This stuff is the reason I started watching FT 6 years ago. Moar long distance!!!!
Two very impressive things. First, the flight and video quality were amazing. Second, there are actually two Americans who can use the word ‘twice’. I don’t know which I appreciate the most.
You guys, and this video, are a perfect example of the pure joy of flying quads! The laughing, the jokes, the flying, the enjoyment of spending time with friends....awesome!
Super bad ass. For most areas, 1 mile is really all you can fly before getting into houses, no fly zones and other things. 1 mile range is a sweet distance. Excellent job guys.
What's really fun is giving it a moment of punch and listening for how long it takes the sound to get to you
So impressed with your flying skills around the tower, derrick and trees at the end of the flight. Impressive battery life on your quad, I need one.
Skydiving with the quad!! Wha!!!!! The front yard track is sick too! Making me want a floss now !
A crossfire is way overkill to fly just 1.6km away, you should try to get at least 10 kilometers out of it!.
Challenge: fly a FT model as far as possible
Fluburtur Couldn't have done it without the crossfire module when using that Spektrum transmitter 😉
Too bad, my cheap flysky fs-i6 can push at least one km and probably two
agreed 1 mile is nothing I got 1.5 miles with my turnigy x9
Fluburtur lol.... it might end up on someone else's collection, if they go too far. :-) but hey , they do have spares. ........
You're not trying hard enough with that equipment. I've had a cheap eachine 250 racer over a mile with the cheapo flysky is6. PUSH IT!!! Lmao.
Thrilled you did this. I asked last week for a long range quad video and you have delivered. More of this type of project please.
Very fun vid!! I know that some are underwhelmed by this, but frankly, it was fun to watch and I've never taken one of my mini quads that far. So .. cheers to you for doing it and having a great time in the process ... last time I checked, that's what it's all about!!
dave
Really happy for you guys. This was awesome. Thanks for doing this video. So happy you guys did a long range run!
Jeremy, add in a little more retro FT music into the videos. We love the new stuff and all but the original music never gets old. We miss it sometimes.
I can get 20 minutes of flight on my five inch quad...
With a 5Ah 4S battery :P
That's pretty good
I like that TJ is so cool while flying. It's like that quad could have burst into flames and he would still say" no problem I'm bringing her home guys".
Never mind of is half a mile, one mile or ten miles. The important thing is to have fun flying. Great flight guys!
TUNE IT TJ!
I love watching super nerds getting fired up.
Fantastic job on the build.Keep up the great work.
Great video guys.I liked the part when you moved over so you would not fly over the house on the way to the tower,very nice!Give us many more videos please!!!
Good job TJ! Now you gotta go 2 miles! Get a GPS on there too and always DVR your flights! Have fun!
It's so easy to get lost flying like that. Good thing you had spotters. I'm stoked to see this little tykes plane fly
My first quad was the Blackout 330 and it's still flying. I use it for photo, video and as a platform for experimental fun. It's big enough, strong enough with a decent flight time for plenty of fun.
That was a fun video! Cool to see how well TJ's and the rest of the flite test work is paying off. I do believe I am going to pick up one of these mystical birds and take it on a magic journey of my own! :D
Haha LOVE it! ;) Let us know how that "Journey" goes my friend!
Upon re-watching I heard TJ say, "Like if we were going to do the Catalina, we could do it over a lake or something..." Would that be a PBY Catalina? Is that a scratch build that that is coming out?! Did I find a teaser nugget? Please be true!
It would be awesome to see you guys race with FT Spears around that same tower and back!!!
I would REALLY like to see that.
Great Video Guy's. Real excitement. I got the same feeling from your video that I had when I flew my H that distance. I started small; quarter of a mile first, then half a mile and then the mile. But first I did a static range check with my mate from West Wales Models across a valley (no obstructions) and got 1.64 miles before the video signal started to break up. Love all your videos. Best Regards Dave Morgan.
Thanks Dave! Thanks for being a part of this awesome community! ;)
Brown out - brown trousers more like :) that thing is Kool as nuts - and remaining juice in the battery - - nice job
Alex looked so happy at the end on the dirt bike! XD2
ha ha that's a moped
AWESOME!
That first 30 sec. look like a fighter jet coming in to get refiled from a tanker, even the roll out at the end.
glad to see you guys doing stuff like this. wish you would do some more. maybe some INAV, gps, long range stuff. good job.
Man that was awesome I didn't think he was going to make it as far as visibility goes
before I even watch the rest...........what a great intro shot!!!!!!
