ATOMRC Dolphin - not just another review :)

See why everyone is crazy about this now RTF plane, the revised Dolphin from AtomRC, with INAV6 and DJI o3 on it.

Thanks AtomRC for supplying this unit here for the review!

Massive thanks to TJ for helping me with the external shots (don't miss that part starting at 10:22!!!!) check out his channel:  @dynashot1  I create HONEST reviews! If you can support this please check my PATREON Build was quick and easy! - servos, linkages, motor, ESC, FC and GPS were already installed - Wings and vtail needed to be glued on - prepared DJI O3 cable (long with plug for FC was supplied, other end open cables) - connect CRSF RX (on UART 2!) - printed a custom O3 lensmount for the little cutout just behind the nose - make sure o3 has enough cooling! Don't use rocksteady as this makes o3 hotter? - created a little air scoop to help the airflow - installed a heatsink on the O3 (25x25mm) - Tip/correction: bending the cable like I did with the CRSF antenna is not recommended! TECH SPECS: Wingspan:    845mm(33.2") Length:         710mm(28") Weight:         520gr with dji o3 Motor:          2306 1700kv ESC:          30A with 5V/3A BEC seems to be strong enough to supply DJI O3 Servo: 2pcs 9g servo Props:         6~7 inch, incl. 70x40 (cw and ccw) Batteries: 4s 1500-2200mah LIPO or 4sLiIon 3000 or 4000mah good cells (30-40amps) CG on the "nobs" works fine, maybe use a slight bit forward FC has barometer!

F405 Flightcontrol

SOFTWARE - INAV 6: "horizon hawk" it had INAV 5.1 preinstalled, with basic settings if INAV configurator (use the correct version!) doesn't connect, use the ImpulseRC Driver fixer. It's still a valid tool - and GOLDEN! INAV 6.RC3 (as of 11.3.2023) firmware target: ATOMRCF405NAVI CRSF: UART2 GPS: UART4 DJI: UART5 all SETTINGS are here: http://bit.ly/3Fpu8zu ______________________________________________________ ESC: ATOMRC BLS 30A (input: 2~4S Lipo) Continuous current: 30A / Max Current: 35A Output: Built in 5V 3A BEC ESC doesnt need calibration if you use DSHot 600 Set motor brake with BLHeliS config! (or reverse motor direction if you want to use other prop) ●▬▬▬LINKS▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬● F405 Flightcontrol

FPV Meet 2/23: more Fixedwing fun on the field!

This was a quite spontaneous meeting but a lot of fun was head (as you see and hear).

Sorry that the audio commentary I now capture as a default with my Zoom H2n mic (awesome device). But as native german speakers we cannot just pretend to speak english all the time.

Hope some of the atmosphere even translates without speaking any german ;)

FPV Meet 1/23 - Close Combat with Dolphins, TalonGT, Funjet and FPV900 (r.i.p)

Met 3 FPV buddies on my home-field to fly fixedwing and have some fun. Was a lot of formation flying practise as well and a reminder on why you should always "check your six" :)

Definitly wanna make this a continuing series with hopefully many iterations this year. 

Shout outs to Rene, Pascal and even to Thorsten ;)

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!
