Hi! it is quite something isn't it I looked at the Turnigy Basic Goggles that HobbyKing have, but none of them are in stock, and haven't been for a while- so I didn't chance it backordering them...

Thanks, the hole in the botton is a good solution,,,

Thanks for the Pics, that is what I was looking for,,,,

Hi ilovefpv, the first video was with the HK wingCAm?, if so, where did you installed, the video of mine has a problem when is on the nose, (video with waves), It could be due the vibration of the fuse, when I intalled on the wing the video was clear with no waves. It is possible due an unbalance propeller (APC 6x4E)?

No - all the video was shot with a GoPro...

Hope you enjoy! Any questions just ask me, I'm always happy to help http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn-gmvhx8Fw

HI, Great video, could you please explain the camera connections, we can not see the color of the wire, which one with which one, also the RX and TX voltage, someone, I don't remember who was, told us about the RX and TX voltage, the the manual said 5.8 for both but in real it is 12v, could you please check this in your setup?. I'm little confuse about this.
Thanks

Thanks ilovefpv, did you measured the flying distance with the stock antenna?

No, I don't have an OSD ot anything like that to measure it yet.. The video does pick up some interference when I fly directly over the base station.. As would be expected with the dipole...

For now I'm just flying within visual range...

Hi! You need 12V for the camera, transmitter and receiver. I am using one 3S lipo for the transmitter (this also powers the camera) and one 3S lipo for the receiver...

For the camera connections, you need to solder on a standard servo plug onto the wire that comes with the 5.8Ghz system, like I said in the video, solder red servo wire to red wire on transmitter, black servo wire to black on the transmitter and white servo wire to yellow wire on the transmitter...

It should all be in the video- sorry if I went a little fast...

Happy flying,
Al

Ok,,,,thanks

About the radio range, who knows what is the range for a Futaba 9CAP in 72mhz?
I read that everybody fly 1 to three miles, some up to ten or more, are this special radios?

Usually special antennas. Search for IBCrazy and read his blog.

I just pulled the trigger and ordered myself one from HK .
