Great video , my favorite landing was the second one!!!!
Those are some sweet landings dead stick and FPV! Very nice work
Glad you like it. Thanks for the encouragement and visiting. Cheers!
Nice!!!
Thanks!
Great job on the landings! It helps to have a smooth runway to show off your greasers. I made a similar video 3 months ago, and despite my glider experience, could not land as smoothly as you. Deadstick landings take practice to get right!
Thank you! We are fortunate to have a smooth, long runway in very scenic surroundings. The aircraft makes a difference, too. The Viper has very good glide ratio and can hold a long wheelie with good CG. It’s exceptional flying qualities makes me not want to fly other planes🙂
I agree, I do greasers easily on dead stick landings with my plane, and also did when landing as an airline captain, but it’s much more difficult to do it with a fpv model with no airspeed indication😉
OMG i love your location you are so lucky!
we have a valley looks similar to yours but there is a beach where the sun set, but an airfield needs to be built lol
Indeed we are fortunate to have access to this field! Having smooth runway adds lots of enjoyment to flying and saves on airplane repair bills, too!
Man oh man that's so dope. Hope I can get into a setup like that soon.
Start with trainer RC planes first, then add the head-tracking FPV system. You will get there fast!
@Motionsic RC & FPV I use a really cheap FPV system on my T7a pucture so grainy i cant even use it, I let others use it and take them on flights. I am working on a training prop plane as we speak and then on to a nice FPV system so I can actually use the system. 👍
this is amazing! one day I'm going to make something like this 😎❤️✈️
Go for it!
Nice!
Thanks!
This is truely epic. I am working my way up to this but this is mesmerizing! Please make some more vid's!
Thanks for the encouragement! Will try!
I have my 15th anniversary viper jet ready to go with the motionsic gimbal, dji 03 air unit and motion tracker. May attempt a flight tonight! So nervous!
Beautiful plane. Thoroughly test and familiarize yourself with head-tracker operation before solo FPV flight. I usually have a friend ride using head-tracking FPV while I fly LOS to test all systems on maiden flights. Once all bugs are ironed out then I fly FPV. Also have a friend call out altitude for landing approaches. You want to practice that as much as possible without actually landing before flight time is up. Good luck on your maiden!
Love the barrel roll around the moon😊 Video is from the cam card, of course? could we see once from the goggle's sd card to see the difference? (in my case, even close, I have some pixellisation sometimes)
Thanks Alan. Make sure your transmission power setting is 700 mW and auto temperature protection is off. Pixelization should not happen within 1km. Check your antenna, they need to be secure and not moving in the wind. Also if they point down, not too close to flight battery. Also, I use high quality mode instead of low latency. My image inside goggles is very clear for the distances I fly. True 720P.
@@motionsic thank you so much, of course, I had to hack the DJI power since it is limited at 25 mw of power in my country. Will check for autotemp and installation !
That is incredible, it looks like your in the plane so much.
Very good flying also.
Is that the best of fpv ? I can't see it getting any better.
Thanks! The resolution in the goggles has gotten better. This recording was 1080P, newer equipment now record in 4K.
That’s really good job! Awesome man !!! Loved it! How much does it costs to do the same fpv flight and video like you do?
Hey Arthur, glad you are interested in head-tracking FPV flying. Approximately $1000 USD. Here’s a list of equipment I use:
DJI Digital FPV Goggles:

