Did you put LG on your 100" wing yet bsbauman?

BTW
bsbauman
Your wing is really cool! What is your power system going to be?
Im just curious, how old are you? You are flying the plane right? Im 18.

I am not sure which one you are referring to; but I have one 48" Ele-Bee2 from Windrider that is powered by a Scorpion 2212-1920kv. I fly it with 7.5 in props on 3s and smaller props on 4s, both stay under 25amps

My 100" Queen Bee is powered by a Scorpion 4025-12- 440kv, this is swinging a larger 16.5 inch folding prop. A few nagging mods were made to allow the props to be used as a pusher and still fold.

I may be flyin in a pic, but not sure which one you are referring to with the amount of traffic I unload on RCG. I am 28 and workin hard to support the habbit! here are my 2

Here is a short clip of the Queen Bee when it was powered by EDF, very fun combination but not the most efficient. With 4 minutes of throttle timer, I was able to do 12+min flights depending on conditions.

They tinkered with the units, desperately trying to make them play nice together; but all efforts were useless as they would not both operate at the same time without causing problems. They had to take turns flying= problem still exists...

Anyway, just sharing me and my friends' experiences; there might be a few on the market that do work together, but my neither one of my friends got one of those lucky units.

Don't want to hijack the tread, but I suggest you post this on the DL tread, I'm sure it would help them. Are you sure they were systems with new soft ?

I have not been following it in the rcg thread, but in the FPVLab.com threads. I cannot be confirm both systems were the new software; I can only tell you that both two pilots told me they were flying with the new software.

What is ironic, is that previously when flying their old DL systems together, they had one of the few pairs that DID work at the well together. Now last time we were out flying, they were taking turns because of radio issues when both were on...

I got very lucky, while I did not intend to mount the gopro so far back on the wing, it sits high enough where you do not see more than a few mm of the black part of the nose.

This thing is really tremendous, but great characteristics to haul around whatever you want (FPV/AP/Lighting Systems/ Etc.). I would like to fabricate some sort of carriage that I can use the 100" Queen to either tow or carry the 48" Ele-Bee up to altitude.

Are you flying there this Saturday morning? I've got my brand new FPV Scout Bee to maiden. Trying to decide whether to make the trip down there, or just go on my own to my local flying spot for the first few throws. Got my first EagleTree ODS/Guardian on board, and will need to use the first few flights to 'calibrate' it - might be better to do that without inconveniencing other Dragon LRS users while I stuff around with ground checks and LOS flights.

Are Kal and Micheal there on Saturday in your "small group of us"?

Cheers

Got pictures of your build? I've finished the last of my LOS and trimming flights. First big FPV flight of my Scout Bee this weekend!

I fabbed a wing drop on mine. I havent tested it in the air yet, but its a 9gr servo pulling a pin out of guides. I put a zip tie loop on my 42"(100%) Divinity to drop it from its big mama (105" = 250%). The drop mechanism is on CG of course.

PS my previous post was regarding your replies to my vid and request for pics of my landing gear.

This is not correct, the first units with the new firmware just shipped a few days ago. I know WebDr has had his unit much longer than that and does not have the new firmware yet.

I flew my plane yesterday with 3 Dragon Link transmitters running for several flights, and not a single failsafe

That is great news your 3 units work well together.

When both of them told me they were both on new software, I took their word for it. I dont know why they would have told me that if they were not. I am going to ask them again to confirm, and will post response.

That is really good news if it works for the majority like it does in your test case. Any idea if the performance theoretically will improve when operating with other LRS systems too?

JettPilot,

I did speak with ludo (aka xalienx aka fpvflyer), and he confirmed that him and Matt have both the new and the older firmware. He also confirmed that NONE of the systems between him and Matt (WebDr) will cooperate at the same time.

I dont know how they do it, but know they are both active in the industry, and sometimes are able to get their hands on products before the rest of us...

Anyway, I do hope these issues are sorted out soon.
