    Brosius85 's RC adventures

    hey guys, i think its about time i got a thread to post all my adventures, keep track of where i have been and where i am headed.

    found out about FPV with the FPV NY video, by the time i had realized it was an rc plane with a video link i had ordered a Zeph and an IYF44, and a mismach bunch of hardware i quickly thought would do the job. Being brand new to rc of course 1/2 the hardware was completely wrong and by the time i realized spektrum was a bad idea it was too late.

    within a few weeks i had my IYF ready for the maiden..and i tried to learn to fly.

    by the time i knew how to fly it had bean beat up pretty bad. i still flew it lots and lots (every spare day, 3 or 4 times a week)

    when i was supremely confident in my flying skills 6 months later i decided it was time to build the zephyr. not FPV yet i knew not to rush. (and wanted to save up for a fully blown setup)

    the maiden went ok, i had cg wrong but no dramas, i just wanted more power.

    next thing on the list was a GoPro, this allowed me to practice smooth flying and learn the ins and outs of music selection and video editing, also choosing a good spot to fly from to get sweet videos. came up with some corkers.

    eventually i just bit the bullet and got some fatsharks, a lawmate 24 500mw tx and rx, and an 8db patch. i also changed to 36mhz control and tuned the antenna to 4m ish

    this allowed me to really get what i wanted for all this time, some serious fun in real FPV!!!! i have enjoyed the original z on 3s and have moved on to a 6s Z, i will update here as my adventure continues.

    Those first flights are pure LOL. You seemed to get the hang of it very quickly though. What happened to your hair? Had a prop incident?

    Would be tough learning to fly with a wing like that, you did great and seemed to pick things up rather quick.


    That "FPV Disaster" video was soooooo close dude, holly shit.

    Alex: I don't usually troll, but this was irresistible...
    ssassen: I bow humbly before kev.au's greatness.
    Danub: Sir I humbly bow down to your tree bashing abilities!!.
    MonZon: Damn, Kev you are gooooood!.
    R. Montiel : For sure the limiting factor is the earth curvature

    Thank you brosius, this was informative. Looks like I accidently have started down a similar road, in that I ordered inferior equipment. I can't send it back, so will get by until I use up this equipment, or learn to fly the Zii, with the intention of buy the right equipment as time goes by. Besides the Zii & Hacker for my 3S setup, the rest will be a trial. My hope is new people to FPVLAB will not have to go through the pain and expense we have done here. I really didn't have extra cash laying around to throw away, lol.
