FPV Chase - How to Stay Behind a Much Slower Plane?
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 07. 2024
- Immersive RC plane chase using head-tracking FPV from the cockpit of iconic Flightline Spitfire MK IX 1.6m warbird (6s) vs E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.2m (4s), a much slower plane. Due to notable speed differences between the two, Spitfire has to use some basic fighter maneuvers to stay behind the T-28. Head tracking FPV camera enables each pilot to intuitively look at wingman through aerobatic maneuvers simply by moving his head without losing sight. It's the most immersive, realistic flying experience possible flying a RC plane.

Please more uploads! This Chanel got me into this hobby and I can’t wait to be able to get this stuff
Never get tired of your videos, the more realistic models the better.. the fact you have the same issues as in a real Spitfire is just fantastic
Thank you for the feedback! That’s why I love flying scale models, too. To relive full scale pilots experience as they see it in the cockpit. Their stories make more sense that way🙂
I bought a Destek VR headset about a year ago or two ago. My 6 inch phone fits lovely. In additional can loop the you tube video and watch in VR very realistic. Thank You.
Really cool flying.
Thanks, cheers!
Nice set up, Robert.
Love It! So immersive!
great flight and landing.
Love it. !. Looks like a lot of fun.
It is a lot of fun!
Nice video. I love your fpv video's.
Glad you enjoyed it. It was fun!
I think this channel will get really big if you keep it up ! so cool
I think in real life the frame around the cockpit windows aren't as much as a problem as it is for an FPV camera. The reason is that we have two eyes, so as long as the frame isn't too thick, one eye can always see past it. Try holding up a thumb at arm's length. Of you close one eye, you can completely cover an object from your view, but with two eyes open you can't.
Very cool video btw.
Good explanation, I agree! Also eyes on pilot are not fixed, pilots torso can lean forward/ back and side to side to look around the frame.
This would be AMAZING if recorded in 3D so we could view it in 3D VR too! A friend of mine @OpenPCReviews does that type of thing.
Most his stuff is VR filmed, but he ALSO does real life camera filming too.
Here's one that at the VERY START explains how to view in 3D czcams.com/video/yeAWauR7SX4/video.html
It would be cool, if one could stream to the goggles in that quality
@@daszieherdo you mean in addition to recording VR in 3D for playback in VR, literally live streaming in real-time directly?
These videos are absolutely inspirational. Would love to see you do a large scale F-14 Tomcat with real jet engines!
EDF Tomcat I can do. I might need to win the lotto to afford a twin turbine Tomcat😉
Nice flight
Man this is soooo cool
Thanks, I agree😁
Great flying! I must say that formation/chasing is an engaging challenge and you are really good at it!
Thank you! It takes a long time to develop an intuitive sense to fly formation well. Harder to do in model scale vs full scale, I dare say. It’s very rewarding when one finally gets it🙂
This is awesome! ❤
Thanks, cheers!
This long nose hiding mighty Merlin always fascinate me!
A lot of curves hiding that beauty, Flightline Spitfire faithfully models it in detail👍
Sweet videos my new hobby starting today 👍😂
Nice
i love this camera xD nice and funy video thx for you'r videos and sorry my english xD
Thank you! Your English is very good, I understand just fine🙂
I’m so trying to get into this! How do you power your vistas, do you use flight controllers? And how do you keep them from overheating in the closed canopies?
I don’t use flight controller. I use the original DJI air unit, exposed to open air, not vista. See picture of camera/gimbal/air unit setup in community.
Right rudder needed on takeoff because it’s a prop plane - torque, p-factor and slipstream effect.
You are right!
My long ranged/crossfire head tracking through spekturm ix20/ix12 now operational.
Great! Have fun!
Would love to see a shot of the camera set up and mounting in the cockpit.
See pictures in Community.
the flight of the corujito
I have been drooling over your setups. Could you have detailed directions on your website that would teach a total electronic novice how to set up a plane right from unboxing to finished fpv plane
This page covers most of it: fpvdogfight.com/blogs/news/head-tracking-fpv-setup-on-rc-plane-or-car
Wonder if there is a help file somwhere to connect the DJI03 air unit to the marek 405 wing ?? Thank you
Love this stuff man, a Mosquito or a P38 Lightning would be awesome, looking at the props and having a clear field of view not affected by a prop. That said, from a viewers perspective, the only thing making it standout immediately as RC is the speed at which the plane rolls and banks. If you play the video at .75%. or even .5%, it looks super realistic. I wonder: would there be a way to slow limit controls so the movement becomes more proportional to the real thing?
Keen observations. An easy fix to get rid off the annoying rolling shutter effect from props
It would be nice if you had a crossfire long range system going and tell me what your setup is for head trackers on it.
I don’t do long range personally since I fly within the confines of our RC field. You can find answers to such questions at FPV Air Combat Group at FaceBook.
Is the video quality this good on your vr headset as well? I would love to dive on this hobby one day but I saw other vr cam videos on YT and they were very low quality&glitchy looking (video turning black&white time to time)
Btw this channel is GOLD 👍
Yes, the video quality in my FPV goggles is as good as shown. 1080P 100FPS real time (30ms latency) high definition video without noise. Can even record in 4K. The poor quality FPV videos are analog systems. Good ones are digital FPV systems. Main components to pull this off are:

@motionsic that is impressive. Thanks for the info
진짜 멋지네 ㅎㅎ . 비올때도 비행 가능한가요?
