Yes - I have been speaking to him on YOUTUBE about his flights. VERY good What is his setup on the ground?

[jalves]

Aerosin,

What rc link did you use?

Dakar home made or bought?

Did you use the Lynx to point the antenna?

Nice flight (and distance too).

[Ian Davidson]

WOW! That's an amazingly efficient flight - 43km with a single 3S 5000mAh battery!!

[SENTRY]

Yeah - his area is very flat (Thailand). No 100+ feet Georgia pines like we have here.

@ Sentry & jalves:
I've added more detail of equipment used, pls see above...
This flight is done by my FPV friend idbbx not me, and we are in Taiwan not in Thailand.:-)
Dakar OSD and Lynx is home made by great circuit/software design from Cristobal Fernandez @ Aeromodelosmo forum in Spain and delicate PCB design by Ian Jhonston@ UK.
The FPV flying area is mainly milkfish aquaculture ponds and no longer used original Salt culture fields. There is a Salt culture museum nearby.

Yeah he and I were talking through YOUTUBE --- but we were both using google translate so there was a lot lost. I was interested in his feet/mile (or meter/km) methods.

[hugy]

Very nice distance. I only got 11km on my easystar with 4400mah. He is flying really efficient.

[Po73]

That is an awesome flight on a single 3S 5Ah. I figured the max with mine to be 20km at the very best.

[SENTRY]

49KM
