jonpet55 0 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I have just finished my new ground station. I found out it was much better controlling the plane from my room due to multiple reasons: - I don't have to carry all my gear to the field - I can use monitors instead of googles - the sun shining into the monitor is no longer a problem - I can sit on my chair - much better comfort Enough talking, here is some pictures: http://jonpet55.latestdot.net/projects/con...anel/index.html http://jonpet55.latestdot.net/projects/ant...anel/index.html For more information, look at http://skagmo.com/fpv.htm This is my latest video. This flight was really nerve-wrecking! http://vimeo.com/1116326 The TSII will be a much more stable platform with pan/tilt and a CPD4 for extra stabilisation. Hope you like it!

Wavess 0 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Nice equipment you´ve got there, but... you shouldn´t flight over that crowded area at least not while you´re testing new stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonpet55 0 Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Well, I was expecting someone would mention that. At first I'll say I wouldn't have done this with a bigger plane, and the only reason I did it was because I find the plane pretty harmless. It is a very slow and lightweight plane, but I can agree it was a little bit on the edge if I knew I was going to get these problems - which was not expected at all. My future plans is to make a rudder-home system, so this would probably not happen again. I will also fly in the opposite direction, which is over a forest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eickst 0 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Yeah I wouldn't worry too much about crashing into someones house or yard, my real fear is crashing into a roadway with vehicles and causing an accident. May want a remote "self destruct" device to burn any personally identifying materials. (that was a joke btw) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
