John Sheehy Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I've just had my first successful FPV flight using one LiPo for flying the plane and one for the video Tx. This worked fine but the plane struggles to gain height because of the weight on board. I'm told if I use the same LiPo for both I'll need a filter. Does anyone know where I can get such a filter? I've been chasing the dream of FPV flying for two years and I couldn't be more pleased (unless I had the filter ). Couldn't land in FPV mode as there were trees to negotiate and it was too risky but the future is rosy now. thanks in advance, John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Could you use a UBEC, after all they are used to supply the Rx in an electric plane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Sheehy Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 They are usually 5 or 6 volts and I need 12.I saw a gadget which transformed voltage up or down to 12 volts. I see now what it's for. I just can't remember where I saw it, or what it's called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
