FPV RC Jet Precision Landing Drills Using Head Tracker & Reflex Sight 🎯📐🛬

Practice FPV precision landings/touch & go's flying a RC EDF (electric ducted fan) jet in traffic pattern using full scale training methods with the aid of a head tracker and a reflector sight. Head tracking FPV allows the RC pilot to fly from the immersive perspective inside the cockpit to look around as if he were inside a full scale plane cockpit. Reflector sight gives pilot a precise attitude reference against the horizon and good approximation of flight path at medium speed or higher. An excellent tool for landing approach and flare.
Additionally, runway geometry (the trapezoidal shape) was used to determine whether one is too high, too low or on glide slope during final approach to landing: • Gauge FPV Landing Glid...

They do have airspeed sensors for FrSky and Spektrum receivers. You can program transmitter to have airspeed readout. To get airspeed on screen display in the goggles, you will need to install a flight controller as well. Something I am learning to do….

@motionsic Жыл бұрын

Details in the description. A head-tracker senses head orientation and inputs the the signals to RC transmitter via trainer function which then control the gimbal onboard aircraft to move the camera. The head-tracker and gimbal are plug and play, just need two spare channels on RC transmitter and receiver.

Subscribing just now for more! Awesome experience, great job! That is definetly a goal for scale RC modeling. I had some experience with Eachine Goggles a few years ago before I stopped flying, nothing much though. I rember I dind't have the image that clear, different from the vídeo reccorded direct to the SD Card in the cam, wich had good quality. Is this quality we're watching here the same you have live from the Goggles? Any delays at all?

@motionsic Жыл бұрын

Yes. The live view quality is pretty much the same as this. Delay or latency is not perceptible, around 30ms according to spec.

That was awesome. You've got great skills man. Any tip on how not to stall this viper flying FPV on a maiden? I have FMS Viper 90 (non US version), and looking forward to maiden flight once I get DJI O3 Air Unit.

@motionsic Жыл бұрын

Best tip, is not to set your flap deflections too much. Half flaps is about 15° and full flaps is around 30°. That will give you plenty of time to flare even at idle throttle. Also setup a little reflex on aileron (half trailing edge thickness up). If you have separate channels for aileron, you can setup crow (see @TwoBrosRC for his high alpha setup). Setup your camera so horizon evenly splits the screen on the ground. And have top of dash in view so you can intuitively use that against horizon for attitude reference. Taxi around a bit to get used to the view before maiden flight. Use 50% throttle or more for cruise flight. Whenever throttle is lower than 50%, be ware not to raise nose above horizon. On landings, keep 25%-30% on approach until you have the runway made.

Fantastic flying. Great video. I have completed my E-flight T-28 with HT gimbal (self designed and built) using a Caddx Vista nano-pro and all ground testing is complete and I'm ready to fly. I have chosen to not add a flight controller yet but may in the future to get all the relevant telemetry in my goggles. Questions: -Do you use any type of flight stabilization gyros? -You mentioned in another video that you use very tame rates for fpv flying. Would you care to elaborate a little on percentages from the manufactures recommendations for control throws? From a happy subscriber, Thanks!

@motionsic Жыл бұрын

Thanks. Regarding flight stabilization, I use Fly Eagle A3Super3 on the Viper, no stabilization in the E-flite T-28. About the rates, I always start with the linkages, by moving them to the outer most hole on the surface horn, and closest to the inner most hole on servo horn while still being able to reach manufacturers recommended throws by increasing the servo travel (end point adjustment). This provides the maximum resolution with least slop and best mechanical leverage (least torque required from servo). I then adjust the high rate and low rates based on flight experience from the cockpit. Moving from LOS to FPV flying, a good rule of thumb is from 100% to 70%, but I usually end up using even lower rates for FPV, especially for formation flying. But I switch back to to high rates for landing or low speed maneuvering.

@BigDaddyI1I Жыл бұрын

@@motionsic Great info. Thanks for sharing your knowledge & experience. I'll play around with a third rate position to address full elevator travel for landing specifically. -Follow up question, do you employ a flap/elevator mix? (typically used in LOS flying when flaps are deployed) I have flown a dozen aircraft but the T-28 will be the first with flaps.

@motionsic Жыл бұрын

@@BigDaddyI1I T-28 will need flaps to down elevator mix or it will pitch up when dropping flaps. The Viper does not need the mix.

Are you able to do a slip? They do come in handy from time to time.

@motionsic 4 ай бұрын

Yes. A slip is handy if approach is too high. But I normally approach carrying a bit of power, so shallower than no power approach glide slope. So normally a slip is not needed. But for sure slip would be handy in a dead stick situation🙂

@@motionsicDo you think it would be possible to improve the cockpit view in the future..? I'm not an expert in digital technologies, but the idea would be to benefit from the head-up vision (HUD) by piloting your RC device, as if you were playing this view in a flight simulator. Although having adapted a rotating camera instead of the pilot in coordination with the virtual helmet is already a genius idea. I think referential assistance set either in the helmet view or in the cockpit of the aircraft would be a plus. Hoping that the interpretation of my vision is understandable to you..

@JackD-ru2gf 10 ай бұрын

@@motionsicNot only am I convinced that this concept of RC flight will become more popular, but also that it will be technologically predominant in the future, as it is much more immersive and precise than visual control from the ground. Perhaps there will even be enthusiasts experienced enough in this field to establish acrobatic patrols or races, as is already done with drones.
