Simple conversion of this fantastic scale Super Decathlon using a 3D printed pan/tilt gimbal and DJI Digital FPV. First test flight so I flew line of sight (LOS) while Daryn (Mr iActiveRC) wore the FPV goggles. Successful flight so look out for me actually flying this FPV for the first time soon...
I used a FeeTech 2 kg/cm Digital Servo Motor FT90M for its 280 degree panning ability. Google for a local supplier.

I am 73, and remember making model airplanes when i was 13. (never got any to fly well). Amazing the progress. unbelievable actually. but we still had fun, even tho practically every flight was a crash. we would fix em over and over till they just fell into pieces. we tore our fingers up trying to start em. I miss the smell of the glue.

@@Rick_Retired model airplanes today are so wonderful. you must have enjoyed every advance along the way. Well motorcycles came along and that is why i think i quit them. but in 1989 i fell into a deep depression, and thought what would the thirteen me do if he had the resources that the 1989 me had. So i went out and bought a Guillos balsa model. I made it and it turned out wonderful, so i wound up the rubber bands and they broke. I went to the hobby shop and bought an .049 engine battery and fuel, took it out to the area beyond the airport and it made a wonderful flight in about a quarter mile diameter. The second flight it took off climbed and slamed into the sand. messed up the motor. i shed my depression, and still have the motor, tho it sucked in sand and scored the piston. got bummed out a couple of years ago and made another rubber powered plane, but it is too pretty to fly, and i just like to look at and remember how to loose depression.

I grew up with my grandpa building and flying model airplanes. I'm 40 years old now but I remember when I was really young when he first started getting into the hobby, they would fly them on a sort of string system and you would kind of spin around with them slowly on a really long wire or string. does anyone know what I am talking about? it would have been in the 80s to early 90s. I remember the whole family going out to a park to watch him fly one day and the plane somehow either broke off or lost control and just so happen to hit a powerline and the explosion was insane!. everyone's power in the near area went out and the transformer or whatever it is exploaded. Lets just say.... we got out of there really fast...lol defiantly a great childhood memory of mine. Does anyone remember that style of model airplane?

@MarinusMakesStuff Жыл бұрын

My only advice would be to cover the entire inside with matte black paint to make sure there are no internal reflections. Camera lenses also have this to avoid internal reflections. If you manage to make it dark enough you will definitely have a much clearer view. Another tip would be to use tinted windows and add a small lip that sticks out to block the sun and block even more reflections. A lip could be designed in such a way that it is like a spoiler, blocking light but letting air pass through without changing the flow characteristics too much.

Fantastic! That takes me back to my days flying RC at an overseas US military base. You achieved what I nearly did 20 years ago, but you did it with much better equipment than I had. I was flying a 1/4 scale J3 Cub that I had modified with a flat windscreen a lot like your Super Decathlon. I also designed a pan & tilt mechanism for it but never got the chance to build it. The plane flew quite nicely on an 18-cell NiMH pack and was powered by a kit-built German designed motor, but it was such a handful to fly I couldn't fly it and look through the goggles at the same time. My cheapie camera also had a narrow field of view giving me a pronounced sense of tunnel vision, and the video link back to the pilot often broke up as the plane changed direction. Flying into the sun also tended to blind the camera and when I did get good video the resolution wasn't as good as yours. About all I could really do was tape the video onto a camcorder and look at it afterwards. Unfortunately, the events of 9/11/2001 put the base on lock-down and forced an early end to my FPV experiments. But I did prove the concept at least.