DJI Digital FPV Air unit

Tally-ho Head-tracker

@@motionsic ah ok so that’s expensive lol
@@ArthurRC true, on the first setup. But once you have the goggles and head-tracker setup, you just need air unit and gimbal for each plane that you want to fly from cockpit. Or you can transfer the gimbal and camera to different planes. Think of it this way, you can sacrifice a couple planes but gain a whole new way of flying for all of your other planes. Each plane, two uses, both LOS and FPV flying. And it’s much more affordable than renting full size planes😉
How did I miss this one?! Beautiful scenery and impeccable landings! What a great way to practice, I bet it is a lot of fun as well as developing your airmanship. Really cool. How high were you at the start of the video?
I honestly don’t know how high the plane reached. No instrumentation on my plane. But I was once told we are cleared to 4000’ MSL in our area, field elevation is at 1400’. So we have 2600’ to play with. I would estimate my plane reached around 400’ agl.
@@motionsic no instrumentation? Wow, you do very well to judge your approach speeds, do you not worry about stalling? When I used to fly that big drone (the profile pic I never changed) it used to have a pilots display for things like heading, horizon, speed, height agl, and battery life. I just assumed you would have the same, but it can be taken off the recording. Anyway the model looks nice and high - you get a great view.
This video is awesome.
What transmitter are you using?
Could you make a video of your VR setup and equipment please.
I use a FrSky X20S transmitter. It has Bluetooth trainer which allows wireless connection with head-tracker.
Thanks for the quick response.
I also wanted to ask if it's possible to use the spectrum NX 8 or NX 10?
@@marcoperez7553 yes, although with wired connection; you need a wired trainer adapter: www.horizonhobby.com/product/wired-trainer-adapter-ix-and-nx-transmitters/SPMA3091.html

what should you buy on your app to go FPV? Every thing.?
Hope to do similar things with my Viper 90 soon! can I ask you what are your settings on the DJI to have so soft images?
I use standard mode, and saturation is 4 (6 is maximum). In bright conditions, I use ND16 filter on lens. But in this video, no ND filter were used. At dusk, the lighting is naturally best and camera actually makes the color better than real life🙂
@@motionsic thanks👍
Hi , I have your gimble and have been flying with it for 25 flights . It was great video for 20 of them and now it is crap and I don't know what I did . Could you tell us what settings you are using in the DJI , goggles what antennas , position of them . Thanks for your time.
So are you saying the video quality has degraded in the goggles? I set the transmission power to 700 mW. 25 MB bandwidth (club rule so others can fly, too). Auto temperature protection off. Stock antenna. There are three things I can think off that could degrade your video:
1. Your antenna on air unit is loose, make sure they are properly secure so they don’t flop around in wind, movement with metal contact can cause noise. I turn mine in a upside down “V” and tap them to fuselage/ cockpit.
2. If the antenna is close to fuselage, make sure they are not blanketed by huge flight battery, or you have to change antenna orientation or find different airframe with different battery location.
3. Make sure you do not have the sun shine directly into the goggles or your screen would be damaged.
4. Optional, but I use MD filter on my lens when the sun is bright. It makes the color look better and protect the camera sensors somewhat.
@@motionsic Thanks for the info ,I will use your settings and see what happens.
Does your Viper have a canopy around the camera? It looks like no.
No. The stock canopy was too blurry to see through, so I decided not to use it.
How can I buy one of these planes with FPV goggles? Can you please give me some information where I can purchase complete RTF or if you do sell it on the side for a certain price .please let me know. I’m very interested buying the whole thing including radio Tx.
Thanks for your interest! Do you currently fly RC planes? If not, I do not recommend flying a plane like this as a beginner.
I fly IMacs , jets ,and Helicopters. But no drones . I hate drones! 😂. Let me know if your ever selling one RTF with the FPV goggles. This will be awesome for my club to have and demos on funflys .
Hey! Please show a 360 degree of the aircraft before going FPV. It would be nice to see how each of your aircraft have the 360 setup.
You mean like this: czcams.com/video/HHgOBIoPpjU/video.html
Or 360 from outside the plane?
360 outside the plane. You did show the plane in the video you shared. So thats good enough for me 😀
Disable your elevator in flight.
That's a real man's dead stick landing.
That's not the normal convention for dead-stick though.
@@motionsic A dead throttle just makes you a glider pilot, and glider pilots make perfect landings all the time. If you didn't go to glider school first and learn to fly the wing not the engine, you shouldn't be flying an airplane. Maybe time to backpedal.
A dead elevator flapping in the wind will get you killed. You can lose rudder, you can lose aileron, you can lose throttle, and if you're plane is balanced you can still fly it fine.
A dead elevator though.. hmm.. yes, if it's fixed flat in place, and you use throttle to raise and lower your nose. That is more worth practicing.
