Flew fixedwing FPV for 4 month now - this is what I captured!

I fly FPV since 2008 and it started with a plane back then (MPX Twinstar).

Soon I moved to flying quads - because they are easier to fly, less effected by wind, smaller...

But each year I have my "phase" of wanting to fly with PLANEs. Usually this phase don't last long, since I fall back to the convenience of copters :)

Now with really good options (DJI video transmission, Crossfire controll link and INAV flight controller) this was my longest phase of mostly flying planes!

I've learned a lot with the planes, feel really confident with INAV now. Autolaunch installed on all of the planes - super helpfull! Stability (control surface action against gusts?)  could be better - I guess I need to tune the PIDs there better.

But ACRO mode is so nice! The plane automatically flies straight, without the need for trimming the servos ;)

Stats

this video contains 81GB of footage from July 12 till Oct 28

ARWing pro: 13 flights, 4h 18mins

FPV900: 23 flights, 4h 15mins

Mars 1200: 10 flights, 3h 28mins

Each of these planes has some advantages. 

ArWing pro:     review: https://youtu.be/Z4JeN7U_KDw

+ efficient  (kind of), can carry a gopro (needs lot of nose weight, so without a gopro you need DEADWEIGHT)

- it's a bit unstable and wobbly still. 

- Launches are not always easy (but with INAV and autolaunch it's easy!)

FPV900:  easy, small wing now with INAV and GPS!

+ it's cheap so the risk is lower - more confidence!

+ works nice with 3000mah LiIon   - or 1800mah Lipos for stunts!

- a bit unstable in high speeds

- noisy motor / Prop combo

MARS 1200:    

my biggest, most grown up FPV longrange plane!

+ A LOT of space, good speed and efficiency

+ super video range (also thanks to the TrueRC singularity 12cm antennas )

- Stalls are ugly, landings not always easy

GIANT RC Red Bull Cobra is back - and I got to chase it with my drone!

This was our annual "Sturmfliegen" which translates to "stormflying" because we have more wind in autumn and it's the time where they drink Sturm (some sort of early wine). I got to film and chase a lot of cool RC - including: - the ever impressive RedBull Cobra from Sepp Schmirl (check my Cobra playlist - linked below) - Sebart Avanti XS JET (which is soooo stable and smooth in the air https://bit.ly/3CSjGhY - FPV Wing chase fun with the maidener and his Dolphin (RIP) - a yellow copter which I didn't interview (it was just so chaotic there) - Multiplex Rockstar Biplane (where I could get really close) I used my iFlight Chimera 7 with Gopro10 for the big Cobra and Jet chases, where I almost killed my 4000mah 6S pack while trying to keep up with the jet ;) And the iFlight Titan DC5 to "dance" with that biplane. How do you like the video quality showing the biplane in the air? To fly with the Maidener and his Dolphin I used my new INAV controlled FPV900 wing. Video about this and similar will be up next!

What better place than this for a drone?

Had this spot on my list for long now and this day (late July) was perfect for a session with my chimera 7. Since my Gopro10 was quite new I needed some confidence by scouting with 2 smaller packs there. From my current perspective (fixedwing mania) I'd love to go there again with 2 or 3 FPV plane wingmen and do epic FPV chase session there! Greets, Mario

Here I compare the old Thumb vs. new ThumbPro4k vs. Caddx Peanut. 3 Cams - 3 different price segments - which one is the right for you?

About stabilization (Gyroflow vs. Insta Studio) check this video: https://youtu.be/oo0w4HuxJeE?t=92 Gyrodata: - ThumbPro seems better than orig. Thumb (~30ms off) - Thumb(normal) is 230-260ms off and no matter the settings it always looks like it's NOT stabilized - Caddx Peanut (InstaGo2) is a charm to stabilize, more wideangle and it's 9-11ms off - looks very steady and smooth. While the low weight is a selling point (especially for the use on ultralight whoops) there's a general problem with lightweight cams: less (own) mass means the cam can be moved / affected easier by vibrations! It's a good idea to mount the lightweigh cam to a heavy, non vibrating mass (the flight battery for example!)

