Even though this episode was kind of "sponsored", readymaderc products are so good and reliable, they are my first place to look for anything fpv related.
You guys haven't made one video this whole year ... :[
Have a safe, healthy, and Happy New Year. Thanks for the past year's videos.
Cheers mates,
John
I like it. I got a bixler 1.1 for xmas, flew sim for hours and the first time i took it up, i was already cruising like j scott! Wothout your beginner series and all of your videos i wouldnt have made it! Thanks Flite Test crew.
I just got my first rc plane the hawk sky for Christmas from watching your videos! I have been looking into fpv for the hawk sky. Thanks guys and keep posting!
That was a classic episode. Great flying Josh.
I was looking at almost that exact same system from them! Thanks for the great review guys.
Thanks, Guys!! You JUST inspired me to go from what i designed... to your FT Elements Simple Firewall FPV pod! Great videos!!
Hope you'll rescue the mobius! Happy New year FT!!!! And thanx for your efforts!
Josh & David ; Nice Video & Flying & Thanks for the Video !
Hahahahaha, i couldn't stop lauching for 2 minutes or so the fitst time i wached it. Even the 3th time i had to lauch again.
You'r so funny please never stop making video's. And happy new year of cource
It would be cool to see the small FPV pod in more detail.
It's just a fire wall with the camera and video transmitter connected together and a power lead
Happy to see a revival of fpv r/c flying . Dave Upton was doing this in 1995. He made the video's LOL VHS tapes for circuit city.
Great job guys!
Great Video! Keep up the good work guys!!!!
That looks pretty good!
Love U Guys. Happy new Year from Spain.
Hey David, keep the whiskers. They look good. You are in good company. Read the background on why Abraham Lincoln grew a beard. BTW, my RCExplorer tricopter flies like a dream.
Once again, good episode. Could you please review Mobius as an FPV camera.
Great video guys,
I have that little cam from my broken inductrix is this working to?
Or do i have to get a new one
I have been over 4kms with the 600mw immersion rc and a 5 turn home made helicoil. Still had a perfect signal... Rc Tx was stock frysky 2.4.
You guys make Awesome videos! I've crashed my flying wing like 20 times and its still going strong. Did you ever find your Mobius? If not then I'm gonna look for it and finders keepers! I lost my Mobius too in a crash yesterday but I found it 15 feet away and it was still recording, yay!
Great video.
Very informative. Very clear.
I thought that house fly-by was FOR SURE a crash at 07:40
Those Ready Made lens caps need a strip or two of electrical tape on the inside edge. :0
After being a customer of Tim`s or a while its good to put a face to the name. Tower surf was funny :)
You guys are the best.
Nice as always :)
An old RC hobbyist just taught me to put a streamer ribbon on the key cams I attach to flying stuff,. Makes them easy to find ;) They're usually somewhere around the "landing" spot :)
Happy New Year

Question. I need to control multiple RC cars using one radio. How can I achieve this?
Ex: I need to drive one car to a location, park it. Then using that same radio, take control of a different car, while the first one remains parked, and drive that one somewhere. Then be able to switch back and forth, between the cars
@@magicmike1122 ? I have to say I'm quite confused.... 9yo post and you have experience with multichannel radios.... I must be missing something....
@@kennethhicks2113 lol I’m just trying to get help from anyone and everyone.
What I’m asking is not model memory. To clarify, I need to control 2 rc cars, at the same time, using one radio. But have a way so that only 1 drives at a time. Then without turning the car off, I can flip a switch or something, and start driving car 2. And then switch back and drive car 1, even if car 1 happens to be 200 feet away from me.
@@magicmike1122 Well there are many ways to do it, how much analog experience do you have and what is/are your current xtransmitters? could switch LC circuit (freq) in one car rcv and put a switch on xmitter to do same at control end. This is much the way pre-digital xmtrs worked.
Or you could remap some channels on a many channel radio you may have.
keep up the great work guys :)
You guys really put together some outstanding videos. Keep up the great work!
Question. If I want to mount the 8" LCD from the back rather than the tripod hole, what do slider in mount goes in so I can screw mount it on my transmitter screen tray?
I was wondering if you guys could do a review on the Park zone BNF micro war bird spitfire?
What do they use to record from the FPV-camera?
OpenLRS all the way (EZUHF tempted me) Damn nice inverted flying confidence!
I have a 3s tatrot robocat 250 what camera should u run. I have an each in dvr goggles
LOL ReadyMade RC is offline. Flite Test is more efficient than Annonymous for shutting down a website. Just put a discount code and BAM! kkkk. Great video guys!
I just got the blade 350qx and do not know how to bind and set it up. Do you think you can help me?
Does anybody know if it's possible to take out the camera that this kit comes with and replace it with a gopro? I got a Gopro Hero 3+ Recently and I really want to do some FPV with it, and this kit look awesome, I want to combine the two. If anybody has any input on this I would love to hear it! Thanks!
