ReadyMadeRC Pan/Tilt GoPro Mount

The EasyStar feels like a brick now and is no acrobat in the sky with this load. However, it carries it and maneuvers much better than I expected. I have no plane mod's other than putting bi-di tape strips along the top and bottom of each wing and tail for adding strength. I actually have been able to pull off a loop.. I just have to dive a bit first.

Why ground and signal wire from OSD to RX? Why not just signal. For example if you run an external BEC, you pull the + & - pins out and just use signal in the EST plug. Why wouldn't this work from OSD to RX?

did a fast low pass with my epp fpv it was fun

go fast with EPP FPV High speed low pass (2 min 25 sec)

I'm having this pulsing problem with my motor. It was working fine for about five minutes, and then this happened. It should be drawing a steady 26amps at the time, but it keeps dropping down to 21amps and then going up again. Here is the equipment list:

Hobby King EPP FPV
Turning 3536-1400kv motor
Turnigy 55A ESC

The ESC is inside the plane. Could it be overheating? I still had plenty of juice left in the battery.

What battery did you used, esc low voltages soft cut off ??

The battery is a Turnigy 3S 20-30C 5000mAh. The voltage cutoff is at 3.2V/cell

Here is my setup esc out side max power 70amp on a 50 amp FMS esc no more over heating That was a leftover esc from my junk box add a heatsink from computer 

EPP FPV setup (1 min 3 sec)

williamjames,

It was the motor esc set up i had.
NTM 35-36A 1800kv (overkill)
60A ESC (too small)
And it was inside, got hot!


I went to motor and ESC /w stand alone BEC set outside 10x6 prop dosnt get hot

I was only 600m out so it couldn't have been loss of signal.

Hey williamjames

What radio were you using on your skywalker?

I crashed mine on saturday, I was lucky to find it !

EPP FPV CRASH (2 min 45 sec)

wow so many planes crashing of late! all hardware failures! what servos you using?? perhaps a radio failure, when u upside down the antenna had better coverage perhaps??


Hey when you guys built your planes did you use CA, epoxy or hot glue?? Im debating.

I use brand new HS81 !
I think it's the EPP around the hardware

I use CA glue / epoxy / special foam

im making mods to my hk epp fpv
some are listed on this sight
im also make mods to the mods listed here
and some not listed here
i will post them in a week or 2 with the pics of the mods when im done doing them

i have tested the plane without the mods its ok but can use some mods

and let me ask what is better 2.4 or 900mhz fpz video system and why u think so
( my 2.4 burnt up and im looking to get a new system )

[QUOTE=osprey;19244638]

900Mhz is technically a better frequency because it should handle obstructions better, but that only helps if you fly low. However, depending on where you fly, you could run into different types of interference for each of these frequencies. 2.4 is nice if you're going to attach a CP antenna, because they are small, while the 900Mhz CP is enormous. Then again, if you're flying at a club, chances are there's going to be a ton of other 2.4 radios which could cause you problems.

Personally, I think I'm going to switch to 1.3 from 900. it's a good in-between frequency.
