Thanks coyote you inspired me to get out htere with the trex and have a go lol. how did it go in the end? Did you get the hang of fpv hovering? How did you find the depth perception thing?
My main reason for putting it there was in an attempt to keep it below and as fare away from the alian command ir sensors on top of the boom as possible. I dont what any heat from the vtx to affect the sensor also as you say i hope it will improve the performance especially with all the carbon bits. |

The first adventure was testig the newly installed Dragonlink, that worked flawlessly. Then i flew around and recorded the footage for playback to see if there were any issues. The picture was very good but as im having huge problems getting the Thunder Tiger engine to run right there were far to many vibration problems. The next afternoon the engine was a tiny bit better but still not right then the home made Inverted Vee active conductor snapped and video was gone after 20 feet I seemed to be having interference issues as well.
So ive moved my vtx to that tail, repaced the antenna and ditched the blackstork for now too. Untill i can get it to run without stalling the engine i wont fly it FPV though |

Is it only 10 days I better stop reading on here and get building. I wanted to have the coptrex working with the dragon link! we will see if it gets here in time. I have fixed the trex so I can at lest give that a go.
Im looking forward to comparing your setup with the duo as im still not 100% happy with how my one is working |

i think there's a 3 week wait for DL right now. I have a spare Rx very early version that keeps losing bind, that's either going on the heli or my (probably too fast for my FPV skills) HET Tucano. I daresay that'll mean another camera and Tx. ANd I'll prob want OSD too... but i must FOCUS on getting the twinstar ready for the meeting and stop dreaming up new ways to spend money!!
TRex looks very nice BTW. Do the batteries balance out all the weight on the tail? |

I dont think I’m going to fly the FJ it hasn’t been up for a few months and i don’t want to fly it without having the dragon link in there. I just know if I do it will go down and the dl will turn up the next day and I won’t have anything to put it in that would be just my luck.
I will bring the xeno and a heli. Ill stick the fj in the car for show and tell lol |

Bec?
Hi guys I think I'm going to put a separate BEC in my twinstar now I'm going to have P&T too; or I could find some clever way of using both ESC's. Any recommendations for a nice quiet cheap BEC pref from EU?
thanks Mike |
