I’ve been using your system on my Turbo Timber Evo and Carbon Z Cessna. Best setup for the money. Bush flying on fpv with my STOL RC planes adds another layer of a fun experience. I’ve also rigged a few micro planes with an analog fpv setup just for beginners to practice and get a feel for the flight characteristic. UMX: A-10, Timber, and Voodoo are good candidates for the beginner
So glad to hear you are enjoying our head tracking setup! STOL flying sounds like great fun! And UMX FPV flying, too. I thought the small planes maybe behaving too differently to be enjoyable. I will try it with your endorsement. Thanks for your support and recommendation😁
It took a bit getting used to in the beginning, but afterwards it just becomes natural. And yes, the UMX ones can fly really stable, the candidates I picked are the ones with more stability and power for how small they are. I’ll show you a link where I bush fly, but I forgot to record fpv cause my SD Card was full so I just have a still video of the plane. Landing on different dirt conditions on fpv is really really fun ua-cam.com/video/jqRMcHdMe-g/v-deo.html

I flew RC back in the 80's.. Helicopters, fixed wing, boats, cars, and even a glider.. This video is awesome.. So much so, it's making me consider getting back into the hobby.
Honestly I believe this to be one of best RC flying videos that's on UA-cam! Beautiful flying, lots of action, and a great deal of work gone into clean and crisp presentation.
Thank you! Keen eyes it takes years of flying experience to hone skills to be able to chase small planes, which require much faster reaction times compared to chasing big planes or full scale.
I have been flying RC since 1990. Was finding it harder and harder going to the field 5 years ago flying the same maneuvers. A new plane once in a while gave the interest a boost. But after it’s all trimmed out and a dozen flights in, the excitement wanes. So I explored head-tracking FPV inside the cockpit to fly from pilot’s perspective. That opend up opportunities to learn from full scale pilot training material. It’s like learning to fly all over again with new awe, wonder and challenges, all with existing planes in the hangar. Much longer lasting high than Maiden of a new plane. Then, being able to fly formation and dogfights with friends add new layers of experiences never possible before flying conventionally. Now I can’t wait to get to the field every week. Sometimes twice a week flying with friends like this😉
@@motionsic Hey thanks for that! I am a former naval aviator and current international B777 pilot, type rated on everything Boeing flies except the B747.

Check out this setup on a Tomcat from another client: ua-cam.com/video/EE-tJp8gWtM/v-deo.html Thanks in advance for referral to local hobby shop owner. I do hope head-tracking FPV helps bring in new blood into the wonderful hobby of RC flying. Membership avg. age is looking very old at the RC field🥲
Watching, and knowing an enemy is on the horizon, I can feel adrenaline start to flowing. My father, duty officer for VF 81 on the Wasp, CV 18, told me the pilots were fatalists and didn’t think they’d make it back. We went to see his old commander, later Admiral Frank Upham, when he commanded a gulf coast, FL training field full of T-28s. I had to go buy one - a Monogram model I think - when we got home. Sixty three years later I still have it, hanging from the ceiling of my son’s old room.
Thanks for sharing your story. The fatalistic view is true, even the Air Force Song lyrics states “We live in fame or go down in flame.” So glad we are fortunate nowadays to experience the adrenaline rush of dogfight as sport either in models or simulators not having to face the dire consequence of losing a real life fight.
Forget 3-D flying !! THIS is what the next level of competition should be. Real FPV dog fighting, with a way to actually count your hits. GREAT video ! Great flying !! And you talked us through, just like a real flight !! Bring us more !!!
Thanks! Who wouldn’t want to relieve their childhood dreams of flying like Maverick?! Flying formation and dogfight with buds is hella fun! There is laser tag like system for scoring. Checkout FPV-combat .com. Get on it😁
Technically, RC planes can be flown exactly like full size airplanes. Just not as fast. But tight formation flying, dogfights etc are all possible with viewpoint from cockpit.
I had the idea of a camera on these kind of planes with BB-Guns mounted to them to do air combat against other remote aircraft. The idea would be to do it in a secluded area, up high, and over a calm lake or pond so you can see the pieces of aircraft and bb’s hit the water (and for easier recovery using a boat). So when the planes crash they’ll look realistic in some way.
I've been waiting for the day when we can do this sort of FPV rc stuff. Tech's finally gotten small and light enough to have full on first person dog fights with rc planes.
So, this just popped up in my UA-cam feed. I used to fly RC planes when I was a kid in the 90s. We used to do dogfighting with paper tales behind our planes that we had to cut off with our props. The aircraft we would use for it where pretty cheap and simple because there would be a lot of crashing XD. Tech has come a long way!
you've done what i dreamed for in my teen age. neither i have money nor the technolgy today to archive the game at that time. nice to see it today on youtube!
Glad you like it! It’s a dream shared by many boys of all ages! I wish digital FPV equipment are more affordable so more people can realize their dream, too.
Robert? My dad bought me the gimble for my bday. In this hobby we kinda get used to things being "just ok" even from the giant companies. This is honestly one of the nicest products I've got from the packaging to the manual. The gimble assembly is 10/10 extremely happy. Thanks so much
Thank you for the resounding endorsement Ruby! I personally inspect and check each gimbal and head tracker before shipping them and sincerely wish every customer get to enjoy immersive FPV flying as much as I do. So glad to hear back from you that it’s having the intended effect! Remember to check six frequently and dodge the falcon next time😉😁
Indeed! Collaborative play with other flyers like formation flying, dogfight and race makes RC flying more challenging and fun. And aerobatic flying is essential skill for all of those.
If there's like an infrared gun-like to imitate real bullets in front then a receiver at the back, then a point system at the ground. It'll be hell of a dog fight squadron vs squadron. The things you can think of are unlimited!
That countdown timer counted a second every two seconds and then it was like threetwoOnezero 😂 Very cool system though, kinda want that on one of my boats 😎🤙
It’s a throttle weighted timer. So when throttle is at 100% then count down is one for every second. At 50% throttle, then count down is one for every two seconds, so on and so forth. That fast count down confused me a bit, too🤷🏻♂️
Wow so impressed. I love flying my experimental aircraft and have found even vr simulation fun as well. This is getting super close to the real thing, I'm excited to see what the near future brings. I even love rc flying and building but the older fpv I used was so super sketchy trying to fly. This looks like the real deal. Thank you, I'm hooked.
head-tracking FPV which allows RC pilots to fly as if they are sitting in the cockpit, visually, and look all around. Basically be like Maverick in miniature planes😉
For air exit, the front panes of canopy are severely distorted and had to be cut out to see clearly. Needs a big vent to not create too much drag from the front opening😉
@@zxggwrt not simply a material issue, although that’s part of it. Manufacturers should not mold canopy frame and canopy together. The discontinuity in the mould causes the most distortions.

