Come on now, if you are a guy and have ever imagined flying in a fighter jet, which I think every guy has one time or another, then this is for you😉

Foreal I bought a 3D printer and started printing my own fpv drones, cars, planes, robots. It's so fun!

Perhaps, you were sometimes looking for RC car, ship or airplane content, then the algorithm choose one of the best for you hehe 😊

@@tac-cobserver3788 I did watch lots of RC helicopter videos when KZfaq first came out, but I stopped flying those in 2008 or so.

@@chrisdavisunofficial whoa that's cool bro 🤙

They make a air combat sys for planes. It works on IR light. The guys over at FlightTest showed it awhile back.

The problem is that they’re too expensive to replace if the bbs damage it so lasers are the best option for now

@@GODOFLIQUOR what about like a paint ball or chalk that would mark it

It has already been done… can’t find where but I’ve seen it!

@@GODOFLIQUOR you have paint bbs. Expensive but you have them!

Great time to get back in the hobby😉

That’s the whole appeal to flying RC planes. Less cost and risk but retain most of the fun of flying full scale, if not more so. Since we get to do aerobatics, formation and dogfights, which most GA pilots don’t get to do.

The only difference is that all physics are sped up by some factor because of the smaller scale. If you slow down the footage by some amount, then it would appear to fly the same as a large plane.

@@orderlyhippo1569 Astute observation! We either develop faster reaction times or need to fly bigger planes🙂

I find your statement crazy tbh

@@blameusa7082 Yeah, what a weird observation.

Looking forward to your F-14 setup! Still my most favorite jet of all time - F-5E follows closely behind. Both with classy, timeless lines!

Analog FPV remained pretty primitive until 3 years ago. Then Digital FPV brought crystal clear, noise free pictures. Which offers enough clarity to make dog fight and formation flights possible.

@@motionsic Incredible! 💥

Watch FPV drone footage and races then, it will really blow your mind

little History Lesson from me: First-Person-Vision (FPV) -Flight was done in the 90 too but miniature Cameras and Videotransmitters were hella expensive back then, ranging in about 2k$ for a Set. with the advent of cheap and tiny wireless Video surveillance Cameras, Keychain-cameras etc in the mid 2000 people started to hack these devices and put them on RC Planes. It was an incredible fun time until somewhere 2012 when all these Drones ruined it. But 2011 was when it all Peaked with Trappy recording and uploading his incredible Stunts and long distance or high altitude Records done by others.

FPV boomed with small drones around 2011, because frames were in carbon and so strong (still have mine of 2013 bought from a Canadian guy on RCgroups). You just had to buy lots of props since they were brittle as hell lol. Chinese competion for the real hype did the rest of lowering mass and volume of components.

Great insight on wake turbulence and tip vortices on interplay between aspect ratio, speed, AOA, and induced drag. So basically this flight was conducted with almost the worst conditions. I will have try this again with higher speeds for comparison. I suppose with high aspect wings, low wing loading on bipes, and most likely engine going wide open, WW 1 planes in dogfight Would be at the opposite end of the spectrum for effect of wake turbulence. So the adage should hold true! Thank you for the great lesson! I really appreciate it🙏😁. Now I need to try and find a WWI model.

@@motionsic WW1 would also be very cool to see, especially at larger scale. But pick a calm, zero-wind day if possible.

Hear, hear! May the best dogfighter win!

Yeah. Easy to implement to. Makes each RC plane dual use; can be flown conventionally or from the cockpit like flying a real plane!

@@motionsic plz make a video explaining how and how to start fast :P

I don’t get why people thjnk it’s lame. You literally get as close as possible to flying Jets and space crafts. In fact you can’t do this stuff in real Jets

@@simba00784 How is the latency with those head tracked cameras?

​@@simba00784this isn't as good as sim for some people

Indeed!

It is indeed, almost like being in the cockpit!

Thanks for the encouragement! I will try to do new things and offer useful findings to make new videos worthwhile for your attention. That’s my aim. Cheers!

Wow, thanks! Will share some more videos for your enjoyment.

Thanks for the sub, cheers!

Thanks, cheers!

The appeal nowadays is one can fly a high performance plane like this for far cheaper and literally no build time🙂

Yay! Glad to meet someone that had the same idea as I did. And thousands of people are now flying this way with their RC planes. It's very popular among full scale pilots since it's cost effective and low risk to fly aerobatics, formation and even dogfight that they don't normally get a chance to practice.

so he's on the ground dlying it remote controlled? How is the camera moving around like he's in the vehicle?

