Quadcopter highspeed action in the Alps - (800m dive!!!, Hirschwang, Rax, Mittagsstein, RCSchim)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 чер 2013
- This location is on my list for some time now! Finally I had my KK2 copter converted to use LRS and 2.4Ghz video to have nice range. I needed around 1km here and 800m height difference to the peak! The speedy downhill dive works best on this kk2 setup - the discovery isn't as well set up in manual mode. And I rather risk the cheaper kk2 one.
I didn't stick to the shape of the downhill landscape as tight as I planned - but while flying your more nervous than you think...
Der Mittagsstein ist schon länger auf meiner Wunschliste. Ein paar mal hab ich ihn schon mit Fliegern besucht, aber dann immer nur kurz. Hier konnte ich mal direkt vom Fuße des eindrucksvollen Felsen starten und ca. 800 Höhenmeter überwinden. Dann kam ein schneller Sturzflug - nicht ganz so knapp an den Konturen des Bergs entlang wie ich es vielleicht wollte - aber während des Fliegens ist man immer etwas nervöser als man denkt ;-)
Der KK2 eignet sich besser als Sturz- und Actionflieger als der Discovery, weil mein KK2 besser manuell zu fliegen ist, als das Naza.

Nice flying YTschim! The ride back down the mountain was awesome. Thanks for the fun ride.
Very Nice! I appreciate your narration, it makes the video educational as well as entertaining.
Absolut genial, wie die meisten deiner Videos! Wir wünschten wir hätten auch solch eine tolle Berglandschaft hier in Ostfriesland. Aber die Deiche sind die einzig sichtbaren Erhebungen hier :-(
Very nice scenery and awesome flying. can't wait to build me a quad. It's moving up the priority list
That descent looked like great fun - nice job
Beautiful and exciting as usual, thanks!
Great video, great music and superb flying!
Superb flight. Greetings from Spain. Keep'em coming!
That was quite an accomplishment! Well done!
Beautiful
You are turning in to a PRO operating the quad.
Way kool man..
to all: I just added an LINK to a WEBCAM showing exactly this rock. While you wouldn't see my copter on this lowres cam - it's still a great view. It's from the top of the cable car that you also saw in a quick shot in this vid.
I live around 5km down that valley on the horizon here...
Another great video. Thanks for the ride.
UIUIUI... Gänsehautalarm beim Dive :-).. sehr schönes Video.. wie üblich grandiose Arbeit :-)
You impressed me with this beautiful videos
Beautiful. I like your narrations since I do not know the area.
Another great Video, I'm amazed that some feel you need dutch courage they obiously have less to lose or more money than some of us. Keep up the good work
OUTSTANDING! - AMAZING - INCREDIBLE! - ...to put this is perspective for you?.......put simply, - YOU are a QUAD-GOD! I MUST have all the details of your setup! (the only changes for me would be that I must use a 2.4 radio & a 1 watt 1.3Ghz video transmitter - but apart from that... YOUR set up is ASTOUNDING! - what IS it all? - WOW!!!
you see the full detail in the link in desc. the motors are 1200kv I Think - with 3cell and 9x5 props. works good. The ascend is partly sped up in video software - you might have guessed this?
The batteries are nothing fancy. Turnigy 3cell 3600mah with 30-40C I guess.
thank you for flying between the 2 chimneys! that was just too tempting
+Jeffy Ze French :)
you're welcome. after this dive I simply HAD to fly between them and it gave em a fat smile on my face :)
Hi YTschim, Thank you for this information, I see what you mean and will look into doing this as well. You are so lucky to have a wonderful playground of hills and valleys to fly in, here in the UK you have to take care where to fly as the law does not permit you to fly over private areas, so I have to go for long walks, fly and run, lol It looks like you have more freedom and a relaxed place to enjoy, keep up the vids and I will speak again soon, all the best, Ivan.
Thanks. It sure looks better on the video than it really was. But it was a nice adventure and I was happy to land safe after those flights.
Please check the equipment link in description - you should find everything there...
Congratulations on a great achievement!
Beeindruckendes Video. Viel Power und viel Action. Der Flug von 800 auf 500 Meter hat mir am besten gefallen.