Who wears his goggles backwards?
-Moms, cause they have eyes at the back of the head.
That's what I took from this video.
wANNA BE cALI bOYS
Lol mammas boy. It’s ok I used to be too
TJ doing chase cam practice at the end. Keep practicing. Alex has a sixth sense though. Good luck getting that good.
Chip Garlock lol Tj is a way better pilot than me:)
I loved the distance that was so awesome. If you guys could show more like that. That will be awesome.
Awesome VLOGs keep up the great work.
With that trip to the tower and back to the farm, you guys are looking at over two miles. That is pretty good. Imagine doing over four miles and that would be a wow factor.
Pretty cool. TBS Crossfire is a great system! He needs to turn his antenna on his transmitter though. It should be horizontal. Having it vertical like that, with the one on the quad Horizontal effectively cuts your signal by several db.
Alex, that little bike is so " you" Hahaha, great flite Tj, thanks guys for another awesome vlog
Rick B aka Plastic butcher
Awesome job on the 2 mile round trip, keep it up
Hey guys i'm so pumped for flite fest south, i bought my tickets and everything. get ready to see some funky planes.
btw, TJ tune your quad. :P
Hey where are they going this time
Florida my home state.
Daniel Borras wow I just moved from Texas to virgina a week ago
cool
Very nices videos!! Hello from South of Spain. Andalucia. 🇪🇸🇪🇸🔝🔝👍👏👏👏👏
I did this with my phantom and made a vid about it! Doing these kind of flights are scary and I applaud you guys for being able to do it without a gps and return to home like a phantom
It was a straight and low attitude flight. It is also LOS. You can see the long cornfield by turning back. So for this straightline flight, no big deal even without GPS
That is crazy.. well done.
That was the Coolest distance flight yall r good.
Thanks for the awesome content, your videos got me into FPV, I'm a beginner but am already in love with the hobby.
Just starting out and watching this is just more motivation thanks guy's very cool
Owwwww! Tune that quad TJ!!!!
Better get the wheel barrow out to haul those BIG BALLS !!! AWESOME !!!
I normally just hit the like button, but this video deserves a comment. That was freakin awesome, I’m new to the hobby and have a 5in Alien build. I love it but am sometimes left wanting to explore more and this setup looks like the way to go.
Question though, what crossfire settings was that on? Micro can’t do that I’d imagine, and the full version has the 3 output settings right? Was that maxed out at the 2000mw output with external battery?
Wow Iv pushed it, but never that far that's crazy, the feed never got wonky. I'm impressed.
Can I get a shirt that says "Mystical Bird on a Magical Journey?" I love that lol
Nothing to be said but Bloodyfantastic!
That guy who walks in front of the directional antenna LOL
Wow, amazing footage...!
Been saving up for TBS for a bit now. Now I see this. >.> Jelly
It better get you there and back with voltage to spare that's a freaking SEVENTY DOLLAR BATTERY!!!!
TJ should definitely tunde that quad. Impresive distace. Wondering how you get video go that far.
If you can see it, you should maintain signal. Line of sight really isn't "far" per se until you start to get that coriolis effect and get earth in the way.
Fun stuff though!
If you went lower with the trees.....
Now that was impressive!
@FliteTest Could you show us the Spektrum battery mod?
Tj your quad looks well tuned minus a few tiny oscillations. Should be an easy tune! Hey
+Jonesy Films that’s what I LOVE about the new flight controllers. For most people they fly ‘good enough’ on stock tune. I’ll just make Ian do it for me 😂 -TJ
Hey T-Bone! love the vid! very impressed with the video quality with the V4s, What diversity module are you using in it? Thanks!!!!
That was great! I can't wait til I finish my LR build. Was working on it tonight.
Long range fpv flight is awesome with planes. Quads burn through their battery way too quickly.
Try making frames fluorescent orange or yellow to improve visibility at long distances and for search & rescue in the woods, a beeper is sometimes not enough.
Nice flight ....well done....think safety first... you had enough spotters to see what was in the air in the quads vicinity, even if you couldn't see the quad.. longer flights are going to get more risky.. binoculars would help at distance... and spotters are a must just in case other air traffic turns up... planned routes would be an idea to avoid flying over houses and to give accurate distances flown
entertaining guys, really surprised at no interference (#longwalktorecovery) from the communication tower. Great Quad
Only 1mi? I've been going 2 to 3mi for over 2yrs with Phantoms. The P4P goes over 4mi! Yes, a blast.
