Rare Bear FPV, meet and crash, 2 FunjetUltra mishaps

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!

Maidening hard and 5 longrange DIVES at the same time! (FPV Meet)

Met with TJ-FPV again (like in my last video Winghunters). This was when TJ-FPV decided he needs a proper wing - Rene helped him setup the iNav build and now they maidened these planes. Since the weather was great a few other pilots met us there as well - also trying to test their wings ;)
When they saw the tempting mountains on the horizon we also had to drive there as well - so this was basically 2 FPV meetings on one day.
On the 2nd location (3:05) we were 5 DJI FPV pilots and ultimatly flew quite far out to meet at the summit's cross of one of my fav spots. First I was sceptic and only used my goggles for audience mode, but then we flew off into the distance, 5 copters at the same time (all DJI digital, 25mbit mode) and had 0 problems with video! Of course there were some mishaps with tree branches ;) and some close calls... Last week I already posted the short from the insane recovery of Chris' scraggle incident ;) And even when the sun was down, we didn't wanna stop - a tiny wing had to be chased ;) ●▬▬▬LINKS▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬● Chris: IG: https://www.instagram.com/chriskuchner NappyFPV: IG: https://www.instagram.com/nappyfpv Pascal IG: https://www.instagram.com/Pascal_S92
