One thing I noticed flying FPV planes under the row of tables at my local RC field is that faster is better because there's less time for the wind to affect you and less time for pilot error. If you're going fast and it's lined up it'll make it, because you have no time to react before you hit whether you're going slow or fast, you have to stay ahead of the airplane.

Enjoy watching all your videos with all the cool new stuff coming out. Back in the day me and my friend used to play our gas powered planes through the hay barn as we pretended to dogfight but they didn't have this new technology. Yes we occasionally crashed one time we forgot to check to make sure the barn doors were open on both ends because Grandpa had closed it so we spent the next several days repairing a barn door that was damaged by the airplane crashing into it

The real tunnel is much wider in comparison to the wing span of the red bull pkane. It looked about 3:1 to me. Whereas the width of the shipping container in comparison to the wing span of the first two models looked about 2:1 so more difficult in my opinion, well done!

@ModelLights Жыл бұрын

OK, I think you might be missing how to do this. First, how to do it from flying 'outside the plane'. Situate yourself on the center line, at about the center height. Have a white, visible target on the centerline, well past the tunnel. Bring the plane in from off line near you, into line, and fly away from you. Simply keep the plane in line with the white target in the distance, until you're through the tunnel. Second, how to do it from FPV. Put a center dot in front of the camera, adjust it until that dot is where you fly to in the distance at normal flying settings. Come down far enough away from the tunnel to square up, then put the center dot on the distant white target and fly to the target, until you get through the tunnel. You don't really need the white center target in the distance, just pick a visual point beyond the tunnel that's in the right location and fly to it. Trying to fly by and react to the side visual close references is the problem, just pick a distant reference to keep you on line and fly smoothly and you'll hardly ever have a problem. You should hardly even realize the obstruction is there, it effectively isn't there as long as you stay on line to the distant target. Main point is your chance of success is far higher if you figure out and pick your visual distant target before you enter. If you don't have some point you're consciously flying toward you're far more likely to react or drift off line and crash.

You should also glue the plane back together with no replacement parts and see if it still flies as well. It would also show the repairablity of the eclipson

I had the same problem with the scout. I took the landing gear off and flew it and a few time the firewall just breaks off even with tape and glue. I would just make sure to cut the throttle right before you land and to pull up on landing!

Use fiberglass reinforced tape (the kind with stripes), and also run an extra bead of glue on the inside where the firewall meets the foam, smearing it to get lots of contact surface. It'll be plenty strong, now you'll break props or motor shafts. 😝

@jeffrenman4146 Жыл бұрын

looks like fun… Do you think instead of trying to slow down you should've entered those containers wide open I think this would compensate for the wind because once you hit the containers the aircraft has different conditions inside because the wind is being blocked… Should went wide open I thought. Plus here inside the tunnel for less time and less corrections