Gruß

Klasse, danach hatte ich gesucht und nicht mehr gefunden. Der Tag ist schön geworden!
Nice!!! I've often thought about trying this with my copter but haven't worked up to it yet. Plus, it just doesn't look the same once you've seen a wing diving at 100mph doing the same thing :) Awesome though and good flying, keep the videos coming.
Awesome flight, must take some guts to fly the quad that far away and up! Don't think I've seen anything like this before, could be a first!
thanks, there's another diving video and yes: quads look slower compared to wings.
But I just love how convenient they are to start / land anywhere. I hate the many false starts I had while throwing my maxiswift. Maybe it was just underpowered...
I have another diving video near awesome cliffs - just have to cut it - but it will be my best so far from what I've seen on the raw material viewing...
coming down like a boss! ;D
Cool man! Thanks for sharing :)
Wow I'm speechless! I hope that my Tricoper with FPV arrives soon.
Nice flight. I can imagine how nervous you was there. I know all about planning a certain flight, but not being brave enough when it comes to it.
See full details and pics to the copter in the link in descripton! and yes kk2
as I wrote above. I still use 1.2 and am happy with it. Don't wanna experiment as long as it flies nice...
key is: take something stable and get used to it.
Saw this again now.. long time ago I saw this first time .. But its a really nice video and the dive feels like skydiving with a flying squirrel suit.. Looks so fun and great! =D
could be faster - but speed with multicopters on dives isnt easy to achieve. I wanna do some more diving this year.
Check out my multicopter dives playlist - I had some other nice mountains ;-)
RCSchim Well it could be faster, but I believe that if you want speed you should go with a plane or perhaps flying wing. The speed from the quad is just perfect I think, I'm not used to flying those (yet) so for me it will be superslow when I build one in the next couple of weeks :P hehe.. Will check out the playlist! :)
Thanks, greetings back!
So cool, :o) makes me want to start up my Marklin Z scale habit again but noooooo! I can't afford both. I scupted & cast Z scale vehicles for a few years. Nice drop down the mountain.
hi, thanks. I use Thomas Scherrer LRS. Not cheap but one of the best. Very good support also.
Other than that I only saw ezUHF - looks very sleek and well thought.
Flown by dragonlink is something you read often on the net - so it has to be good also...
Lately I fly more with standard 2.4ghz Futaba aswell with my quads (this is a smaller and lighter setup, no extra towers / tripods...) and it's good for around 1,5km range)
Very nice! :)
well I don't use the autolevel on kk2 because it feels weird. it could help if you get disoriented and need help. It also could help in a failsafe condition - where I have Autolevel and reduced throttle set. So it should in theory level itself and descend and have minimum damage - but I hope I don't have to try it out...
Great flight, and brave to undertake this and risk to lose your quad on the mountain...
SO good, I can't wait to get FPV for my F450, soon as I can save some extra money.
yes, 9x5 graupner eprops. I read that they are good for fast fwd flights. they don't break so easy...
I started down next to this factory. plus friends of mine used to work there so it's interesting for them.
And: I spent much of my battery power to get up there, then it's windy around the peak so you get nervous and instantly want to come back safe...
afterwards, when watching the vid I wished that I would have more hover around the peaks cross material...
hi Ivan, my dives were done all with KK2 board.
I have one safety for not cutting off throttle in air:
I program a motor switch. if it's off the throttle doesn't do anything on the ground (no unintended powerup).
once I startet multicopter I switch motor switch up: this limits the low throttle to 11% or so - so even if I accidently use 0Throttle and rudder all left (which normally cuts of motor) it doesnt. hope you know what I mean...
ahhhh KK2, this takes me back :)
hey - new Subscriber - welcome!
KK2 and this copter - these were the early days of copter FPV for me. This copter especially was nice: powerful (back then) and cheap - so I could risk more. had a lot of fun - but when I see the shaky video now - ugly ;)
for naza and dives: I converted my powerquad from this video here from kk2 to naza lite. first flights in manual mode were stable and promising - I'll see how good it will perform.
