In preparation for some FPV fun at spontaneous meetups with my friends I converted my fast reno racer (the F8F Rare Bear from E-flite) to DJI FPV (with a simple backpack which I tested also on my EasyStar). The DJI Backpack is a super easy solution to get almost any plane ready for FPV.
What I learned the hard way: the FRSky 2.4Ghz RX in combination with my new TX16S (and it's internal multi module) is not a trustworthy one...
(there is a small chance that my ESC's bec locked up - but I don't think so)
So from now on I will stick to Crossfire - also for planes and just use a 6ch adapter for the conventional RC stuff (where you don't just connect RX/TX pins to a UART ;)
There's more FPV Plane stuff coming up - been busy with iNav setup on my MiniTalon - will test it more today.
Also upcoming: Lipo, LiIon testing for a 7" setup (tested a lot of packs already).
These longer projects mean that I get to do less videos - but once they are done I hope they are of more value ;)
I stand for HONEST reviews and opinions! If you wanna support this idea please check my PATREON (also if you can fund my hangar in cases like this crash incident here ;)
