"My radio doesn't seem to be radioing" lmao put that on a t-shirt!
nice videos bros. deserve more subs
Hi Simon! Cool to see you here!
DEFENTLY. PRINT IT. PLEASE
Nice idea
I'd buy that :)
Plane: I wanna be free!
Set waypoints :I
Plane: Well sh***
lacucaracha111111 queen starts playing: I want to break free
We just dodged the birth of skynet by a hair. Lol
Wow, there was some beautiful tension as the glider was cruising along without direct control.
Shoulda called this vid "flying my plane in win98 desktop".
windows xp
@@jzjzjzj but the former is so much funnier
I thought it was win 7 but xp is actually correct. The picture is called "Bliss".
@@MattacksRC sure... Why not. 😐
Man, this is so freaking cool! What a time to be alive. The shots at 6:36 and 7:30 when you spot the plane in the sky just flying on autopilot, it looks so cool! Can't believe we live in a time where someone made a free autopilot software that works this well.
10:07 New bliss wallpaper. Sell it to microsoft.
Why has this comment not gotten attention. I just laughed hard for the first time in a month.
Good👍👍👍
pls edit to 10:06
A piece of advice from commercial pilot and software developer. ;-) ArduPilot normally does not maintain speed using speedbrakes so if you set steep descend at low speed it maintains vertical profile while the speed is actually higher than programmed. For that reason you should have taken into consideration minimal drag of the glider and plan shallow descend as it is not a problem to add some power in order to avoid stall while it is problematic to automatically use speedbrakes in order to maintain both vertical profile and desired airspeed. Even Boeing 737 including Max (as I know Dreamliner too) does not automatically use speedbrakes or flaps.
Good to see happy landing. :-)
Imagine if the wright brothers could look at this UA-cam on a laptop, and see what wonders are in their future. Incredible and SOooooo awesome. Beyond the imagination of many EVEN STILL TODAY. Retired 70 year old electrical engineer. I've watched this growth since the 1960's. Your accomplishments have FAR surpassed my early imaginations of AUTOPILOT, where you can detect and utilize thermals, and GeoPositioning. I'm so incredibly impressed!!!
ADDENDUM:
11:39 add ground sensing radar, for landing Elevation, geopositioning data from Google maps, mountains, bodies of water, And "PHONE HOME" with geo coordinates after avoiding destructive cliffsides or water landings. Obviously there's still room to grow!!! INCREDIBLE...
If this happens again, you'll probably want to hit the "Arm/Disarm" button in your GCS software once you're confident on the landing approach. Or at the very least, hit it once you've landed. This will stop the motor from trying to spin on the ground, the plane is still trying to go to the next waypoint so it keeps the throttle on until you manually disarm it.
Or you could set up the autoland feature. Good call on not using it in this scenario though, it's got a few settings that need to be tuned before you can rely on it.
What a great landing. That was some thinking on your feet uploading that landing pattern. Great to see such a competent pilot. Respect.
This was very exciting! So cool how the landing turned out. Thanks for capturing this flight, greets, Mario
Damn... you kept your head in this situation😁 well done👍
This was epic! programming an autopilot course while the plane is out of rc control... Best RC glider video evah!
More exciting than Game of Thrones this year.. Great video, lucky you were recording everything
20% skill 80% luck. Great job getting it back safe!! I love my ASW I have a similar setup and it's one of my "go to" sailplanes for playing with thermals. Keep the awsome videos coming!
i love how you remain absolutely calm throughout the whole ordeal
Wow! That couldn't have gone better! Excellent save!
Good job keeping a clear head and thinking to set a waypoint mission ! Great save !
4:00. That's why you lost control. Your glider was trying to get your video demonetized.
LMAO. He should edit that part out before some jerk reports it.
Right !!! Some dick head will report him im sure. P o s wanna be. Keep up the great work rctestflight
@Thu Nell Ⓥ Exactly 4 minutes in. Pause it. Look at the glider path. It looks like a very crudely drawn penis.
No way, you guys are just trying to cause trouble.
