Head Tracking FPV Made Easy in Xfly Sirius EDf Jet 

Mine, too! It’s a dream shared by many to shrink down and pilot one’s model planes. Now it can be a reality, visually!

Wow, what an endorsement! So glad to hear you are loving the flight experience Bob! That’s the best reward for our development efforts!

Haha, you caught me!

Thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks! Not sure I deserve the praise😅, lots to learn still. Cheers!

Haha, thanks mate!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks! Please notice on your next flight of the Xfly Sirius, if you see the quirkiness pulling out of a dive/loop as seen @ 3:02, it was not smooth...

Glad you like it!

If you can make clear canopy, please make one for me. I would love to buy clear canopy so I can use it on my jets. The stock canopy from factory have too much distortion so can’t be used!

Thanks!

It’s a blast in a RC car: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t8V2hdBtPlg.html

Thanks Daniel!

Thanks Ken!

Thanks Harold for choosing my gimbal. Much appreciated! The FW F-5 cockpit is quite small and overall airframe is on the small side, too. I do wonder if there would be enough room to fit everything in and keep CG in acceptable range. Do you also have the DJI FPV camera/air unit setup? I am very interested to see your F-5 setup once you have it in place. It would be a true testament of my gimbals compactness and flexibility of install if you pull it off! Do share your pics and videos, please! -Robert

Yes, I'm using DJI Air Units. I'll let you know how it works out on this one.

😁謝謝您捧場, 過獎了😅

Thank you. Consider joining a local RC flying club. They can show you how to get started properly flying line of sight (conventionally). A flight simulator like Realflight really helps, too!

@@motionsic I do have some simulators. I really want to get more and more into it. Thanks!

Thanks! I hear you…

Thanks Skybug! Narrating in post. I can’t really talk and fly at the same time, haha. Even recording in post took several tries.

1. Model airfoils are usually quite different from full scale airfoils and often already quite a bit thicker and already adapted for high angle of attack attitudes. So not sure how the automatic /Krueger flaps would help besides just aesthetics. I don't know enough to answer properly. 2. I don't know enough about KLIMOV VT nozzles to answer. Often I favor simple builds over complicated ones. So I am not the right person to ask. 3. The batteries (2x 6S 6000) for my Mig-29 is one for each ESC/EDF. Only one of them has BEC to supply power for all the electronics, and that's sufficient.

Sure!

Having the instrument panel top in view against the horizon gives great attitude reference. Would not work if camera is out front, obstruction free.

I am about to setup my FMS winter camo BF-109F up for FPV. You are right about the coupling during knife edge. I try to mix the coupling out both in aileron and elevator so that rudder input only affects yaw in knife edge. It’s part of my initial LOS trimming steps before setting up FPV. Probably have to re-trim after adding FPV equipment (more weight). Will show you how it goes soon!

@@motionsic I look forward to it - I hope you can get someone else on the Spitfire for a bit of a chase :) I have no mixing on my models as I like to add rudder in turns myself to make them look nice (at least from the ground) But doing slow and 4 point rolls is must more of a challenge with the plane wanting to self-level. I looks like it should be much simpler with the jets or aerobatic models.

@@avipatable You’re right about jets being much easier to fly. The takeoffs and landings in both Spitfire & BF -109 can easily go pear shape if not careful, hesitation rolls, too😉

@@motionsic Ah yes but pulling of a greaser is so satisfying! Perhaps I will look at a jet one day...

Thanks Karel, good to hear from you! No canopy over camera, too much distortion. How are you liking the BAG in the FW-190? I am waiting to see the video😁

Working on it…

@@motionsic that would be great.

Yes. The newer models all come with magnets for ease of removal. I even do them for the cannons on my Spitfire.

@@motionsic My freewing su-35 didn't come with magnets. It instructed to have the cones glued on.

Of course, the plane needs to be well trimmed without the TV operating. Than add TV to augment maneuverability. But I am not an expert on the Su-35. The person to ask is @Airguardian.

@@motionsic I have been speaking to him often.
