post 4712
can anybody please get back to my post 4712 and try to make sense of the figures about the total weight of the plane with the gear?
thanks |

Reinforced my batteries and Radian bay velcro using the good velcro.

The wind calmed down a bit and I managed to get one flight in. Pretty choppy but I can see that this is going to be real simple, fun, long flight flying. I like it.

As promised here is a FPV video from my UMX Radian.

Cool video !!
What surprised me , was how far away that package allowed you to fly from the base-station !! A) What's the absolute Max range for the UMX receiver ? (i have a DX 7s) B) What's the absolute Max range for your FPV unit ? Thanks : Bille |

Honestly I am not sure max range of the plane yet, don't plan on finding out. I hear it's not awesome. The video range on a good day not a lot of interference is 1/2mile on 200mw with my receiver setup. I am pretty sure that will exceed the range of the radio. I have video of even farther flying than the video above. I would say I was about 1200 feet out at max. |

amazing video
thank you for the video. best way to show if something works. and sure it does! 1st climb 1:30 minutes, then 1:15 glide. i could not imagine the plane could do so well. and the extra weight (about 50%) sure helps flying in windy weather too, so that is an extra bonus.
and still you can catch it. as i have 1 rad without gyros, it could be the ideal candidate for the gear, as the extra weight will help to stabilize it. now, could i use the gear that goes into the plane with a screen instead of the goggles? i have other components that weigh about the same, and use screen, that's why i ask. and having tried goggles before, am more inclined to use screen instead. again, congratulations for the achievement. another way to use this magnificent, versatile design. |

If it's any comparison, I've had my sport cub s2 out almost 1/4 mile before losing signal. Got it back, but it was sketchy for a bit there. That was with FPV of course or I wouldn't be able to see that tiny plane that far away. I hear you can bend the antenna up away from the all in one board to get better reception also, but haven't tried it. Don't want to cut open the plane unless I have to. If I want to go farther I'll use a bigger plane and receiver anyways.
