RoboBiggles and his multi-national crew, fly the B17

FPV maiden of the HobbyKing B17 "Ye Olde Pub".
To skip the intro tour of the aircraft, go to 1 minute for the flying sequences.
Set-up for those interested:
Pilot cam is a Mobius 1 on a lens extension cable. Navcam and turretcam are 808 #16 v3s - also on lens extensions. Waist cam is another 808 #16 v3 on a long lens extension, but does not transmit inflight - just records a fixed aspect video. The 3 transmitting cams can be switched by the pilot inflight using a HobbyKing 3 way video switch.
The rotating turret was designed for 3d printing by Tom Hunt, and printed for me by Tom Connors. I also made one of Tom Hunt's fully functioning ball turrets with live-feed camera. It was excellent - better than the top turret, but I had to abandon it to stay below the UK's critical weight limit of 3.5kg, exceeding which would have meant I had to lose head-tracking to allow a buddy pilot to use the trainer port.
I did a video on wiring up the cameras and camera switch, which you can even use on a plane that you fly normally (LOS). Here is a link for those interested.

I've just come over from the Model Squadron - all of your videos hold me fascinated and spellbound. Thank you so much. I grew up around De Havaland's (later Hawker Sidley) in the late 50s and 60s. My Dad was a project engineer so I recon you can tell how much I am in awe of your efforts. Regards Tony Sadler South Wales uk.

That was amazing, with the right sound track you would almost think it was real, thanks for the time and skill put in.

Thanks I appreciate that. Try my B17 formation flying video for realistic sounds. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d76grMuBvbjZgqM.html Had a few comments this week so I guess it's been reposted somewhere - can I ask where you saw the link? I'm curious about where it has been reposted since it has had so much interest!

remarkable build to take a foamy to this level of detail. Ribs and all, very impressive built! Then to risk this level of detail and commitment to an FPV flight. Hat off to you sir!

Absolutely brilliant! The attention to detail, even the wiring bundles is amazing! Reminded me so much of my ride in the late 909, some years ago... 😇

Great job! You are the KING of interior detail and video quality! You should sell complete packages of finished aircraft, as they are the best I've seen. Can you list your goggles and video transmitter? I am assuming that was live streaming video, as you were flying from the cockpit... I would love to have that video quality. Any chance of posting instructions for hooking up the Mobius lens?

@johnlancaster1960 6 жыл бұрын

This may be what you want Richard - the Mobius goes into the third port (unused in this video) on the Turnigy switch. The lens extension cables used can be bought from any registered Mobius or 808 reseller and are simply plug and play with the stock lens. Unplug the lens plug in the extension, then plug the lens in on the other end of the extension. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nL1njcR_0ryrf30.html

Use a 360 camera so viewer's can scroll around and look at anything we want the entire flight 🤔🙄 That would be awesome Although it was pretty dang cool ✌️
