FPV Witness to Mid-Air Crash in Formation! ✈️💥🛩

- Witness a mid-air collision (two planes down) while practicing tight FPV formation flying with three other RC planes using Tally-ho head tracker and Motionsic BAG (BadAss Gimbal pan & tilt) in a FMS Zero fighter 1400mm wingspan RC plane. It was a windy day and very challenging to hold tight formation together. Wind also blew Zero off course while searching for the collision wreckage.
Lesson learned: never try to search for wingmen in close proximity, after losing sight. Break away to establish safe separation, then rejoin from lower altitude after reacquiring sight of wingmen from distance. Coming down from higher altitude proved deadly!

You bring me good memories. I used to fly analog FPV before 2014. until The whole R/C model aircraft was banned where I live. back then HD FPV was very laggy and cannot be used to fly. The image quality was nothing near what you see here. I'm happy for you guys that you can enjoy FPV in peace in USA without being looked at as if you're doing something wrong or against the law. It's just a hoppy. Happy FPV flying, and keep them coming.
This FPV RC plane flying stuff is amazing, what a time to be alive. I'd love to see a build video on how you set all of this up on your plane(s)
Coming soon!
Perfect crosswind landing!
Thanks! I got lucky. Could have hit grass on rollout and flipped over. The approach was iffy😉
Wow, sorry about that!!! .., hope the damage is easily repairable for both pilots… 🙋🏼♂️
Thanks for the well wishes! L-4’s front end needs rebuilding. CJ-6 is a write off🥲
Great video! Thank you for the experience!
You are welcome!
It feels like "Top Gun Maverick".
I wish! Thanks for the encouragement😉
Thank you for sharing!
Cheers!
Fantastic !!!
Thanks. Cheers!
Cool footage!!
Thanks man!
nailed it 👍🏻
Haha, indeed!
Ooops! Surprise
Very nice intro (or outro at the end)! Greets, Mario
Thanks Mario! You ready to give my pan & tilt a try yet?
BOOF!
That is too bad. Did the #4 plane not have head tracking or was there just too much ground clutter? The head tracking makes it so much easier to keep track of the other plane or planes when flying in formation. Hopefully they can get them fixed and get back into the air.
He was above the other planes so wing probably blocked his view. Another contributing factor was #4’s prop was severely out of balance causing jello in his view. So planes far away might not have been visible.
do you also sell products that are a set with RC jets such as mig 29 and others? in the sense that when we bought it was a package and we didn't need to think about anything else, just play
I may consider offering that service in the future. But there’s simply to many different planes to keep stock for different pre-made sets. The way my head-tracker kits are designed. It’s very close to plug and play. If you can setup trainer mode on RC transmitter, you can setup head-tracker. And the gimbal only takes a few screws to set up in the cockpit. All with simple to understand one page instruction. It takes a couple of extra channels on RC receiver, that’s it. Very easy.
@@motionsic would you consider if someone wants to buy directly in a package, I think you can consider that and I also give you advice so you don't spend too much A lot of money for that you only need to take orders if someone wants to buy them in a series including the type of hospital he wants and when he pays you your new meal Mention what he ordered, be it cars or planes and jets of the EDF type or real turbine engines, that's my advice, friend
where can you buy those planes with fpv inside the cockpit?
Well, the planes don’t come with FPV inside the cockpit. You have to instal them yourself, though the kits are pretty simple to install, if you have plenty of RC flying experience.
Here are the list components I used:

thanks, very good information
How did you power the dji fpv camera?
Separate small 12V BEC, weigh 5 grams:

@@motionsic how did you connect the BEC to the air unit and how did you power the BEC
@@abelyohannes6626 solder a lead to the main power lead for connection with flight batter and JST plug to connect to be BEC input lead. Solder another JST plug to Air Unit power leads and connect to BEC output lead.
Can you leave a DJI power bank at full charge without damaging it?
Hopefully, not for long and not in high temperature. Having lithium battery fully charged and in a hot car is sure to reduce its cycle life…
@@motionsic Well I have to send my goggles in to be repaired. One of my power banks is at full charge and I cannot storage charge or use the power until it comes back. It's probably going to take damage until it returns? I don't keep it in a hot car it will be kept in my room.
@@larsulrich3356 well, DJI batteries are smart, they self discharge if not used for a while.
@@motionsic Really???!!
Robert:你回來台灣啦？這是西港機場
是啊回來一個多月了, 這是在台南安定飛場, 這天風滿大的, 很有挑戰性...
我幾個禮拜前也有到後村堰飛場參觀, 超讚的!

哇！真的诶！下次有上來台北再密一下…