I have two T-28s one second gen still in the box.. Been watching your work for quite some time .. I believe it is safe to say that you're the Yoda of many new jedi!! When you do the tutorial I'm ALL ears!! Have built my gimbal have runcam need reflex sight.. want to laser tag my burdz as the final step.. what a hoot owl that would be!! Fights on! Thank you!
Not tricky at all once you get used to it. There’s a bit of learning curve to overcome in the beginning. But I land much more consistently now using FPV then line of sight.
Spirit level does not work as reliable attitude indicator in aircraft since the bubble would center if the resultant g force straight down through the cockpit floor. The aircraft could be in a steep bank while flying a coordinated turn and the bubble would still be at center. The reticle on the reflector sight against horizon is a simple and intuitive tool to use to gauge flight attitude.
Oh yeah!… the more $ you have in the plane rig..the more $ you need to spend so you don’t crack up the plane… or at least have a preventative measure! this in person cockpit tech is a must have!..hands down!…plus your landing/take-off, is dialed, your taxi is dialed your fuel is dialed, what else..ooh, float birds..yeah! Dog fights, formation, tricks,… So more more…well spent $… more fun, challenge, reward, safety! Way less risk! Have to have it! If I ever manage that huge scale ford tri-motor with real radials and interior..I’ll definitely want to minimize the risk to my pilot error possibilities! Ty and hope to see you soon! b.
It’s great for target practice - dogfighting, dive bombing, etc. More importantly, I use it as a very precise attitude indicator against the horizon. Line it up with the horizon and I am flying level without using altitude indicator or variometer. Great for landing, too!
Collaborative play with RC flying buds is where the fun/challenge is at! Formation flying, dogfight or air race; possibilities are endless. Get into it!
My God! I can't believe the technology of what you can do now. I've watched RC plan flying, and although some of the plans are incredible to watch. This takes it to the top. Actually being able to sit in a cockpit and fly while standing on the ground. I always wanted to learn how to fly, but never took the time for all the training. But this has me hooked!!! I would love to know how to get into this. I know without a doubt that's how I would spend my days!! My wife would probably never see me! Lol If anyone could tell me more about this. Please let me know what I need to do to get into this terrific hobby!❤❤❤
Great and wholesome hobby to get into that your wife would approve. I will be making an intro video soon. But first step is for you to visit a local RC field and see if you like flying there. Having a safe place and people you trust to fly with is important especially flying in FPV - first person view.
Late to this but wow, this is amazing. Hopefully I can find all I need as I'm starting from scratch. A: type of RC plane, B: additional setup, C: fitout/mods on the plane.
If you don’t have any RC flying experience, I recommend starting out with a trainer plane. This head-tracking FPV system is intended for experienced RC flyers looking to fly in a new way.
Can you imagine live ammo and full on tournaments in a controlled environment between squadrons of The Luftwaffe and the Royal Air Force, the possibilities are endless, make it into a show like robot wars.
Perfect, on a T-28, i am building one from scratch, with head following cockpit view. Just need to get a vitual overlay of your actual instruments. Yes i know the models are only painted, but a little overlay down the bottom of those main anaolgue dials etc thanks!
You should find AussieHoppy, he is in your neck of the woods and is the guy that inspired me to do this scale FPV flying thing: ua-cam.com/video/x3_pQhyKbRk/v-deo.html
This is amazing, Can you please tell me what parts should I get to this with my sons? I see BADASS GIMBAL and DJI O3 Air Unit... anything else ? I see hub prompter and some voice counting, gun sounds etc.

