Unbelievable that the FAA already gave Trevor Jacob his licence back after crashing a plane and yet you get suspended for following the AIM. Hoping it all gets resolved and looking forward to more great content next year.

Trent consider using a DIN/Hella/Merit (several names) plug and socket instead of a cigarette plug and socket. DIN plugs have a notch in the pin that locates securely in spring-loaded tabs in the socket and holds the plug reasonably secure in place. Used a lot in off-road vehicals here in Australia.

Awesome video Trent! You have now brought in-flight wifi to STOL aircraft. I was excited to be a part on a team that installed them for United 10 years ago on their domestic aircraft. I hope you provide us more details with this project as you go along, possibly doing a live stream, as you mentioned, there appears to be a dropout for these dishes, and or various opportunities that rarely connect LIVE. Hopefully develop crashworthy brackets for it. Hell Yeah! Keep on keeping on!

@gadgetmerc 6 месяцев назад

The satellite internet on aircraft 10 years ago are a bit different than starlink. The older systems were geostationary systems that are very high (22,236 miles up). Since the satellites are in geosync the dish just points up. Nice and Simple. Being so far away really lowered the bandwidth and upped the latency of the system. Starlink operates in LEO around 340 miles altitude so there is more bandwidth and much lower latency. While the lower orbits help with bandwidth and latency, it means the "dish" has to actively track the satellites in the sky. Which can be hard with a flat mount that is moving around in flight. So the new stuff is faster and truly realtime, it might have more problems on a moving airplane though. The special aviation Starlink systems can track satellites faster to handle the bumps and are built very streamline to be mounted on the skin of a plane. Downside to that is the price.... They are quoting 150k install and 25k/m for service.

@FarrellMcGovern 6 месяцев назад

Very cool about mounting Starlink on your plane! I've been interested in 3d printing for a long time now. I have a Flashforge Finder and the first thing that was printed out on it was a pair of cup holder adaptors. For some reason the Subaru Forester SH (09-12) has *square* cupholders in the center console just behind the gear shifter. That would have worked if they had made the square small enough that your can of soda or fountain drink was held securely...but it is just to large, and as you accelerate and break, you have a good chance of spilling said fluids, which gets messy quickly! Print out a pair of the easy to find 3d models, and no more sloshing.

@weston3303 6 месяцев назад

that is an awesome practical print! i think you might find some extra strength printing in the flat orientation for the long section, then creating a bolt-together joint for the tube clamp portion- that way the layer lines work in your favor. I print near 24/7 for personal projects but they happen to need to be strong and withstand "pressures" higher than most parts (wink wink). You've been a huge inspiration to me both as a drone and GA pilot, and I can't wait to get to the point where I can responsibly afford a kitfox. I also have been in the game since about 2013 and my first printer was an Anet A8, and you're so right, they used to be SO janky

@michaeltward2859 6 месяцев назад

This is a really cool idea and if you really wanted to build it in it could easily go down the tail or in the wing because the fabric covering won't interfere with the signal.

@markplain2555 6 месяцев назад

Whoa... for us glider pilots this is AWESOME.... thanks for the discovery!!! . . I believe Starlink is cheaper than ADS-B and even a transponder (we don't normally use transponders). But we fly at about 80mph max hence we can get a good signal. Also we can tune into various websites that will give us live updates of aircraft traffic movement (VERY handy) and wind and weather updates by the minute (VERY handy). . This is such a nice development. I'm going to look into getting a starlink system and installing it now. . Thanks again.

You sure have achieved the ultimate flying set up. Regards, Jim the Brit in NI UK

Sweet mount! I’d keep an eye out for cracks developing over time due to modal frequencies created by the plane’s engine. Failure mode of falling on the pilots head or into his field of view is high consequence.

Try turning off GPS on your Starlink dish. In the Starlink app at the bottom right click on “advanced”, then on “debug-data”, scroll all the way down and the penultimate point. No GPS, no speed :)

No GPS= no reliable in motion use at all. All that needs to happen is mobile priority toggled on, then speed limit is ~250 knts.

Interesting video and good this mod gives you some back country comm capability. Here’s a comment (not a criticism) from a retired Navy pilot. I was the PM for my communities Navy aircraft during the last part of my career. To do any mod to a Navy aircraft and subsequently pass all the safety and flight tests was a very involved process. Even after this there were occasionally negative unintended consequences resulting from a modification. For experimental aircraft such as yours, do any of your mods get looked at or blessed during an annual check or some other inspection? Just curious….

@kjchaifisch 6 месяцев назад

One of the weird issues I had when setting up a friends Starlink in Reno was they still required you to tie an address to the service - I think they removed this requirement but it made it no better than a Femtocell from Verizon or AT&T. Every time they wanted to "go mobile" it'd be an unreliable mess.

@experimental_av 6 месяцев назад

That’s amazing. Was wondering who will be the first to do this. Antenna is still pretty big, obviously will be getting smaller. I have a carbon fibre fuselage so no way to mount this internally. I’m flying outside US/EU so internet onboard would be nice to get weather etc.

@Laminar-Flow 5 месяцев назад

The bands these operate in are way too low energy for this to be a problem… Otherwise, I have a hard time believing it would be a commercial device approved by the FCC.. If you’re sitting on the receiving end of a military-grade radar you can have burns and such but while they are both phased-array radar systems, this one is quite different in its operation The phased array dish isn’t gonna put out a boatload of EM radiation when you’re on the other side of the array and spectral analysis of the satellites indicate they are just as safe www.aanda.org/articles/aa/pdf/2023/08/aa46374-23.pdf

I have also tested this in a 182 and the speed limit is around 85mph. Also, the offline lockouts get progressively longer the more you break that speed limit and we have had to power cycle the unit or land to get network again. Starlink does not want you to do this because they have a product in development for aviation and it's insanely expensive, even though there are only few STC for it.
