For insane FPV videos go to "Gabriel2584" and "nastycop420"
Costs:
FPV gear: approx. 600 Euro
Plane ready to fly: approx. 600 Euro
Costs altogether, with RC flight simulator, RC transmitter, charger, accus: approx 2000 Euro
Money you need at the beginning: 3000 Euro (crashs included)
But you need much time to be able to handle the technology.........
Testing the new setup.
12th and 13th FPV flight
Powering the FPV gear with the flight battery.
Ampere values maybe too low because of cold temperatures.
Recording with Canon MVX200i Mini DV PAL Camcorder
Deinterlacing with "Alparysoft Deinterlace" with "Cedocida DV Codec" and Virtual Dub
Editing with Ulead Videostudio 11
Compressing with Xvid, Single Pass, Quantizer 2, MP3 256 kps CBR
This is the best possible quality in my opinion (with this camera, transmitter setup)
Interference caused by the motor (horizontal black lines), but not dramatic
min. Transmitter voltage: 9,7 V, below that picture loss (happens at full throttle with an almost empty battery)
Setup:
Modified Multiplex Easystar:
Ailerons, Brushless motor, enlarged rudder (+ approx. 8 x 2cm)
Trimmed wings (1145 mm) and fins (to the rudders)
+5km/h
More induced drag at low speeds, gliders have long wings to reduce the induced drag
less aerodynamic drag at high speeds
IMPORTANT: Center of gravity approx. 70mm from leading edge (approx. 8mm moved to the front)
