I have already done that ( fpv drift car). Be blessed

FPV RC-Drift solo, Tandem and Train we done allready. Have to chase it with my TinyHawk next time. ;-)

I did that with my 5", so much fun! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rqiXY82HnMfRZ6M.html

yeh do it! i got to follow some drift cars with a cinewhoop xD was blowing the guys all over the place. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNh4h86Jv7K6dHk.html

WANNA SEE DRIFTING RC CARS !! Come take a look! Got some cool stuff.. Greetz # FGMADNESS !

my old Trex600 did FPV just fine back in the early 2000s. i used a monitor at the time though so i could transition quickly from from FPV to LOS and take off and land easily.

On flymentor autopilot 500size heli, great experience with a head-tracking fpv cam..here’s the awesome view from its cockpit /watch?v=-CZlLvsEIpo

just not worth the hassle tuning a heli.

kind of not the same.......your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to put the goggles on and then try fly that 700.

and a lot more unstable in the pocket

Tune has a lot to do with it, but it's also experience. The quads do SO much for you, weve gotten spoiled with all the tech. Helis had a gyro, often mechanical, and...that was it. If you can fly a helicopter, you can fly a quad but it's not necessarily the other way around. That said, you put a modern chipset on a heli and it becomes muuuuch easier to handle.

Heli's are inherently more stable. They are just much, much harder to control, especially the smaller you get. When you consider an unassisted quad/hex/octocopter vs an unassisted heli, then heli's much better.

Agreed, my beater 450 made from parts from 3 different helicopters flies much better.

I've been flying FPV for about 4 years . This is my t-rex 500x. It flies amazing . Thinking about doing a KZfaq video soonfacebook.com/scotty.mccoy.351/videos/3980098942042771/

That's hot

Would be cool, but Vomit Emoji

Done it, slope soaring FPV is a religious experience.

Also done it, and also DLG throw powered wings that are launched discus style, quite disconcerting the first time! Flight and landing is no issue at all.

@@chasew3947 god yes. Sailing on thermals, long flight, you forget you exist back on the ground.

I mean when the heli props dont spin there is no danger. They need like 10seconds to spin up and these motors have like 0.01Nm of torque

Lol. sounds worse than it is. Helicopters have a throttle hold and the props don't go from 0 to 10k rpm in an second lol.

@@bearlaceration8971 it's all good man... I think he was just joking about the flight end procedures. I don't think anyone disagrees it takes a lot more skill to fly a heli.

DaRoach5882 yeah I don’t understand what the big deal is. FPV has been around for ever. This isn’t new. Stick controls are identical. Whatever cool video regardless

@@jbw5485 Lol ... For us old folks , F.P.V. is still pretty new , however OUR first remote , was a string connected to a cox fueled airplane.lol... Back in the late 60's lol ( F.P.V. ,,, IS BASICALLY BRAND NEW ) to adults..lol

Richard Cerni 😑😑😑😑😑😑 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7OlasSikqmvl40.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h8Bxl7SGqMuWqmw.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZ-bpc6qr7WVfas.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJNxpLmTx8ytn30.html It’s been done successfully multiple times. A million times better than dribbles attempt in this vid. Move along.

jbw5485 Thanks for these links. I've seen the first one before. Great achievement. Extra credit will go to the last video though. That guy did a bit more than just fly circuits. The others are simple circuits. Don't get me wrong - I'm a heli flyer. I congratulate you and those others who've done it. I'm not going to try it - I'm VLOS flyer. But when I hear something like, "it's all been done before, to me that implies most people have attempted it and the fad has passed. In fact, the fad never took off. That's why I made my initial comment when I did. Cheers, and fly well.

Richard Cerni we’re both saying the same thing. Haha 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Right? I fly 100% better FPV than I ever did LOS. I wanted to be a pilot, and FPV gives me the ability to kinda do so. Also modern radios are SO much nicer than AM band radios... ugh, someone makes a hot pocket and my old plane would be going into the trees.

It would be funny to also have a motor spinning it around that is controlled by the throttle.

