- The little Eachine 400mm RTF warbird series of RC planes from Banggood are fantastic models for beginners and experts alike -- but can they be converted to fly FPV?
In this video I convert my P51D to FPV using a Runcam camera and 200mW VTX board with excellent results.
Below are the links to key parts on Banggood but you can buy these things from a lot of other places. These are NOT affiliate links and you should check to see which BG warehouse has stock and the best shipping before ordering.

100% agree with this. I have added FPV to everything. The quads started it. The planes all got iNav and cameras. I *Just* finished a truck with an articulating FPV Stig head. It's a hobby ( _not an addiction_ )
The dog is next, if I can't find something else to strap a VTx to!
Rc crawlers are great to FPV as well! 😊
@Sema Dragun Not really. Crawlers have a fantastic suspension and they run pretty slowly. 😊
My dog shook too much (been there ;-) ).
"Not even a choking hazard!" Brilliant. &: LONG LIVE THE RED-TAILS!
It's the likes of you spreading the rumours that RC should be fun!
Excellent review, great to see a reviewer enjoy the hobby and give practical and proven review.
Surprisingly good! Also great camera choice. The CCD makes the prop look like a prop and not a wiggly mess~~
What a superb plane, and interesting with the FPV. Great recommendation.
Always enjoy watching your videos. Stay Blessed!
Agreed have like 7 of these little guys absolutely love the pusher prop jet planes they make too.
Bruce thank you for what you do. I enjoy your videos!!!!
BRILLIANT!! Another GR8 Vid from you!!!! Straight to the point!!!
Any imperfections will be perfect
I did this with my Corsair. So much fun!
Nice! I love that little foamy - looks even better with FPV! Great video.
Absolutely amazing Bruce. I have one of these and an very tempted to do surgery!! Great video, as always. Thanks and cheers from Oz.
maaaaannnnn ...... this is DOPE!!!
Fixed wing FPV is really awsome! nice work sir!
Nicely done!!
Hi Bruce. Fun and enjoyment is what its all about. 👍
A whole lot of fun with a small plane, good for practice. I like the sound of FOV dog fight 👍🏻
Micro rc fpv?..Genius 🤓👍
I think he got something there😉 GREAT JOB ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nice tiny gears doing amazing flying views!. 🇨🇱👍
Very impressive Bruce. I must get one. Awesome job mate. 👍
Unik and beautiful bro ..👍👍
Nice FPV flight. Flying those Micro Planes via FPV is a lot of fun. See you in the Air!
been wanting to do this to my mini p51 these planes are great just got the f4u also me and my daughter fly them all the time
I did the same with their little pusher jet. Same view, no prop,way fast. So fun regardless.
Cool dude! I put floats on the mini mustang p51d, and now it lands on water, video is live.
It can't takeoff, but it's great fun practicing landings
thanks heisenberg!
Fantastic flying, Bruce! 😃
Beautiful little airplane! Great review!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great ,beautiful, stay safe...are you a Bot
OK, so next. Outlaw part 2 build
Very cool, I dig it.
ordering one now
cheers! great video I just ordered both things from the links, i cant wait to give it a go!
Nice model, I have to get one for sure..
Brilliant
I FPV'd my Volantex Sport Cub 500. Lots of fun on 1S!
How did it affect the flight time and the models flying characteristics? I have the same plane and I’m thinking about converting it to an fpv. Also what parts did you use?
@@achimastosjohn6521 Just a random all-in-one FPV mini FPV cam like Whoops use, with it's own tiny lipo battery. Didn't noticeably affect flight time or characteristics.
Thank You
Lovely 😍
Love those, man.
I have never gotten into fpv flying in this video really makes me want to do it.
Nice review!
What kind of goggles are you using, and what type of helical?
how did you wire the camera to the power...???? you skipped that bit....
Love it
Very cool !!!
That’s awesome
There are analog setups now under 2g the eachine tx06 I think is the lightest you can literally FPV all but, the smallest of indoor flyers it's so cool to a micro head like myself.
