Really enjoyed, watched it in full screen. Great video Gusty. The soccer ball added a touch of brevity!
Nice. Great build!
Thanks Rahul, work of the Archi-techs
Hello Gusty,
Is this is a readymade Kit or you made it ??? looks like a readymade.
But :hatsoff: if youve made it .....what is the material and plan please share???
Some problem with my browser ( IE and Chrome) i cannot see videos!!!
Saurabh
@ rastsaurabh, it looks like EPP dragonfly, the bigger version.
Please confirm Gusty sir.
Gusty sir, just waiting to see the FPV video. I watched video expecting FPV. ;D turned out to be just flying video :giggle: :giggle:
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I think gusty sir bought this from HK..
I remember once he had posted the buddy code for this... ;D ;D
:headscratch: :headscratch:
it is EPP FPV, buddy code was for the second one (OR was it the third ;) ), where i fly, i cant post aerial video, we are planning a trip to a valley nearby and post onboard vid of that place, till then...
Rest assured, on board vid are awesome, i followed a rivulet to the nearby dam, buzzed there a bit with aeroplane below the tree line and not in sight...awesome rush it was
PS
is the wing design same as the EPP FPV ??? ;D
What is the AP and FPV equipment you are using?
Arkbird, switching to APM 2.5 with 3DR radio, simple OSD 1.5W vid downlink, Dominator Goggle (retransmiting on 5.8 Ghz) i also have a FeiYu Tech FY-31 AP too, might put that in one machine, deciding
Cool
Sir, what is the difference between :
http://www.rctimer.com/index.php?gOo=goods_details.dwt&goodsid=837&productname=
and
http://store.diydrones.com/APM_2_5_Assembled_p/br-apmpwrkt.htm
except that the GPS receivers are different...
Diy Drones ver is apm 2.5+ i guess good build quality and a cosmetic cover
The first is a clone with little or no after sales support, whereas the original APM has a huge community eager to help you. If you want to save in the long run, buy the original APM board and get the telemetry kit from hobbyking. You also get the power module with the 2.5+.
I am planning to have an fpv setup. Could you guide me with it? I have a cctv camera which i plan to use. I am hoping for some help on specs and equipment needed for the whole setup. Please suggest equipment available on HobbyKing.
Thanks.
What FPV equipment(TX/RX) are you using sir? And what is the max range you were able to pull out of it?
it has done over 60 successful flights at the highest reaches of Himalayas, regularly pushing mks boundary :). HK LRS and video eqpt, TGY Radio, 10000 mah 3S bat
Sorry to bother you sir but can you tell which Video equipment are you using? make, wattage and frequency?
1.3 m,1.5w
Hi sir, What's the longest range you have achieved with HK orangerx LRS..? Is it 100mw or 1w version..?
well, Can't call any, the best, RMILEC and Thomas Scherrer V6 gave some really good ranges, without drop in RSSI, Orange 1W really isnt 1W is about 400 mw (after flashing the firmware).
Really speaking it isn't the LRS capability that governs the range, it is the LOS and your aircraft range, if you google you will see people have flown to some crazy ranges without drop in RSSI values really (Provided you were within the LOS)
