  1. Head tracked FPV just got easier with the new FPV Goggles L and GM series gimbals from Caddx. Previously it has required a separate head tracking unit fixed to the side of the FPV goggles and plugged into the radio transmitter trainer port to send the head movements to the receiver which sent the signals to a pan servo and a tilt servo in a 3D printed gimbal holding the FPV camera in the cockpit.

    The on board footage is great, please can you let me know which / what camera you are using?

     

    Yeah...that was Insta360 Go2 which has now been superseded by the Go3, which I also have but don't have a superlight mount for it yet.

    Very impressive - a few more models like that and I might be tempted to revisit  model airshows again.....just curious, but the oscillation of the tailerons both when on the deck and during the take of roll during the slow mo sequences is very noticeable - just part of the control systems MO, presumably?

    It's a characteristic of some digital servos when there is no load on the control surface. They are constantly trying to centre. It disappears with airflow applying load when it starts to move. It's not a problem but can be stopped by adding a small bit of fluffy sticky back velcro to the side of the fuselage so the control surface has a bit of resistance. It's what I've done on a 35% Extra because with 4 servos doing it it can be an annoying noise.

  4. Has been a long time since I filmed at a Large Model Association Show so I drove 4 hours up to Elvington for their penultimate show of the season. Well worth it. Some superb flying over the 2 days I was there starting with this F-14 Tomcat flown by Steve Kilbon.

  5. Top weekend at Old Warden Aerodrome ModelAir event supporting Stuart and Andreis from HobbyKing. Flew several times with 12 year old Finn attempting to do some half decent formation flying with the new Avios Super Tucano that's coming out in August.

     

     

     

  6. I had a super 2 days supporting Stuart and Andries from HobbyKing who had both come over from Holland for the event. Brilliant zero stress atmosphere all weekend with lots of club type glow, diesel, petrol and electric flying and credit for that down to Gavin and his colleagues tirelessly running the RC flight line ensuring everything was safe and efficient. For me it could only be improved by bringing the RC related vendors like HobbyKing and MicroAces up to that part of the site. 

  7. Tyler Perry's 1st flight of Ramy RC's Giant 149KG XXL C-17 Globemaster at Airliner Meeting 2024. Tyler flies in less than ideal conditions on the first day (i.e. Friday) of the Airliner Meeting Show. There was a 15mph cross wind but that didn't stop him from getting this big quad EDF powered jet into the air.

     

    This unique EDF jet was constructed by Ramy RC in Atlanta, United States and shipped to Oppingen, Germany just for this event. It weights 149KG and is powered by 4 200mm EDFs running on 14S. The maximum pack capacity used per EDF is 17000mah.  Wingspan is 6.4 meters (21 ft), length is 6.35 meters (20.9 ft).