Burn Victim Yoda 2 months ago, "4:00. That's why you lost control. Your glider.... " I really think this comment and "OBSERVATION" to be ABSOLUTELY ABSURD. Viewers can see almost anything they wish in 'randomness' no matter how RIDICULOUS, and there SHOULD BE NO punishment to the author for an entirely unexpected claimed observation by someone, anyone, any person of entirely unknown background or certifiable sanity. We certainly CANNOT build anything of value if it can be vulnerable to the unfounded whimsy of chaotic hallucinational fanatics!!! I have looked, I have seen, and I stand by my statement, that these are the terroristic accusations of insane fanatics and have neither sensible foundation, or cause of any further action by anyone, EXCEPT TO BE ON GUARD AGAINST ANY SUCH IDIOCY gaining any traction what-so-ever in the future... PLZ STAY SANE!!! Unfounded IDIOCY can cause such unfair consequences, and unsettle the positive foundations of our civilization. Real, verifiable, scientifically provable facts, should be the foundation of understanding, NOT whimsical, ethereal, illusory images created in some whacko's head. Let's value our fellow human beings rather than just abuse them through human laziness and apathy...
Congratulations! That was a very cool flight with a good outcome.
Nice! Great setup and finally someone else that is FPV soaring with the camera in the right location!
Wow that was exciting! Love how the Autopilot held it nearby luckly you got that onboard! Great video! 👍🏼💪🏼
Nice job of handling that cool and calm. That comes with experience.
🤘😁👍
It's such a majestic plane...its a shame I can't control it. Lol...
Lemon stabilizer n receiver
I was smiling my ass off the entire video - first from seeing you trouble shoot in real time and then from that PERFECT landing! Great work daniel!
So majestic! very nice shots!
I've had many many glider and single engine plane flights (full scale), but have never crashed, lost or ruined an aircraft. After watching many videos on this channel, I've learned that you can't expect the same with RC's. But it sure looks like fun exploring all the different flying concepts and adventures.
It been a while never see such an adventure video from you ... great experience, well done.
Wow, wow, wow!!!!!!!! Amazing bro that you set the way points so perfectly!!! Still can't believe this happened!!!! Landed perfectly!!!
Brooooo..... I know them feels!
Except I didn't have auto pilot.... :(
its still MIA to this day
EPIC save and landing BTW
Yeah, what an epic gamer moment
I know that feeling too!
Brooooo... I know them feels!
Except I don't have plane/Glider just a single used double A battery with yellow post-it note on it.
Man I love your videos! I'm so glad you still make them
Wow! Did not expect that! You got SUPER lucky!
Oh man, what a beautiful recovery! Such a graceful plane as well. Would be cool to see the full onboard video of that flight if you have it.
that landing was amazing considering everything involved
Beautiful and exciting flight!...Thumbs up!...👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I felt like I was right there with you when the failsafe kicked in 😳
Glad the waypoint mission worked ✌️😎
I love arduplane it does incredible stuff all the time LOL! Auto land is one of the coolest features and works amazingly well!
Omg.... that was AMAZING................ MUST WATCH TILL END GREAT WORK UNDER PRESSURE!
That was freakin cool. Kinda like the movie interstellar when he landed a military drone with a laptop
Yooo, glad I wasn't the only one thinking of the Indian drone in Interstellar!
From now on, I will never dispute the realism of that scene again. Thanks, Daniel.
Congrats!!! That worked out so well!
Beautiful Glider !
That landing was picture perfect. Wow
Awesome save..... That was quick thinking . And the landing .. I cant believe there was ZERO damage
OMG this was so great to watch. I can't believe it, you were so lucky.
Holy crap, this was one of the most exiting vids I've seen in a while :D
That was super fun to watch! Way cool!
That was a no BS title. Great job.
Dude - this is so me! “Wait, what ...... uhm, uh-oh!”. “Crap .... lemme think”.
I love it! Kudos and well done to create waypoints home!
Great video, plane, flying and autonomousing...
Fantastic job. I want to copy.
Ive done a lot of rc flying until about 10 years ago. i witnessed a lot of rc control failures, but none was so relaxed like yours! Great video and also great Hangsoaring spot. Atm im not flying but i subscribed...
What a perfect landing. Pretty cool video.
Built free flight models as a kid in the 60's. Took up hang gliding late in life but not for long. Found out my old body is unsuited for learning how to fly hang gliders. Then, I bought a Night Radian......Then, I learned about FPV!!!! I had no idea it could be used on glider. Totally lost my marbles. I came here seeking to learn more about FPV and stumbled across your most excellent video. I have an HG friend who flies Steptoe Butte and Tekoa and produces lots of videos. Where's my drool cup?
