More mayhem with RC planes from the Tokoroa Airfield (NZTO) here in New Zealand. A beautiful autumn day, an RC plane and the usual offenders -- what could possibly go wrong?
that has got to be the oddest feeling Ive have ever experienced ... watching Ron's tri motor yellow plane flying and hearing it change gears like a motorbike on a racetrack.... 😀
If Bill brings that wreck back he should get some kind of trophy. Also loved the way the Yak looked, and agree with the commenter about the sound track to that trimotor - I thought you were having a laugh with the sound. Excellent video work, though, just great.
Nice video I'm not into RC planes but love all RC stuff. flew RC helicopters years ago got pretty good at it too but lost the flying field.the banter between friends was exactly the same as you guys that's half the fun cheers from the UK.
Amazing quad video near the end! Such beautiful trees and manicured grass! I could watch hours of this type video! Phoenix Arizona doesn't have big trees! Keep the speed slow and make more videos!
great video, my Corsair was like the viper, put it in the bin then 2 days later I decided to put it back together...flys better than ever now and into its fourth year af flight !...... wow the colours in the park unreal so lovely!
yes the viper is all in one piece again and will fly again as soon as i have time to finish it .All my favorite models are rebuilds that I bought for next to nothing as wrecks and rebuilt😀
Great day flying and fun, even some drone footage. Shame about the jet crash, but I guess it happens. Could really do with some of that blue sky for sure. 👍🏻
Hello Bruce, late to the game on watching this one too,. But ""In My Opinion"" the soundtrack used at 18;10 til the end was perfectly toe tapping relaxing,. wish I could Loop it. Beautiful Autumn Tour too. Great job to you and the guys.
Bill, stop being so camera shy, you and Ron are the stars of the show.... Enjoy all you guys and truly miss the companionship of flying with folks that love the hobby as much as I do. Cheers
Bloody oath, if you had as many aircraft as I’ve got in the hanger and a mrs who dont understand, you would keep flying with RSSI LOW too 😂😂 it’s all good it’s the only time I’ve ever had a plane go down due to lost signal in the seven years I’ve been flying Frsky since BRUCE got me using it lol…. I won’t be updating again from 2.3.14 as I am going to Ethos now after this for good i think (i’ve had my X20S for a couple of months and i have an X18 coming too so might be bye bye OTX for good i think!
I envy you guys I would love to cut up and jab at friends at a little air field. You have so much fun I smile as I listen to the banter. Thank you for sharing and enjoy these fun times!
Ahh Bill.. Some might say that his claim of being excited after his jet crashed into pieces would be a cope, I can attest to the enjoyment of gluing together a wrecked foam mess like that. Wonderful fpv footage Bruce!!
It wasn't my jet and I was not flying it but i was given it because John who owes it knows that I love to repair them ,and now its mostly repaired and will be seen on the next Xjet vid
Don't worry, a frontal system just went through us here in Port Lincoln South Oz and we are looking to enjoy 15C days windy and rain for the next five days... That'll get to you soon enough I expect. Been great weather up until now, but got to start raining and blowing sooner or later... Gee the Ranger just floats in with the flaps down!
I really enjoyed this video. Your flying session videos are the best. You could fly gasoline powered giant scale planes during go-kart sessions and blend right it. After seeing Ron rebuild that plane that was shredded through a fence, thie comparative flesh wound should fixed in no time.
Don't you just hate that when you have no control and it goes in the Ground then you start asking questions of why , Love you Guys Take care , from the UK
Ya hate to see it. I crashed my Simitar last time I flew. Might have been a bad ground though. The wing is mostly okay but I think the fuse is just beyond repair this time…
Aat about 11:33, something departs the from the hatch area .. it is very hard to see at normal speed .. but some piece of gear departs just before the RSSI drops off
Bill no worries that will T CUT Out.... Tad of hot glue bamboo skewers and she's good to go... Well done that man with the tri motor set up glad your back on your feet and the ol magic is working again👍👍👍👍 Brian 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I’m still flying FRSKY, and even at short range I have noticed on rare occasions total a radio drop out resulting in a fast vertical landings..🙀😳🔥🔥 Even with a good well charged transmitter batteries, and different quads and receivers. I’m using RXSR receivers, what’s going on FRSKY??
What version OTX you running cause i have an X20S with Ethos on and its fine, and I flew the same aircraft with the same radio a number of times at the airfield with no issues no warnings no nothing until I went to the new otx firmware last week-i’ve gone back to 2.3.14 which I had been using for months with no issues.
I had these kinds of dropouts, sometimes at distances of 20m with my old XJT module and R-XSR and some other receivers. Then I recently got a TX16S with internal multiprotocol, planning to switch to ELRS, but since then I haven't had a single dropout and much better RSSI values. The XJT might have been damaged or worn out over time, but the difference was pretty big from dropouts every few flights to none after many months. The receivers all run accst v2.
What are you filming this with, if you don't mind my asking? Oh, and what was the drone you were using to film the bike clip? Looks similar to the dji fpv from the shadow. Im debating getting that one.
@@lasersbee What!Does that include turbine and methanol carts as well.P.S. On a serious note. It is not only a rc flying field.Also Moto X,MTB,Road M/c and of course real aircraft use this community area.(edit)Forgot Drag racing.
For the record……the problem was open TX 2.3.15 after multiple range tests at home with 2.3.15 and 2.3.14 and ETHOS. I have told Frsky and they are talking to the Devs about it……so Radiomaster wont save you lol
Trust me there was zero signal between the plane and the radio by the time it was falling out of the sky!! I’ve had P 51 mustangs do high speed stalls in the past and I’ve had power on every time, This was definitely a Firmware related range issue-I have flown that aircraft and many others for months with the previous version of software on the radio with no incident and it was about this time last week I updated the radio to 2.3.15 and that was the first time flying with that version and you saw for yourself even as I was coming back towards us I was getting “RSSI LOW” hi spent quite a bit of time over the weekend doing range testing at home because I have a large property and my ethos powered X20S was perfectly fine, and the Horus was on 2.3.14 but on 2.3.15 The RSSI was significantly weaker (as low as 75 stood next to a plane on 2.3.15 as a opposed to 100 on 2.3.14 and ethos). Won’t be updating the radio any further and will probably start using my X20S now too🙂