ARWing Pro (not just another review :-)

Here you find HONEST reviews and opinions! If you wanna support this idea please check my PATREON: https://bit.ly/2ESMtIO or consider an EPIDEMIC account for great music (link below). Superthanks is also an option (just sayin :) but youtube gets a good chunk of it! This is NOT an affiliate link: https://bit.ly/3PHIIEG (I dont care if you purchase this, but I like the wing!) ►Tips for the plane: CG 85mm (Stall test: do it in ALT!!! it spirals and you loose ~30m) easier handlaunches with slightly REAR CG? but better (more stable) flight with slightly FWD CG. Or just stick with the stock 85mm! 3300mah Lipo (346gr): 136gr in nose 7000mah LiIon (409gr) + Gopro7: 25gr in the back set motorbrake to MAX: start ESC with FULL THROTTLE (without prop) wait for music, then first beep (brake) go MIN THR. and MAX THR again here wait for 4 beeps (max brake) and again confirm with min/max thr. PNP Setup is good - 8x5 Prop - dont change it to an folding prop, use motor brake setting for less chance of breaking your prop on landing Elevons: 2-3mm up from the wingroot (reflex) if the CG is at stock 85mm maybe a slight bit more for maiden launch to help you! ►Inav 5 for Matek f411 wse: Target: MATEKF411SE_FD_SFTSRL1 S1: Motor S3: Left Servo S4: Right Servo UART1: GPS UART2: CRSF SoftSerial1: DJI OSD (RX=LED, TX=ST1) ►►iNav CLI important setting: set init_gyro_cal=OFF (There seems to be a bug in iNav 5 where the initial calibration after booting causes sa write operation. if you unplug it too soon, this could reset your FC to defaults?) Motor Beeps but doesnt work? motor beeps slowly: no signal (or motor outputs are disabled in iNav!) if it beeps quickly (if activated), this means throttle is not at 0% - ESC needs calibration (not via remote, but via the Motor slider in iNav config) iNav flightmodes: NAV CRUISE (course hold + alt hold) ACRO (if nothing is selected!) RATE mode - helps against the WIND! MANUAL (Passthru) RTH Settings: nav_rth_climb_first = ON Maximum altitude since launch (NAV_RTH_MAX_ALT) Autotune flight Fly a few rounds with enough ROLL and PITCH movements. DON'T Start with AUTOTUNE mode activated (I nearly crashed because of this!) Important: after landing, DISARM, then move both Sticks BACK and OUT to SAVE! ●▬▬▬LINKS▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●  @b14ckyy's Tech  wing launch tutorial! https://youtu.be/m9AgBgys2PA  @Painless360  Softserial on Matek F411 tutorial: https://youtu.be/7TM9wGU41vo  @Olivier C  great Fixedwing FPV Channel like: https://youtu.be/yMNENYcR2NI

Can you PERCH a Wing? (should you?)

Supposed to be a fun FPV meet at our local flightfield. Turned out to be a lot of fun (but not equally distributed for all pilots ;) Once again I used the TitanDC5 here with the Peanut. Not because it's the best cam I have - but it's good enough for these kinds of videos and it's cheap enough to crash it!

30 sec into the flight something awesome happend!

This is a recent flight (unusual for me to edit my footage so "fresh"). Wanted to test the Caddx Peanut more. Before these flights I had more jello, tried to make a video to show the influence of props - but it was inconsistent. Generally I use 5" copters with new props and ND16 filter on the caddx all the time - that gives the best results. The low weight of the cam is nice, and quality more than sufficient - what do you think? Here I opted NOT to stabilize the peanut footage, because this way I have the full 2880x2880 fisheye raw video - here you can crop and zoom in post and be flexible (to look up or down if neccesary). As I said in the video: this one inconsistency with the power button on the Peanut should be changed: if on it's own battery: power button pressed once means: turn on and rec if on external power: power button once = turn one, another press needed to stat recording