Love it! Took my Phantom 4 Pro out three miles and back, at night, to check out some strobe lighting. Nothing like pushing it a bit!
This is an awesome vid. That was an amazing and very much enjoyed flight. I knew it was gonna be good when I read the title. And yes, please bring break the good times when flights were longer than 3 mins. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
makes a nice change from flips and rolls...we started quads yrs back with 8" props,super long flights..
Shameless plug for Part 107 BvLOS. Nice to have a waiver (??)
With all the technology you guys have at your disposal I would love to see more long-range flight
Was going to say... for stock PIDs on 6 inch, that ain't half bad!
you need to tune your quad tj. if thats what you do..you got to tune it... also its funny to see so much "long range" stuff suddenly being all the rage. Its been out back in 2013 or earlier. crossfire isn't new, dragonlink was around before then too.. its just now the crossfire is available in a micro setup.
Please more stuff like this!!!
😃
Awesome flight guys. Stephen, dig the black and red T shirt you have on in this vid. Where can I get one like it?
Back from 2019 and still came back to watch this epic video... Makes me wont to buy a r9 setup...cant afford a crossfire yet , but do not mind the haters this was and still epic!!!
One of my favourite vlogs!!
Great video! Since 'Long Range' is an arbitrary term, based on a particular craft exceeding its normal capabilities, your use of the term is appropriate... I don't see the validity in the arguments below; Your flight was certainly within the new limits provided by the Crossfire! I would have liked to see what the new boundary was, but a more controlled environment was needed... I was holding my breath when Mr. Bone swooped low over the trees on the return... So glad to watch your successful flight in this video! Thanks!!
This is AWESOME!
Would you guys consider doing a video about how to hook up and setup a TBS system on the spektrum radio's? What parts are needed etc
I love the slow mo lol
Holy crap epic distance
Awesome guys ✈️😊
I don't think you mentioned your FPV setup in the video. What was your diversity module and vtx power?
please tune the quad thank you
Meanwhile 15 year olds are regularly posting 20km+ flights.
Meanwhile I can't manage to get 500ft without losing video...I'm havin a tough time with my first build...damnit. 500mw on TBS 5g8 HV and I have two antennas on eachine 200's...maybe I need to add Rapidfire to the goggles?
KnightDriveTV make sure your vtx is unlocked
@@zepranks8962 I've solved many issues. Did the manual push unlock and finally got my vtx tables loaded that matched the vtx. I am all good now. Flyin plenty far and adding gps today. Gotta stay in it and keep readin...lol
Haha😂👍 Im 14 made 4.6miles yesterday with 5.8ghz (800mw)video and no ground station. Hopfully i made 20km when im 15👍
Update 2mo later. Worked through the issues. I have much greater range. Just requires getting everything in order. Antenna placement, getting your transmit power and SA controls in order. My issue was betaflight was keepin me in 25mw. Finally figured out how to coordinate betaflight and sa controls in the goggles and set up what I wanted. Now I do crazy stuff. Keys are ADD GPS AND A BEEPER!!! Always record your goggles. Once range goes up, chances of loss go up. Lost my drone in the desert overnight, ended up finding it. Now GPS and strobes and buzzers in board
great vid again guys
I love that opening shot! I haven’t seen anyone get a shot like that before! I’ve wondered why FPV guys haven’t put rear facing GoPros on freestyle quads for some cool views.
Also. Where can I get Stefan’s shirt?
id like to see you guys team up with sam and niko / corridor digital! this is dope
Please do more episodes like this, maybe use multiple drones have a goal like the tower, use some boneyard planes. i dunno. anyways rad episode
Was it 1 mile round trip or 1 mile out and back? impressive either way.
drone goals :D
This is awesome. I'm really interested in longer flight times so we can use drones for searching for lost dogs or people in our rural area. :)
+Casey Wagner honestly for this type of use DJI or other products would be more ideal. Ability to adjust the gimbal to look down plus 20+ minutes flight tomes
TJ should do a video on how to properly tune PIDs.
Way to cool dude. I want one..lol.
FOR sure! They are fantastic! ;)
I need to fly before it snows, or get a whoop
All the above!! ;)
You guys are just too awesome!!
There are some seriously deep pockets there.
(Sitting here can't helping but bob to the music) now I am interested with a long distance challenge. Would you match up the FT 270 up against a long distance FT Spear and see which can complete a voyage back and fourth to the tower the quickest on a single battery?