Cockpit view dog fight is super cool but a glaring lack of realism is due to the super quick response of scale aircraft. Real aircraft react much slower. Maybe modify the controller firmware to reduce the control surface deflection to improve realism.
Astute observation, no way around the flight dynamics of smaller airplanes. We are flying bigger planes now that approximate full scale flight dynamics much better🙂
Theoretically, yes. But I don’t have the expertise to make it happen. The elaborate math, programing, and hardware to do all that and transmit with low latency is far more complex than simple mechanism which I designed and used. The person/company that can make it will be richly rewarded and I will be interested in buying the product.
@@motionsic now thinking about it, yeah, seems like a shitty idea. 360° video will have to be processed into a format suitable for display on a fpv headset, adding to latency, and the conversion should probably happen on board of the rc plane, so that the entire 360° video isn't transmitted, but having all these electronics there doesn't seem to simplify things much Thanks for your response mate, great flying!
If you guys sold the planes with these setups attached and all that was needed seperatly was a headset I’d buy it no matter the price cuz this is awesome
What FPV camera are you using? And how are you able to record the footage? Do all FPV cameras capable of recording? New to FPV flying. Any info is greatly appreciated. Great video!!
This video was recorded using DJI FPV Air Unit Camera. And yes it includes recorder onboard for both video and audio. This one’s no longer available. Most FPv cameras do include recorder. The ones that don’t, you could still record from goggles side. See step by step FPV setup here: ua-cam.com/video/_V1Nma-tBOc/v-deo.html
Very cool. Seems like this could be done even better with a 360 camera. Wouldn’t need servos for camera movement, just software to control which pixels get sent back to your goggles.

Oh yeah!… the more $ you have in the plane rig..the more $ you need to spend so you don’t crack up the plane… or at least have a preventative measure! this in person cockpit tech is a must have!..hands down!…plus your landing/take-off, is dialed, your taxi is dialed your fuel is dialed, what else..ooh, float birds..yeah!
Dog fights, formation, tricks,…
So more more…well spent $… more fun, challenge, reward, safety!
Way less risk! Have to have it!
If I ever manage that huge scale ford tri-motor with real radials and interior..I’ll definitely want to minimize the risk to my pilot error possibilities! Ty and hope to see you soon! b.
That's awesome! My eyes sparkled like a child's. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it excites you!
Absolutely stunning!!!!!!
Awesome video!
This is AWESOME!
Wow, love the focus on realistic flying makes it better. Thanks for sharing im gonna have to look getting back into the hobby.!
Glad you are inspired to join in the fun!
That was AWESOME,thanks for posting video,I was exhilarated too.😊
Yay!
lol yay
Incredible! 👏👏
it even has a sight that is AWESOME!
It’s great for target practice - dogfighting, dive bombing, etc. More importantly, I use it as a very precise attitude indicator against the horizon. Line it up with the horizon and I am flying level without using altitude indicator or variometer. Great for landing, too!
Could you make a video on how to get the fpv head tracker working. From start to finish please?
Working on it.
Wow. Maybe I do want to get into RC airplanes!
Collaborative play with RC flying buds is where the fun/challenge is at! Formation flying, dogfight or air race; possibilities are endless. Get into it!
My God! I can't believe the technology of what you can do now. I've watched RC plan flying, and although some of the plans are incredible to watch. This takes it to the top. Actually being able to sit in a cockpit and fly while standing on the ground.
I always wanted to learn how to fly, but never took the time for all the training. But this has me hooked!!! I would love to know how to get into this. I know without a doubt that's how I would spend my days!! My wife would probably never see me! Lol
If anyone could tell me more about this. Please let me know what I need to do to get into this terrific hobby!❤❤❤
Great and wholesome hobby to get into that your wife would approve. I will be making an intro video soon. But first step is for you to visit a local RC field and see if you like flying there. Having a safe place and people you trust to fly with is important especially flying in FPV - first person view.
Late to this but wow, this is amazing. Hopefully I can find all I need as I'm starting from scratch. A: type of RC plane, B: additional setup, C: fitout/mods on the plane.
If you don’t have any RC flying experience, I recommend starting out with a trainer plane. This head-tracking FPV system is intended for experienced RC flyers looking to fly in a new way.
Can you imagine live ammo and full on tournaments in a controlled environment between squadrons of The Luftwaffe and the Royal Air Force, the possibilities are endless, make it into a show like robot wars.
Perfect, on a T-28, i am building one from scratch, with head following cockpit view. Just need to get a vitual overlay of your actual instruments. Yes i know the models are only painted, but a little overlay down the bottom of those main anaolgue dials etc thanks!
U guys need a couple of KC tankers and you can come visit me in Sydney AusTraila, too bloody right mate, moneys on the fridge.
You should find AussieHoppy, he is in your neck of the woods and is the guy that inspired me to do this scale FPV flying thing: ua-cam.com/video/x3_pQhyKbRk/v-deo.html
@@motionsic will do, many thanks, v much enjoyed the 2 x t-28s, looks liek your club has a great setup.
that is awesome I have to get a fpv system so I can install them into my birds. Awesome thanks for sharing bud.
Thanks and you are welcome. We want more flying bros to join in the fun of formation flying and dogfight!
That was AMAZING!!! 😃
Thanks, cheers!
Great flying..
Thanks, cheers!
Great job! Got some good deflection hits!
Haha thanks! Keen eyes.
THAT WAS SO REALISTIC AND AMAZING , EVRN YOUR TAKE OFF AND LANDONGS WAS AWESOME
Thanks! Still much room for improvement🙂
Incredible!
Hello, thank you for uploading this video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, absolutely amazing. Subscribed
This is amazing, Can you please tell me what parts should I get to this with my sons? I see BADASS GIMBAL and DJI O3 Air Unit... anything else ? I see hub prompter and some voice counting, gun sounds etc.
You need DJI Goggles 2 and O3 Air Unit;
Motionsic BAG - BadAss Gimbal