I prefer naza over kk2 because it could RTH on failsafe...
fantastic video. really good. i'm looking to try to do similar FPV with my armattan CF258. it's early days yet. i'm still working working on better piloting skills before I put my new FPV kit on! battery life is a big one for me. the quad must turn the fans quite hard to put in 800 meters vertical. i'll need to see how long mine will fly climbing like that before the battery dies. it has 1800 kv motors with 7 inch props. video like that is really inspiring..
nice nice!
Thanks to NZ! I was really nervous when reaching the summit here. It was a bit windy so you couldnt tell little gusts from Radio failure signs...
Also the industrial site used some 2.4 wifi which caused me to switch to another channel there and still got interference when I was further away... Flying the KK2 is pure fun and action - but it has no safety features like the naza. I only fly multicopters these days, so I have to do longrange with them.... ;-)
klasse!
Hello, great videos, always nice to watch and learn from you. I have a F450 QUAD and been flying all over the sky but when I want to do a dive I am afraid of bringing the throttle to low as I heard that if it goes to 10% or less it will cut off.
I was just wondering as to when you do your steep dives how low you take your throttle and if you have ever had a cut out in flight, or does the NAZA kwow it is in motion and not cut off, any help be great, happy summer flying, Many thanks Ivan.
Yeah! gefällt!
geilio! lg Flo
Schöne Aufnahme.
coole music
Awesome F***ING Awesome!!!
nice
Danke, die Erleichterung nach dem Dive war nicht gespielt :-)
Nice landscape and beatifull flight seems like i was there next to you...i love all yor videos.what lrs do you use?im thinking Ez or Dragon link still havent decide what is best for my quad .
Hi there, really love your videos it's always a fresh breeze from the traditional fpv videos, really love the narration.
I have recently bought a tri, still learning how to fly it, etc. but I'm having a bit of a challenge, I'm not quite sure if I should use auto-level. I've been using it almost since the start and I believe it sometimes caused me to crash because I had to constantly give input on the sticks to correct from wind, etc... Do you use auto-level while flying? Do you use it at all?
Hello back to india! Didn't I already answer this? I don't know...
I'm really conservative on new firmwares (gopro was bad with new fw,... Naza is told to crash more often...)
KK2 is on FW 1.2 for me. for 1.4 I heard the autolevel is better, but normal mode is not so good. So I stay with 1.2 as long as it works.
Worst thing that can happen: bug in Firmware makes my copter flip on a high speed long range flight. Don't like that!
whoah
Yeah, it's adrenaline pure if you're 1km away with only 5mins flighttime and than you're over very remote locations.
Last time I had 4 batteries. 3 Flights went well, but I was nervous. So I changed at least the SD Card, so if I loose the quad on the mountain I would have the first awesome flights ;-)
And I calmed myself: it's the cheap quad, the old Gopro - what can happen ;-))
OK, I just subbed you and will check out your vids later. Have luck on the weather! greetings!
hello, how is the price of your equipment (the drone) sin the tx?
thanks
Loved it. Have you uploaded the v1.6 for the kk2 board to see if their is a difference from 1.5?
hehe krasse sache.
Hey mr schim, whats your current draw (amps) on this quad? What would you say if a quad the same size as yours could fly using only 6 amps?
paulkazjack this one here was very inefficient. But 6amps sounds very good. newer quads now are very lightweight, low kv motors, huge props and 6S batteries. but than again this little f450 was so much fun (even if it was only 5mins of flighttime) :-)
hello friend your quadcopter is really a great,i just want to know that how to make it and what all parts ,making budget u need to make it and am belong to a low class family so just am requesting that if u have any spare part of your quadcopter then can u please give me.Thank You
if u don't mind what are your kk pi gain and limit settings?....yr videos are great btw...
please follow the link in the description here, but dont just copy my settings, use the link to the tuning guide on RCGroups - it's not much work and will be better - because unless you use the exact same components, your quad will be different!
