1.53 miles at below 400 feet. Probably could go further if higher in altitude. I was using a flight controller with return to home so I pushed it to its limit.
Hi Gary , it sounds like you might be coming from the world of drones? I only say this because you use the phrase “FPV air unit” With airplanes and wings, you use a airplane specific receiver, that the servos and ESC get plugged into. The FPV system is completely separate and consists of the camera, VTX and antenna. A lot of video transmitters are voltage sensitive, in that case you will have to make sure that you are using a 5V voltage source. If the VTX can run between 7 and 24 V, you do not have to worry about that aspect of wiring up your video. I hope this helps 😉👍
@@Gordon-Scott Thanks for the reply. No, fixed-wing only for me. The RunCam FPV kit I have on order consists of a camera and the video transmitter which is what I called the air unit. It has 6 wires. 1 for power, 2 ground wires and 3 that are to be connected to a flight controller - which I don't have. I generally have a balance lead from the battery that supplies 5V and ports on the receiver that also supply 5v.
Hey Tony it’s a blast! On the full sized wing I can get about 10 to 12 minutes on a 2200 3s flying at half throttle, about 52 miles an hour. The mini wing is set up for sub 250 gr. I have my DX9 all set up for crossfire, waiting for Christmas 😁
Really nice chasing action footage! Thumbs up! 👍
Thank you Mr Smith 😉 trying to make a “range test” video a little more enjoyable. 🙂
Beautiful sky, nice fpv view ! Not that shaky for mini wing ! Good flight :)
Thank you. Careful editing and no wind 😉 Most of the time shaky like you would expect from a little wing but a lot of fun when conditions are good 👍
How much range did you get with this AR410 receiver?

Hello and thanks for sharing this. How do you wire your FPV air unit when using a Spektrum receiver?

@@gleeloyd can you give me a link for that kit?
This looks like so much fun. What's the flight time on that wing? I'm assuming you could set this up with crossfire?
