mount.

@glassdogangle 7 лет назад

Absolutely not. No screws missing. I use a rubber grommet mounting system that was engineered in the late 80's for nitro engines to prevent the airframe from being shaken to death by the vibrations of an otherwise hard-mounted engine. The engine mount on this aircraft is connected to the firewall with 3 rubber dampeners, so the engine shakes a bit when idling. Just like how a car has rubberized engine mounts, so does this aircraft.

You should watch my FPV video on my channel of the "Albany Paper Mill Demolition FPV..." so you can see it being exploded.

I want to do something simular. I wanna build a big rc bomber and then flying miles away from me with it per VR watch and Navigation System. I dont know this Video is 10 years old, maybe technology has changed so much that i could be able to do that. Not long ago i have read an articel about a 17 year old boy, i believe, who broke a world record by flying his rc plane over the atlantic.

There was a Lotta vibration on that engine, looked like front right mounting hole didn't have a bolt , feel sorry for these Ukranians , having their runway, next to a nuclear plant ,and landing airplanes on radioactive grounds. 😢 reminds me so much of Chernobyl .

@dmbadcat 4 года назад

Cool video, nice setup, but I have to downvote for how high you were flying... Just introducing more opportunities to FOD out someone's engine or kill a real pilot. Fat birds have killed pilots before, this plane could do worse...

@dmbadcat 4 года назад

Not to mention, once it does happen, even more laws will be put in place, not just limiting drones, but limiting the rest of us real hobbyists who actually play by the rules.
