Dom (Essential RC) Posted August 3, 2023 Author Share Posted August 3, 2023 I used the new compact Radiomaster Pocket radio together with one of the new Radiomaster ER6G ELRS receivers. Super easy to setup. I'm going to fly with a few models before I give my view on it compared to the TX16S...but so far it's perfect for simple models like this hand launch XFly SU-27. Small monochrome non-touch sensitive screen so more suited to simple EdgeTX model setup. Obviously less switches than the TX16S so more suited to simpler fixed wing models anyway. Main user difference is the trim sticks. Threw me the first time I used them. Had to look down but easy enough once you try. Only $65 with EdgeTX pre-installed and with ELRS protocol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom (Essential RC) Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 A highlight from Popham Model Show...sounds even better than a radial. Magnificent Kolm engineering... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Smith 1 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) Great video on the vintage aircraft in June, Dom. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would want to be the guy spinning the prop to start though! 😅 Edited September 8, 2023 by Adrian Smith 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Stephenson Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I thought it was probably a function of YT but I always wondered why the originator of the vid couldn't make it run on longer so that the clutter wouldn't cover the interesting content. In other words, have a blank few seconds at the end where the clutter can go without getting in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just forgot to do it this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom (Essential RC) Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 Our second flight trying to fly a bit of formation. I'll be converting the other Red Arrows to head tracked FPV very soon. Will make it easier for the lead pilot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu knowles Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 There was a vid doing the rounds a few years ago of a scale German WW2 three engines seaplane flying alongside a MPX Twinstar, both FPV equipped. Even though it was the early days of FPV they were very good at flying in formation and station keeping. (Goodness knows how much practice they had had). Your vids show lots of promise, I guess that you will be removing the canopy hoop to give you a better field of view? I have always thought that FPV flying with fixed wing would be a very popular extension to the hobby but it hasn't really caught on. Please keep posting your vids and let us know what equipment you find best to use. Wishing you success! Stu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