Hey guys, I love what you do, I watch all your vids and find your enthusiasm contagious but, seriously
1. On monitors "If they weren't custom built for FPV...blah blah" absolute rubbish, NONE of those are custom built/designed for FPv they are ALL adapted security and headrest monitors
2. 420tvl ? seriously, it's hard to find anyone selling stuff that out of date, Hell even the micro 3g cams now are 520tvl
3. 1 mile on a 600mw ?, either the tx is pants or the antenna need sorting out, my 200mw gets me at least 2 km with absolute zero video degradation
Hats off to all you guys at Flite test I really do love what you do but some of the statements in this video leave me cold
Really good ! As usual = ]
Cheers from Rio de Janeiro Brazil
David find that camera! I bet it came off on initial impact, looks like glue holding the camera to hook and loop material gave way. You'll find it near the tower, probably within 25meters. Cheers!
did you guys find the hd camera?
How is the fatshark vs this 1 ?
What is your DVR which makes delays and some other bad things to the video?
Could you guys do video about how i should choose my first radio? i have only these plastic radios that come with the plane but i think i could move on :>
sir can we install GPS on this versa wing?
I always buy my FPV gear from RMRC shop. :) Its great!
Hey, have u done more with my glider?
Question. I need to control multiple RC cars using one radio. How can I achieve this?
Ex: I need to drive one car to a location, park it. Then using that same radio, take control of a different car, while the first one remains parked, and drive that one somewhere. Then be able to switch back and forth, between the cars
what do i do with tail heavy plane its delta wing home build should i stick some waits at front
reduce the weight at the back first ( could try moving the battery and all forward or angling the motor a little)
do a multirotor beginner series!!!! (please)
They've done loads already, they have builds on H-quad that will cover electronics. Loads of other videos, people need to put their own work in or they will never fly. The people who cant be bothered should just buy a ready made toy one
Garmin should replace their flight monitoring automated voice with David's. "PUEL UP PUEL UP"
How can I get an FPV system that can go up to 2 miles?
You guys crack me up!
You have to sand the rubbery finish on the mobius for anything to stick
What's the total cost for the setup minis tripod
blue = green..love it
I hope you went back to the crash site to retrieve the Mobius. ;)
They look like pretty good little cameras
what's the range without with obstacles (metal fences/houses) ?
never mind I saw it in the video ^^
Oh I just got my part I ordered from laser bgc 4 days ago! Lol!
Hook & loop tape doesn't stick well to the Mobius camera because it's plastic feels a bit oily. Perhaps sanding the bottom of it and using CA glue to attach a strip of hook & loop tape would be better.
Yep, it's the matte coating on the plastic. Scrape it off and velcro sticks to the shiny plastic that's left quite well!
Nice stagename!
How do I get a ham license to fly fpv I am just getting in to fpv
do a overview on the Tech One POP WING
That boom mic at 4:03 lol
where do I get a flite test sweatshirt
its working in the forum though????
What does it mean to 'trim' ? I've seen this mentioned many times in your videos and on quad controllers, thanks.
trim is adjustments made with small switches on the transmitter that adjust the center position of the servos on the plane.
Thanks!
You guys are very lucky! In France the weather is awful !!! Rain and rain and rain! -_-'
Where do I get this kit?
Ok look,, I need help, i just got a 5.8 ghz fpv system but when i go near trees a little bit but still in the open space it keeps giving me static every like 5 seconds, how do i fix this do i need a better antenna or do i need more power to my fpv transmitter or what pls help!!! p.s. i am not using the stock antennas i am using clover leaf antennas and i am using a 1000 mah 3s lipo to power my fpv receiver and a 900 mah 3s to power my fpv receiver, thanks!
+Inteous i talked to you a while back. lol
+Inteous FPV
I will start off by saying that no matter what band your flying on (5.8GHz, 3.3GHz, 2.4GHz, 1.3GHz, 900 MHz, ect) your going to have interferences.It's just a part of doing anything with RF. As a HAM, it's a daily part of every contact I make even in ideal conditions.
That being said, it could be the range your flying at. The 5.8 GHz band is not know for it's range but rather small and practical antennas and transmitters/ receivers. In addition, 5.8 GHz doesn't have great penetration. Think about your Internet router which is typically 2.4 GHz (and some are now 5.8 GHz). As soon as you step outside or go further away from the router in your house, you have some signal loss. FPV gear works the same.
You did say your using clover leaf antennas which are great for short range and flying around yourself. If you think it's a range issue, then switching to a directional antenna is an option but I would only advise that if you have some experience under your belt. IBCrazy has a few videos on his CZcams page that really gets into detail about the concepts that should help you out a lot.
More versa wing stunts!