Yes, if it’s only light rain.
Wow, what kind of battery are you running to get a 9 minute flight time?
As usual amazingly awesome
Thanks! No special packs, just 6S 6000 HRB, all the way forward to balance.
would it be possible to put head tracking fpv on e flite habu ss 70mm jet that has wing span 40.5 inches? what would you say is miniumum size for this to work
Typically. 80mm EDF jets and above fit the gimbal better. Some exceptions in 70mm EDF jets fit also, like Viper 70 or Freewing BAe Hawk 70 with tandem seat canopy.
feels like i'm the pilot
That’s the idea😁
what source should I use on my frsky x20 (ethos) for the pan and tilt channels? (trainer1 ??) I've got the bluetooth trainer enabled and I can see the inputs from the HT in the radio but they aren't moving the pan tilt servos.
Which channel signals are moving on the trainer screen? They should be the ones you specified in the HT app on PC. Our head-tracker default channels are 7 & 8. On the mixer page, you need to assign the correct source TrainerX and active condition to a switch, so you can activate and deactivate the gimbal servos. Once activated, you can see the signal on output.
@@motionsic I have the right channels setup and I can see the HT moving the slider bars. I used "trainer 1" for the input in the mix I made.
@@motionsic I got it wrkn now, had to use trainer 7 and trainer 8 and also asign a destination in the trainer section.
Van you do more wideo of this plane please?
Sure! More to come…
Do have flight data as OSD on your goggles? How you managed that? I am not to get them from my DJI Air Unit O3 to my DJI Goggles V2.
No OSD on my goggles. Flying old school. What you see on the video is what I see when flying.
Have you done this on the new O3 Air units?
Not yet.
Does your headtrackers ever malfunction like get stuck/hung up or drift? Is there a resetting ability?
On unusually cold/damp days, it does drift a bit on start up. Drift diminishes once it warmed up. There’s a center button that can be pressed to center the gimbal servos.
Is it possible to adjust the sensitivity or throws on the fatshark fsv1610 head tracker? It seems it is on the slowest by default?
Look up the instructions for FatShark head-tracker. It’s on there.
It looked like the setting that it's on by default is quite fast. Which setting do you usually prefer?@@motionsic
@@larsulrich3356 your second comment contradicts with the first; it was slowest and it was pretty fast?! I have not used Fatshark Headtracker for a couple of years, I despise that it centers the signal when pan limit is reached, which forces people not to use the full range of pan feature. Really not a good design.
What head tracker do you recommend?@@motionsic
May I ask you what your method is to prevent your gimbal system from disconnecting at the gear system?(If you have one?)
Not making sense, gimbal does not connect to gear?
No the throw sensitivity is too high at the lowest fatshark fsv1610 setting(default) and it will run off the gear if moved too much @@motionsic
@@larsulrich3356 limit the servo throw on the transmitter by setting travel limits and/or rates. It’s 100% required for tilt since native servo travel is 280°
Keep in mind I am using crossfire now instead of spektrum so I'll have to see how this works.@@motionsic
What radio transmitter do you use?
FrSky X20S
Is it possible to make that into a long range plane ?
Sure. Swap out 2.4Ghz RC for 900Mhz long range RC and get better antenna for FPV system and effective range can be up to 13Km.
Maybe you can develop some 03 air unit parts that allow for just as much or more degree of movement?
O3 camera has much more movement with the gimbal in tilt downward, just see more of the gimbal🤣. With original air unit, movement already cover 360° views and tilt up to 90°, already matching natural head movement.
So the 03 has more pitch down range? Isn't the total range of the 03 only around 170 degrees for yaw motion range?@@motionsic
@@larsulrich3356 why? The gimbal turns as far for O3 as it turns for original air unit camera - 280°. With camera FOV, covers much more than 360°
The reason why I ask is because in this video I interpreted that the 03 air unit has a range of motion limitation compared or in contrast to the old discontinued DJI air units. czcams.com/video/HrbGPZNaalk/video.html@@motionsic
how do you make these planes?!
I buy plug and play from MotionRC.com and just add our own head-tracker and gimbal🙂
Are you still using spektrum exclusively or have you used crossfire/ELRS?
I have been using FrSky last couple of years.
Do you have any means of directly connecting a DJI 03 air unit to a battery? Do you use any DJI 03 air units? Can you give me any information on your setups if you use a DJI 03 air unit? I was under the impression you were a spektrum only person based on some of the videos I have seen. @@motionsic
Would you be interested in assisting me with replicating discontinued RC planes with your 3d printing/engineering skills?
Do you use a fight controller?
No I do not. So no OSD telemetry at all, just like a real Spitfire😉. I do use a gyro stabilizer though for this Spitfire.
What type of controller
FrSky X20S for RC control.
Outstanding flight, and equipment too. Thanks for sharing!
Reminds me of my VR flying, here's a video of that for your enjoyment:
czcams.com/video/pft6MDvtU3M/video.html
no videos in over 2 months
Sorry. In Taiwan figuring out production of reflector sight. I miss flying!
You have to put airsoft gun on one of the planes.
Specific long range electronic equipment is now banned from the United States.
Like what so far?
Some long range crossfire stuff is being banned from USA. They are always on "backorder" because they're not being shipped. Joshua Bardwell's youtube channel just talked about it. They're doing it as a means of forcing the new remote ID regulation law.@@tonyyimbo