Those machine gun noises had me crackin up
it reminds me of the little foam P51 I used to have from Hobbyzone when I was a teen
Wish you all the best! No vids for such a long time means no good in whatever aspect
Love the idea!
Just bought the Sky04L goggles to get into the FPV hobby but not sure how the stock antennas will do. Any suggestions on what to look for as upgrades?
Good idea
Nice flight! Everyone i saw a video from about this plane says its awesome and everyone should have one, maybe ill buy it too someday 😄
We have here with lot Friends these models from eachine.
Hours of fun with them
That's like me in 2015 with my UMX Radian and a tiny little custom FPV setup. Great fun!

I still have the shitty cam and vtx from my tinyhawk freestyle sitting under the bench. Ive been thinking of this for a while, and you have provided the kick in the arse I needed haha. The tiny mustang is a great plane eh
Thanks uncle Bruce. Happy flying mate
Very nice I think I get one of those. Haven't flown yet but I have just bought my first fpv set planned for a much larger plane. This could be a good training set to start with.
Absolutely, you can crash this tiny plane as much as you want without having to worry.
Sweet, I have one that I rigged up a camera and vtx on and haven't flown it yet. Looking forward to it though.
Mounted my camera on the bottom.
The best fun is to do this in tight spaces like a small forest .. so much fun
Awesome !
And of course are 200mW enough - *in an open field!*
;)
I don't have a Mustang but I do have the similar T28 from the same series and, I agree, they're great fun. I have mine bound to my Horus with a multiprotocol module in the JR housing. You don't mention which stabilisation level you used. I find the Intermediate OK, even in a breeze, but the 'Expert' mode (which has zero stabilisation) a bit of a challenge. The endurance is amazing - I usually fly for around 10 minutes but I've heard 20 minutes are possible.
I find I need to use a lot of rudder in the turns to keep the model close enough for my old eyes to see and orientate it but I guess with fpv that's not an issue. Great experiment, and it revealed where the electronics are situated.
The max I’ve got out of my Eachine corcair was 25 minutes
I wonder if you could put a tiny 2 cell in for longer flight time.
i love this guy. he sounds exactly like taggart from eureka ha ha ha and thats a compliment !
Hey Bruce, your audio sounds AMAZING outdoors! What is your mic set up? I can see you're using a wireless LAV, what kind is it?
It's the R0de Wireless Go system. Had it for a couple of years now and it's been flawless.
@Sema Dragun If you're talking about the R0de mic I'm not sure of the range because I don't usually operate beyond 20m or so. If you're talking about the P51 it seems good for at least 150m with the Jumper TLite transmitter but I'll fly further to see when it failsafes.
Hi Bruce it was Eflight and Spektrum that made it. Thanks again for the video and repeat.
Great stuff! you could've saved a few grams in weight if you'd ditched the metal camera holder and the piece of plywood, and just double-sided taped down the camera, and then further secured it with a short piece of cable tie. That's how I secure these aio cams on my ultra-light models :-)
Would be interesting to see how you connected the power supply for the FPV camera. Love those little warbirds!
At 04:50 you can see he's soldered his camera wires to two points on the flight controller. It's nice to see that the stock hardware already has the capacity for this! :)
cool video
I'm trying the same setup. How long does last the battery?
What's your thoughts on putting a decent vtx and cam on a max thrust Ruckus Bruce, with cobra x goggles and menace rc antenna.
Hi Bruce Don't you know when great minds start thinking and BOOM. I had one of those back in the 90s. I think it was made by flighttest ? Something like that. They had the Zero and Corsair. The only difference between us is I'm using the Eachine TX2 25mw and the AKK FX-3 that's 200mw. One of my friends has a Timberwolf who has the TX2 , I also did my rc race car, and a horizon Rock rey, JATO and the TEMPER all have cameras. I just did a quick video with the rock rey. Anyway Thanks again for the video. Have fun and stay healthy for we can watch your RANTS.