What's it like flying and not relying on your eye sight to fly? Like, flying using the camera to see what you physically can't see?
first it's frightening maybe. but today you have a lot of help (GPS position hold, stabilizers...) but if you're used to it, you can fly far more save than I could by flying on sight. I'm really bad piloting on sight. with a small quad I can only fly 10-20m away and then I already get confused about the direction / orientation. So for me flying with the FPV goggles always was easier!
hello, what is the flight controler, nazan-M, wookong?
thanks
opti Aero this one here was only the cheap kk2 board from hobbyking. The whole drone is maybe 200$ and 100$ more for fpv equipment plus cam...
Niceee!!. What is your c and mAh in your battery? And the motors are 2826.. what is the kv?.
Thnx.
kk2
der ist Eigenbau - aber man kann sich was Ähnliches kaufe: DJI Phantom ist in etwa in der Klasse - wenn auch nicht so starke motoren. dafür fix fertig...
Nice fall flight! Do you use graupner propeller?
Bye
Hi, what kind of landing skids (not the foam) were you using ?
Very nice channel.
I took the skids from a Thunder Tiger Mini Titan e325.
Maybe it's still available as replacement part. But you can take any "normal" RC Helis skids in that 400 size I guess...
Welches long range system nutzt du?
Hast du einen wlan booster ?
what kind of camera are you using here? Nice vid by the way.
thanks, it's my older Gopro2. I used the 1280x960 mode here to have 4:3 mode filling my whole fatshark image. Also this gives you the ability to move up / down a little in video editing software if you render your video to 16:9 framesize (1280x720)...
Very nice. I am just looking at getting into this and I am amazed of what some of you guys are doing with these things. I will be starting out with the 40$ toy first and then move up gradually. Thanks for all your hard work editing i really enjoyed the flight.
Hallo Herr Schim, ich habe schon viele Videos von Dir gesehen, aber hier vermisse ich das was als highspeed bezeichnet wird, oder es kommt einfach nicht so rüber. Trotzdem sehr schöne Aufnahme. Ich kenne mich noch nicht mit lang range aus. Man braucht wohl uhf und 2,4Ghz. Aber wie sieht so ein Setup aus? Wenn du ein deutsches oder auch englisches tut - Video hast, bitte ich um den Link.
Weiter so, es inspiriert mich total. Wahnsinn Erlebnis, und das nur durchs zuschauen. Vielen Dank
hi, stimmt vielleicht - selbst der Sturzflug hier ist bei dem Quad noch relativ langsam (ca. 100kmh?). Bzw. heute gibts viele Miniracing Quads welche in 10cm Höhe mit 50kmh fliegen - das wirkt deutlich schneller ;-)
Ich glaub Du hast schon andere Videos von mir gefunden - schau auch einfach mal in meinen Hangar - dort gibts unter Equipment viele Infos... Grundsätzlich genügt für den Anfang auch 2.4ghz Steuerung und 5.8ghz Video um auf ca. 1-2km Reichweite zu kommen...
RCSchim ja, habe schon einiges gesehen, einfach traumhaft.
Ja 2,4 Radio und 5,8 Video besitze ich bei meinen 2300KV 250er Quad-X. Bin jedoch noch am üben und traue m8ch noch nicht weit genug weg, trotz programmierten failsafe :)
Are you using a HK board?
how come it goes quiet at 2:02 ?
had a nice song but it got copy right issues. youtube let's you remove the part wroth song in such a case
Shame, I bet the music would have gone well with the awesome scenery.
Hi Schim! :)
Do you use EazyUHF?
Hi, I use Thomas Scherrer uhf.
Hi, how many Mah were you using?
nice video
2148mah out of a 3cell (3600mah turnigy)
flew 5min:22sek there (just looked up my flightlog ;-)
OK, thanks, just built a kk2 quad and was wondering because you traveled so far.
" you get nervous and instantly want to come back safe..."
Fair enough - take some "Dutch courage" next time! ;-)
Very nice! I also love multicopters and I have about 60+ videos on my channel of my flying a Hexa. I just built a Y6 and I'm anxious to get out and fly but it's been raining everyday!!! Can't wait to see the new video, check out my channel also. :)
Amazing video! You should share it on www.dronetheworld.com, our new site for global drone footage. You are invited to be one of the first on our fast growing site. You´ll love it.
Why so much of the horrible factory and sewerage works and not the mountain peak?!?!
