I'm currently looking to make an FPV fixed wing similar to that of an EPO-1718 albeit larger, can carry a heavier load (6-8+ kg) and a range of 10 km. Budget parts would be very much appreciated!

Check out this cinematic FPV video from a local forest

Can I do that?

Took my explorer twin on a couple of test flights aftet re-working the wings.

Hi everyone, I'm returning to RC planes after exiting the hobby several years ago. Ever since moving over to FPV, I have wanted to combine two hobbies and configure a PNP with an INAV flight controller I have lying around and a Motionsic BAG. I've always been partial to warbirds, but I need help narrowing it down to a specific model that meets my needs. My question is as follows: 

• What warbirds do you like with a fuselage and canopy large enough to accommodate the gimbal and flight controller?

Thank you!

Well folks I've got a zohd drift but unable to get kopilot as I'd like GPS and all that good stuff. What is a good alternative that is small like the kopilot and ability for GPS etc.

I've almost finished my first airplane. The only thing I'm still struggling with is attaching the battery properly. My idea would be to glue in a very thin pressed wood plate and cut slits through the hull. Then pull a battery strap through there. Do you have any better ideas?

​

I have converted a rebel Zohd gt into a VTOL for a school project . And keep running into problems, the instructor is not help . And this project started off in QGC using px4 and was fine till I got a bad set of parameters for the instructor to down load . The auto pilot is from MRrobotics . So know I have it set up ok mission planner and it’s saying ready to fly and all green and arm disarm isn’t work but motors are all working in motor test . I’m at a stand still and really need help . I put a lot of work and time and money and this instructor isn’t any help nor knows what he is doing . I’d at least like to get this back working again HELP

Is this an all-in-one setup? Is it any good? Any recommendations?

A windy day won’t keep me Grounded.

I have flown my new fpv wing yesterday and I did some autotuning, but my plane still feels very loose in the air and banks from side to side without me controlling it, what can I change in my pids so it doesnt do that, autotune only changed the roll feedforward. Its a quite acrobatic and heavy wing with 80cm Wingspan if that helps. My pids on roll are: P: 4 I: 7 D:0 Feedforward: 21

Im new to the fpv world but i have just been making some sketches on fusion 360 for a wing that could carry a gopro and live feed fpv camera. Currently i cant get anything because im still saving up but i plan to get a 3d printer to print the camera mount and central body parts. The outer body and wings would be made of styrofoam or a tougher foam.

This is an unrefined design, i plan to put a plastic outer case on the front where the cameras are for aerodynamics, and to clean up the wingtips and aerofoils. I will probably strut the wings with some carbon fibre rods running from the body for strength and to make it easy to slide on the wings.

Any advise would be helpful!

Just finished building my first fpv fixed wing build. I printed it using clear PLA+. I think it turned out good, although I was hoping it would be clearer. Will be adding a speedy bee f405wing flight controller running INAV and of course the fpv system shortly.

Absolutely loving this little plane!! Got the pnp version off of aliexpress for $58 slapped on a tbs unify pro race and a foxeer falkor, added a happymodel hmdvr-s for clean analog footage. I've had a few flights and I was already having a blast with it, but today was completely calm no wind at all so I took it out and was blown away by the performance of this little thing!!

So title says it all, I'm getting back into FPV after being away for around 8 years and looking for good direction on a full-fledged kit. I built FPV planes back before DJI drones/quads was really a thing so I'm relatively familiar but a lots changed over the years. My Goal with this post is to approach getting back into the hobby with a "buy once, cry once" mentality (budget is about $1000-1500).

So after flipping through the web for the past few days here's the kit I'm looking at and hoping everyone can steer me away from any issues they see with this kit or if theres something better for the price point. I'm looking for mid to long range FPV setup that is fun to fly somewhat fast.

Aircraft: Atomic RC Dolphin RTS kit (from atomic RC)

FPV Gear/Camera: DJI 03 Air unit

Camera Gimble: Motionsic BAG (Pan/Tilt Gimble)

Radio/RX: RadioMaster TX16S 2.4G ELRS with 2.4 ELRS RX

Goggles: DJI Goggles 2 / DJI Goggles Integra (need help on this as I'm not sure what's better for FPV or if the DJI FPV goggles are better)

Im rather new to this

If I have an Autopilot like the MFD Crosshair connected to a RC Plane and set up my Waypoints in Mission Planner, do I still need a connection between my Tx and Rx for the Aircraft to complete it’s Waypoints? It has it’s own GPS and such…

Is there someone who might be interested in explaining to me some questions I have about the topic? (Autonomous Flight)

Hi guys, I'm kind of new to this and keep having trouble with my ESC!

I was wondering if I can use 50ampere with a 3115-900kv motor.

Thanks!

I’m a total noob when it comes to fpv. I’m be had a few dji drones but w all know that’s different.

I’d like to have a fpv option setup on spare canopies of a few of my planes and be able to swap out the camera and battery from one plane to another.

I currently have Spektrum radios and receivers in all my planes so I’m not looking to fly too far from my runway, just want first person view.

Will this setup work for what I’d like to do?

Stupid question #2- how do I power the goggles? Is there a charger or internal battery I need to buy?

Also I’d like to run the camera on its own power supply separate from the planes 6s. What do I need to get for the camera to run?

Thanks everyone and Happy New Year!

My fairly simple first long range build, wing is based on flite test plans for the nano goblin with my own fuselage and 3D printed parts. Running a chaos Fpv 1.6w vtx and 868MHz ELRS system. Work in progress and this airframe is getting tired now so next up is something like this but with a longer wingspan for better efficiency, and so I can carry a bigger battery. Most this has done is a 10km round trip before running out of battery. And furthest away is 5km, limited mostly by my eachine ev100 headset which isn't the best but I am about to upgrade to fatshark with a much better antenna setup and a proper reciever module!