Tally-Ho Head-tracker

On top of typical RC car or RC plane with their necessary equipment.
Cockpit view dog fight is super cool but a glaring lack of realism is due to the super quick response of scale aircraft. Real aircraft react much slower. Maybe modify the controller firmware to reduce the control surface deflection to improve realism.
Astute observation, no way around the flight dynamics of smaller airplanes. We are flying bigger planes now that approximate full scale flight dynamics much better🙂
This is impressive 👌
Me and the engineer boys on free Time:
wow it's almost same as real flight
if airspeed and altitude can be indicated, it will be perfect
Thanks for the compliment and suggestion!
Always very very cool!
Question: could 360° cameras be possibly utilised instead of elaborate mechanical contraption that rotates the camera?
Theoretically, yes. But I don’t have the expertise to make it happen. The elaborate math, programing, and hardware to do all that and transmit with low latency is far more complex than simple mechanism which I designed and used. The person/company that can make it will be richly rewarded and I will be interested in buying the product.
@@motionsic now thinking about it, yeah, seems like a shitty idea. 360° video will have to be processed into a format suitable for display on a fpv headset, adding to latency, and the conversion should probably happen on board of the rc plane, so that the entire 360° video isn't transmitted, but having all these electronics there doesn't seem to simplify things much
Thanks for your response mate, great flying!
AWESOME !
Впечатляющее !! Это ну очень круто !!!
If you guys sold the planes with these setups attached and all that was needed seperatly was a headset I’d buy it no matter the price cuz this is awesome
Thank you for the recommendations. We will strive for PNP for future product release.
What FPV camera are you using? And how are you able to record the footage? Do all FPV cameras capable of recording? New to FPV flying. Any info is greatly appreciated. Great video!!
This video was recorded using DJI FPV Air Unit Camera. And yes it includes recorder onboard for both video and audio. This one’s no longer available. Most FPv cameras do include recorder. The ones that don’t, you could still record from goggles side. See step by step FPV setup here: ua-cam.com/video/_V1Nma-tBOc/v-deo.html
And the Corsair, my fav, thanks!
Mine too!
Do you have a video showing what we would need to do head tracking?
In the works.
That was amazing.
Thanks, cheers!
This WAS exhilarating you’re right 😂 awesome video!
No G sickness future fighters love this
Very cool!! Nice flying too!!👍🙋♂️🖖🏻
Thanks, cheers!
so freaking cool!
Very cool. Seems like this could be done even better with a 360 camera. Wouldn’t need servos for camera movement, just software to control which pixels get sent back to your goggles.
Easier said then done. Do you know of a 360 camera that transmits and displays in goggles with low latency (
Very cool 😮😮😮
🙏😊
Now time for the BB guns with AP rounds! so cool this is a dream for someone who has been playing war thunder for so long.
Right?! Can be a little more thrilling since crashing has consequence ;-)
so incredible!!!!!!! love it
Thanks, cheers!
