Title: Fpv gliding
Post by: johnfireball on August 24, 2016, 17:18:05 PM

I've made a self contained fpv camera system to fit on any glider or plane and am going to try it out on my trusty middle phase. To give myself some chance of success I have fitted the phase with a stabilisation system (switchable on or off). Center the sticks and it self rights and flies at a nice glide angle (I tested this on the slope and it works really well. It flies better than I can). I used a ccd board from a small quad using Libre pilot firmware. Now to try flying with goggles.

Looking good John!

Wanted to try on my EasyGlider, but I would like to have it with head tracking! Would be a better option I think in my mind.

One day, I will have money to splash on that :) But would like to try!  :)