Pleas guys...can you tell David to please explain his YOU TUBE video where he use a foam cutter table done by himself to cut wing cores to build delta wings...I think it is a brilliant way to cut wings and DIY...but how he made the mold to follow the contour and how he calculate the wing cut size on both size and what kind of foam he used...please shoot a filler and let me know....i love your kits by the way!...great job!
i have gotten 2.5km (1.5mile) out of my 250mw transmitter and attitudeSD only with a set of omni spironet anntenas so i would say about 4km (2.4 miles) on the 600mW transmitter in the same condition
Did you even find the camera?
The link in the description is broken!
7:48 "i peed a little". Hahaha
Hey FliteTest! I just got a GoPro Hero 3 black and have wanted to get into FPV for a while now. Is there a way to get live output feed from a hero 3? If so, is it possible to hook that up to the same transmitter that you have there or others like it. Thanks
Oops! I found a video by you guys about it. Never mind. Thanks.
yes i believe RCReadyMade sells cable that goes into GoPro then to the videotx
Thanks

Great
Hey guys just asking do you use a specific type of foam board
They use Adams foam board. You can get it from dollar tree.
It's like by the school supply it's usually used for presentations. Btw dollar tree usually carries way more
Review the proto x quad
Why don't you guys sell those FliteTest coat that Josh Bixler was wearing when they were flying? I want one really bad! Please sell them, I would buy one!
i agree
Why y'all not usin spectrum
Fpv Not available in store
the camera is still there at @7:37
willing to bet the camera is less than 100ft from the base of the tower... just guessing..
BRAIN Test!
could this setup be run as dual? or two complete systems and have two displays? ex. one cam pointing forward and one cam pointing rear view
That's why i have red reflector tape on anything on my gear that can fall off. My camera is covered in it.
Ibushi Good idea! A flashlight is all that's needed!
fetymann Just the sun will do. I only needed a way to make it stand out against the green grass. Then saw a roll of sparkly red tape as I passed by a motorcycle store and bought a meter of it :)
why does that prop sound sooo loud?
Don't get the 250mw transmitter. I am new to FPV, and started with the 250 and what happened was my quad could out fly the video transmitter. So I lost picture for a second and needed to rotate my quad to get the picture back and then I was totally disoriented. Very nerve racking when you lose picture and you can't see your aircraft. My quad flew out of range but luckily the return home feature worked. Next I bought the spiral antennas but they don't really help with a quad. Quads always fly pretty much flat. So next I ordered the 600ghz transmitter. Now I can't out fly the video so I don't get disoriented. I use the stock antenna on the quad and the spiral antenna on the goggles. This starter kit they offer is a great deal, I would have gotten it if I didn't already buy all this other stuff. I wouldn't call their kit beginner, it will be your final set up. Only thing missing are goggles.
can i hook up fpv to my google glass
Rule number one make sure you tie your mobius on the plane
and all this has to do with bernoulli?
Can you guys do a santa plane plz
Does anyone know of a cheap but quality 5.8ghz receiver that I can use with my new FPV system I'm planning to make for my quadcopter? So, any cheap but good 5.8ghz receiver? Thanks.
This equipment can only be used with a Ham Radio Ticket in the USA! Anything above a class C power output has to have a Ham ticket!
Got to do another tower dive in another vid
Nice Olsen Twin Impression Chad...
Technically, a HAM technician level license is required to operate the FPV equipment in the US...do any of you FPV pilots out there actually get your license before flying? Just curious :). Nice video, FT! Informative and entertaining as usual.
I was just thinking about that and I'm almost certain that they don't.
+Klaus Bendel It's been a while since I commented, and I've got my HAM ticket! What started out for just FPV'ing legally turned into a small time hobby, and I ended up reviving / running my school's HAM radio club, building a weather balloon APRS packet radio system for a class project, getting my General class HAM license, and working parades and other events for my local ARES chapter. I'm now approved as a VEC so I can give tests to make more HAMs! HAM licenses are good stuff, lots of fun and learning to be had in the RF world.
CoolNamesAllTaken I have no idea what those acronyms mean but I'm glad to see someone is flying fpv safely.
iv just tried to sign up again its still not letting me sign in even with a new code I'm not using my Facebook account sorry
Cool
Didn't like image resolution, and there is no "return to home" function included in the package to protect your investment. I would recommend a product update
I challenge you guys (flight test) to make the first rocket glider and make plans for it😋
Guys I have a challenge for you. Make Similar copy of the helicarrier from avengers and try to fly it. .... btw great videos :)
which is better for fpv: 2.4 or 5.8
I'm not huge into fpv but I'm pretty sure 5.8 is a lot better but I could be wrong
+SkiFlyHike FishShoot
2.4GHz is the standard for most control links for model aircraft these days. As far as FPV, if your just starting out 5.8GHz is a great beginners band for the video link since the equipment is not all that complex and quite compact for what you can do with it.
i was like: Hey you have a mobius cam... not anymore!
