    • @cwwisk
      @cwwisk Před 27 dny

      @@r1m.s877 I love my AtomRC Dolphin, but I still prefer having rudder or at least differential thrust for yaw control. You don't need it usually, but it's nice if you get to the edge of your video or control range and need to turn around quick. I use walksnail or 2.4ghz/1.3ghz analog signals, and I have pushed the limits of 2.4ghz analog and walksnail using stock antennas. Rth works, but I hate trusting my plane to fly blind for 10 seconds or more. I also use 915mhz ELRS system or FRSKY TDMX receiver, and depending on antenna orientation, I have definitely pushed the range of my transmitter with stock antennas.
      As for typical close range stuff (and maybe my antennas have been the problem because my planes haven't made it too terribly far. Like 1/20 of my expected range) I like to spot land and scale fpv.
      @botgrinder get your antennas positioned vertically and parallel to the transmitter if possible. It will help with range and latency. Also remember the plane will generally be moving faster than most freestyle quads do, so maybe look into a higher power vtx so you know you won't go blind.

    Bro, I feel for you, last year this dude got killed in front of me, but worse, he ran the same direction as me and every bullet flew at me. I didn’t get hit but I’ll never forget the pop wiz pop twang!