@@jeffr3773 He has a FPV camera in the cockpit. idk what the camera is called exactly but he is wearing a headset that allows him to see through the camera in the airplane. And yes it is a remote controlled airplane which makes it so unique and fun!

😂

This is probably the most fun activity nerds love that appeals to everyone else, too😉

Thanks! The Viper 90 is indeed a versatile and stable airframe that does well even in wind. This video was taken when wind was nearly calm so it was very smooth.

Thanks. I do try to fly as realistically as possible.

IKR, If I had better instrument panel, would have tricked you even longer🙂

Thanks, cheers!

On it!

Thanks Ken! Gotta watch out for “jet wash” when doing close formation😉

😂

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks, cheers!

Glad you liked it. More to come.

Looking forward to seeing you make it happen🙂

Indeed, the new perspective makes RC plane/vehicles dual use, both FPV and LOS. Makes formation flying and dogfights realistic. And opens up a whole new world of training material from full scale flying applicable!

Thanks for watching and sub, cheers!

I use premium servos in my gimbal design and also excellent head-tracker: Motionsic BAG - BadAss Gimbal fpvdogfight.com/products/motionsic-b-a-g-badass-gimbal Tally-ho Head-tracker fpvdogfight.com/products/tally-ho-head-tracker

Thanks your for watching and the kind compliment. Cheers!

Thanks for the encouragement. It’s not dangerous if following formation rules. Just a bunch of fun without risk to life and limb!

@@motionsic 😆👍🤘 brilliant 🤝

Worthy pursuit😁

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! The fun & thrill of flying a real aircraft but at a fraction of the cost and risk of flying inside a full scale plane.

I agree🙂

Then we have done something right. It’s for the child or teenager that grew up with original Top Gun as their favorite movie🙂

Thanks! It takes time and experience to build up skill level to fly these. Be patient and start out with prop planes and work your way up. It would be more economical over the long run.

Thanks, I try to fly them like real ones!

That might be true for war, but dogfighting for fun is just getting started😉

@@motionsic yessir!

Of course it’s a game, an analog one!

Not legal on public land. Need private field to do this.

I agree🙂

Thanks for your interest and sub, cheers!

I do sell a kit that allow experienced RC flyers to build their own FPV jet. It’s pretty easy actually. Look in the descriptions. Here are the FPV equipment I use: DJI Digital FPV Goggles: www.getfpv.com/dji-fpv-goggles-v2.html DJI Digital FPV Air unit fpvdogfight.com/products/dji-digital-fpv-air-unit-by-caddxfpv Motionsic BAG - BadAss Gimbal fpvdogfight.com/products/motionsic-b-a-g-badass-gimbal Tally-ho Head-tracker fpvdogfight.com/products/tally-ho-head-tracker

Yeah, pretty amazing isn’t it!

Thanks! It’s a functional simplified miniature reflector sight scaled down from WW II originals with similar optics. See fig. 1: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflector_sight

Haha, thanks!

I agree!

Thanks! Me too!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed them!

Thank you!

Yep! Agree with your assessment. They lead this by a couple of decades.

Probably Alien SpaceShip RC’s

Indeed it is fun flying with friends in collaborative play!

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it!

@jessemathis9212 simulating: airmodel with camera. I meant in my language

Thanks for the encouragement! I took a full scale glider flight this past summer. It’s amazing how similar my FPV flying, especially dead-stick landing, is to that flight. I think I will show that footage next😉

@@motionsic That is really cool to hear how similar it feels. I remember how realistic your FPV flight of the Avios Spitfire looked - flying realistic turns when seeing from the cockpit. I will get into this for sure one day, but small children and many hours at work mean I'll have to stick my small models for now... But seeing yours and others videos keep me motivated!

@@avipatable hear, hear! I took a 18 year break from flying RC for the same reasons. Your time will come. Respect for getting your priorities straight!

@@motionsic Thank you, yes you know the story! :) Channels like yours and RCScaleairplanes, and the RC Scalebuilders website keep me going for now... a 1/4 scale Jerry Bates Hawker Tempest is the dream one day!

Huh? The point of using the Reflector sight is to correct for parallax - the reticle stays on target despite view angle change (from head movement). It’s parallax free🙂