Nice save. Love your honest videos!
Stunning sites, stunning weather, excitement, happy ending... Nirvana! :o)
Perfect landing! Made me smile :)
Awesome stuff! Currently in the works to build something similar to this :) thanks for all the informative videos
Nice save!
That was incredible!
Wow amazing to see what's possible with arduPilot!!
The power module of the pixracer doesn't provide enough current for a 1.5W telemetry receiver. You could tell that the receiver lost power in flight because the LED on your transmitter was Green, not Blue. That means it was not getting telemetry back from the RX. You need to power the receiver directly from the BEC, not the "RC In" port on the pixracer (don't connect the red wire there).
When the aircraft got a bit further away, the receiver telemetry power ramped up and caused the problem. You're very luck the pixracer didn't brown out.
@@Noircogi I think you likely nailed this. You never power a peripheral like that from the FC.
My stomping grounds! I can see Steptoe Butte from the house. Made me do a double take when you mispronounced it and then I realized :D
Excellent adventure!
Wow - all things considered... fantastic landing
I love your videos. Amazing choice !!
amazing outcome!!
Good video with great visuals of the area, and a look at the good and not so good things about flying drones. RF from the towers 'may' have been an issue. Illustrates a good case to be made for having a pre-loaded set of "Abort to Home" waypoints for recovery. Steptoe Butte is in the middle of farm country. That "grass" that would provide a nice landing cushion is most likely wheat.
That was such a nice landing. Last time I did an APM autopilot landing it hit harder than normal. It broke the landing gear.
Thanks for the video I was debating between Dragonlink and Crossfire, was already leaning to the Crossfire due to the prices but now looks like it is a definite Crossfire. I have an R9 setup but, I want long range more than 2 miles and I do not trust the R9 with that distance.
I have been in your shoes before with lose of direct control and you handled it perfectly. Better than me actually I started to panic.
got lucky dude. and what a beautiful place 😉
nice ...... please keep posting FPV videos.... I love them.
My friends and I would throw parties up at the top of Steptoe butte our freshman yr in college. Love that place!
That was exciting. Good save.
That was AMAZING! How lucky can you get...
Tank you vidéo magnifique super bravo
This was better than air crash investigation! You saved the paxes.
Ardupilot supports a joypad or joystick though mission planner using the telemetry connection.
you could get a USB device or use a PlayStation 2 controller with a USB adapter, once set up you just leave the pad in your kit as an emergency backup with will allow you to take full control of flight over mission planner should something go wrong again.
The latency is very high and it's not something you'd wanna fly with for every day use but it can get you down safely when something goes tits up :)
that would depends about how low window latency is configured sik radio for long range telemetry.
@@christop3260 it does not matter how high the latency is, it is pretty high, the idea is to use it simply as a way to get the craft down in an emergency.
I have one also, love that plane :-) Beautiful part of the country. Lucky you had the AP in there, saved it for sure.
The dragonlink has a spectrum analyzer function that you can access with a USB cable to your computer. You might see if the towers were putting out signals in the band.
Wow...nice job man, I wish half my flights worked out that way
Amazing recovery,,, brilliant man 🤪
That was some advanced thinking there pilot! Just wow!
I have a handheld Ham Radio and a Motion activated paper towel dispenser. When I transmit at 1 watt of power 8 feet away the dispenser activates. RF can screw with unshielded electronics. Transmission towers can get to kilowatts of power. Something to keep in mind.
That was brilliant!
Ok, ok, vert good job programming the right waypoints. Btw... WHAT A FREAKING LUCK!!!
👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣
😳 nice save brother.👍
That's one of the moments when you literally want to hug that tiny brave autopilot module!
Great video.
My guy, you found the fabled location of the proprietary microsoft xp wallpaper at 10:06
Really cool spot. I used to go there for stargazing when I was in high school.
Ha, gay!
It’s not really star Gayzing when you have a girl with you.
That was beautiful and awesome
My advice. Solder everything. It's a solid connection.
Awesome video..
Had to Google where you were at. Didn't look like any place in Utah that I have ever seen. Beautiful
nice save!
Pretty cool vid.
This place is so beautiful
Thats some nice scenery.
If you happen to have any openLRS gear you can scan the noise floor from the configuration app on your laptop.
well done!
that was really intense :)
A brown pant moment for sure. Epic save indeed 👍
