Yeah my scan is always altitude on roll out, line up, speed, line up speed, and power to idle, speed flare, its definitely useful for getting those better landings
Now if only I could figure out how to get airspeed and altitude displays, I'd be set! That's a great video... I'm on my first FPV aircraft and learning to fly (better), but I put it on an EDF sport glider. While the landing experience (has wheels, uses runway) is of course much different, the compilation of landing videos looks like a great tool for analyzing and improving!
The data display was an in-house project. I was originally gonna sell them but I'm thinking about just starting a website where you can buy the code for like 5$ and with links to the parts and instructions on how to build it. I think someone else has a website where if you have a flight controller you can buy a much more detailed display but the name of it slips my mind atm the only difference between his and mine are that mine are stand alone. So if you're old school like me you don't have to fool around with a flight controller to get the readouts you want
@@FlightheroRC Well... you're speakin my language.... I hate the whole flight controller thing... they're like brown 'n serve bread.... half baked. I'd kill for a standalone solution similar to yours. Until then, I'm just going to take inspiration from your setup, and at least mount my little GPS speedometer on the dashboard where I can see it. I just wish it could display altitude and speed at the same time. As is, I set up voice altitude readouts from my transmitter steadily, which is fine for staying airborne but not "real time" enough for low altitude flight or landings. Another bonus (for me) on your video.... I've been contemplating FPV'ing a jet, and I like the F-16's due to the nice bubble-top canopy with no seams across the field of vision. Didn't think the tinted canopy would be good either, but looks like it works great in your video!
@@Brestae do you have any experience with arduino? If you know how to Solder I'll send you a copy of my code and then all you have to do is flash it onto the board & get the parts to make it all work. Also the F16 stock canopy is excellent for visibility as long as you clean it every few flights. The V2 canopy is even clearer than the V1. And better for low light applications I can't fly at night very well due to the tint but if I get the V2 it'll be a bit easier.
@@FlightheroRC Afraid no experience with arduino. Done a little coding and a lot of scripting in various languages over the years. But I've flashed firmware into a multitude of machines, and started off my career as a h/w guy, so I still have a 30 yr old butane soldering iron in my tool grip that's laid down miles of solder!
@@Brestae gotcha. Tell ya what send me your email I'll send you a diagram for my set up. Links to the parts I use and I'll include the code for you as well. Arduino is free to download so if you've got a computer that has a USB connector you should be able to flash the script onto the board and then Solder the connections to get it working properly. And once you're done just plug the board into any 5v port on the aircraft and after a couple of minutes on the first start up you should have 12 satellites and a good connection for accurate information.
Just been watching your brilliant flying have you tried putting expo on your fpv headtracker servos so you get smooth left to right tracking I found when I move my head left to right it's jerky watching vid back I've put 25% and it's lot smoother
Yes I have actually! Imo Theres no way to fly fpv without some degree of expo in the servos! Check out this video to see what I've got set up! :ua-cam.com/video/kHGHH_WQNqY/v-deo.htmlsi=7WPxmsIlohWoDW
@@stevejamelskyj5761just a slight delay ~0.2 seconds just due to the fact that our heads will move slightly sitting still it keeps the head tracker from feeding in all those movements

You unintentionally gave me a tutorial on how to use the screen I’m so ready man great content !

excellent video. love this content!
Awesome work!
Great video, mate!
I appreciate you! Wishing you a Happy New Year!
Awesome.
Thank you! Cheers brother!

Did my maiden take off n landing fpv can't get enough next few months using my trainer b4 I go f16 or even my hawk
That's awesome! The F16 definitely moves faster keep it up though you'll be ready in no time!

@FlightheroRC and u have delay too which is good idea

Haha! They won't be happy to find out that I'm in the Navy's Aviation pipeline😅
is that an led light to indicate when gear is down?
Yessir!
@@FlightheroRC Thats awesome! I need to do that in mine. How did you set that up?

@@FlightheroRC Thanks bro. Gonna check it out!!! Your help is always appreciated!
@@kwboost that's what in here for! Good luck brother!