Hi Bruce. Hope you well v thanks again for all your input in our rc hobby. I would like to ask you some advice on buying a new transmitter. I love the radio master tx16 s max and now there is a eachine tx16s out now. Which one would you buy. Please help. Kind regards Johan from South Africa 😊
This thing flying well fpv my eachine p51 are now with 25mw aio fpv is so stable
Great video. This is my first time viewing your channel. I'm hoping to do some micro fpv stuff like this. Getting back into RC planes after a 30 year break. Things have changed a bit, for the better.
Awesome! You might be able to mount the camera on a 4g servo and parallel it with rudder to get some pan action. Think it might be cool to see a wing in view as did a turn.
Another option, is a 2mm carbon rod, and you could pair two of these together to make a formation flyer. (could even join 3x of these and be under 250g).
Or maybe connect the cam to the rudder servo.. or rudder control arm?
How long is the flight time?
G'day Bruce. Great video! I've ordered the plane today based on your video. Question about the T-Lite (I have a T-Lite and I love it). You mentioned that you bound it to the Jumper T-Lite; which protocol setting do you use on the T-Lite? Even better, if possible could you do a video on binding it to the T-Lite? Tim
V761
Albert Kim made a video on it, step by step I am also gonna bind it to my Jumper t-lite. Hope this helps!

Classic example of someone who loves the sound of there own voice,
Hi Bruce, enjoyed that, where did you tap into to power the camera VTX please?
I now see it demonstrated just after you removed the canopy!
Makes me wanna finish my 30mm EDF Yak 23
What cam did you use, please. And a short clip on how you put this together, I'm a newbie
How long have you had the jumper t-lite and has it given you any issues? I really want to get the 4 in 1 multi-protocol with dsmx
You've got cool stuff on your channel Sir I love it 😃👍
We can add a flat cell mobile battery more Lighter than that :D
Been flying one for around a year. Much fun to be had.
Sonic model do a 600mm of the Ranger that is a fab little thing (uses same TX/ex)
czcams.com/video/F9wmNYFWKiY/video.html
Ranger600 sample
Typo there. The "Sonik" re-brand label of the OEM Volantex stuff available in the UK and elsewhere has nothing at all to do with the SonicModel/ZOHD gear. 🙂
do you know how do you know when the transmitter power (The original one.)is on low battery?
Can you do a tutorial how to get the fpv camra on the plane and where i get the goggle
Which camera is attached to the vtx?
Great video Bruce, I'm about to do the same thing. What protocol did you use to bind the Jumper T-Lite to the P51?
It uses the V761 protocol.
@@Temporal_Flux Great, thanks
Hey flyers, question! How do you know when to replace the transmitter 4xAA batteries? Will it give a warning beep or flash of some sort? The idea of losing the transmitter and having the plane disappear into the distance sounds disastrous but there's no mention of this in the manual. Thanks!
ask somting.
is this plane flying as a drone ?? the same handeling ?
gr
Camera plugs into vtx and where does vtx connect to, is it just sliced into to red and black power cables thanks
Bruuuhuuuuce.... were you shooting blades of grass again....?!?
=P :D
sir, is fpv rc plane easier to control then the rc plane without fpv? I have the same model as yours.
I have eachine t28 trojan, how to find cg position, i also want to install fpv for t28 trojan like your video
Hi Bruce - Another excellent review - love the energy you put into reviews! However I wouldn't touch Bangood with an electric cattle prod - TOO MANY disastrous purchase attempts (and following lies) in the past - and surprise, surprise "unable to ship to your country" both Aus and NZ.
Is the beginner mid and expert modes still available if using the Jumper T-Lite transmitter. Many thanks and great content.
I would like to know this too. I have the Volantex ranger 600 and I think it uses the same protocol.
Amazing! I have this exact model plane. Is there an external module to be able to bind to my QX7? Thank you
you could try the JP4in1 or the IRX4 multiprotocol module. Make sure its the full size JR module.
I’m in!!!!!
Hi Bruce what's the best way to power a 4in1 camera safely, I'm new to soldering and model plane electronics thanks
Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
