» My FPV Planes - September 2023

G'day guys, here are the 7 FPV planes that I'm currently flying. I've got a nice variety of planes now and they all serve a different purpose. Can you guess which is my favorite?

10:39 XUAV Mini Goose

While editing this video I realized that every plane uses an old EzUHF for RC control and most of them have an Eagle Tree Vector flight controller. This is ancient technology now but they still work so well.

It will be interesting to watch this video back in a few years and see which planes remain. I wonder if all this old technology will be swapped out and replaced with modern flight controllers and digital video systems. I have 2 new FPV planes on the way, one of them will have some modern gear including an iNav flight controller, Walksnail, ELRS & Li-ion batteries.

A plane missing from this video is my Heron sailplane. It's been out of action for a long time after the flight controller burnt out. I must get it running again and ready for some FPV slope soaring. I think it would be nice to try ardupilot on a sailplane and maybe digital video.