Greg Toews ikr? I bought one awhile back and couldn’t even get the thing to hover never mind actually fly... I just assumed it was defective in some way and gave up...

@@travispratt6327 My first five or so drones were helis - back before quads existed - and they flew really easily. Wasn't 3D - heck, most of them were only 2 channel - but they flew quite nicely.

Vousie V Well that’s not how a real helicopter pilot flies a helicopter... I was referring to collective pitch 6ch helis that are more like how a pilot has to fly, and I’m sure op was too. I’m not sure exactly how how hard they are to fly because I never got mine to fly right, it was always like trying to stand and balance on top of an exercise ball. I did have multiple regular 3ch helis though and they’re easy and simple, basically they’re flying for you with gyro stabilization, a collective pitch 6ch 3D heli is more like a quad in acro mode, center the sticks and it won’t hover, it will just keep flying wherever it was flying, but in my experience the quad is much more predictable and stable. You control the speed of rotation of pitch yaw and roll, then on top of that have to do throttle and blade pitch. It’s by far the most challenging rc experience I’ve had, and I fly 100mph+ rc planes and do real estate videos with a dji phantom gimbal drone.

​@@travispratt6327 Yes, I know how 6ch helis fly. My point is that just because it's an RC helicopter doesn't mean it's always difficult to fly. You get different types of helis. Also, the helis I had didn't have actual gyros - this was back in 2006 when gyros were too expensive to put in toys. They literally just had a physical balance bar on the main rotor. By the way, if you can fly 100mph RC planes, then DJI Phantom is really just nothing. Those things are so overly controlled by computer algorithims that I sometimes wonder whether it even really counts as you "flying" them - it's more like the algorithm is flying it and you just give it a general direction you want it to go in.

Vousie V My dji can be controlled like that but that’s not how I use it, I simultaneously use throttle, yaw and gimbal to frame shots while I’m moving is one of the more challenging things with the dji. It’s easy to fly but it’s hard to manipulate to get desired results was my point with that. As for toy grade copters, ya I know they can be easy but nobodies talking about those toy helicopters, they’re talking about 6ch helicopters that simulate a real helicopter, there’s no 2 or 3ch manned helicopters that I’m aware of, he said he’s respectful of helicopter pilots, I wouldn’t consider someone pushing up on a 2ch toy heli a helicopter pilot.

done that,, on sonic wake,,, and old k&b tunnel hull,,, water isn't to friendly to vtx ,, can keep it dry but gets hot and burns up,,, only used cheap vtx though ... put it old nitro savage 4x4 that was cool

English channel

water cool the VTX. not a big deal. just like water cooling an electric boat's esc.

Just outorotate

lance vanvelzen that’s what I fly, and I’ve asked that so many times.

@@angelisfpv hopefully now they actually do it

Raz Taz exactly. Don’t know what their deal was. Poorly set up heli

Here is your problem....LOL, it's a fucking BLADE!

OMG, it's Drip's heli. Problem #2

@@jbw5485 Maybe just because it was a 450 size?

Nander0 true. Most of the really nice fpv stuff is with much larger helis.

I've put a camera on a 3D plane and flew it around last year, just to see, if it would be possible. With a fixed camera, all you see most of the time, is the sky, because of the high alpha :D But I'm experimenting with the head-tracker. Sadly, my first attempt (a Fokker D VII) grew too heavy with the FPV-gear.

If I couldn't fly fpv helicopters I wouldn't fly at all. This is my 500x. I've been flying fpv for about 4 years.

rxsr for everything

Thanks Shawn for helping make this episode possible! Always a pleasure to have you on set! -Drew

You would have to have a love for helicopters, otherwise it would be a frustrating venture. But once you master a collective pitch heli, its like a diploma, or certificate to be proud of. I keep mine on display when I am not flying it, lol. But quite rewarding, trust me.

did you FPV a heli yet?

@flat-earther haha.. no I haven't yet. That copter kept losing connections when I try hard pitch pumps and falls out of the sky.
