Stew can I have a fpv goggle which you don't use. Man I definitely can't afford it. I'm a great fan of yours. Watched all your videos and am absolutely into fpv. My parents aren't letting me buy the goggles only. So if you have anything that you don't use, please bro.
TRAPPY GRANDDADDY OF FPV? That title should belong to Denis Gratton AKA "VRFLYER" from Quebec.... New FPV generation have no idea that as a forum group of few people, we started doing FPV back in 2001 - 2002. Actually the first FPV was done back in 1989 by Carl Berry from Texas. Trappy does it to promote his business.
@@Voidroamer Sorry I'm quite new in this, I'd like to understand the video setup here. I would say : - The overlayed 16/9 video when there is no telemetry is directly from gopro (4:56) - Video with telemetry. The telemetry from the crossfire is added to the video by an OSD on the cruiser, probably the TBS Core pnp PRO? Then the video sent directly by 5.8Ghz radio to : * white fatshark video is from the ClearView Receiver (around 6:52). The "5760" seems to be added by ClearView. And the Clearview AV signal seems to go to Trappy's white fatshark, which has no 5.8GHz antennas * green fatshark video is directly from fatshark AV receiver (7:49). the google has 5.8GHz antennas, and the video has no more "5760" Is it correct? So we don't know why the AV receiver was switched from the ground station to the fatshark goggles. Could it be that the ground station setup was failing? Or it's just simpler to use the google directly?
Awesome! trappy is an amazing icon in the hobby, and tbs has pioneered in every aspect of the hobby(low kv, cheap frames, radio link, wings, transmitters, etc)
I recently did a 780 metre flight with 200mw, and I refuse to push it without a home arrow and gps rth; even though i had crystal clear video i was afraid of straying from the reach of the patch antenna.
For 2.5yrs of flying, ONE component that has remained throughout, and although updated it is still essentially the same as the first one I used, I'd argue that the 5v Unify Pro has been the most significant and successful of the airborne components in fpv. Full stop. Cheers TBS, beers are on me
Stu this video is amazing! This is one of the best fpv videos I have seen on UA-cam in a long while. It is a good mix of numbers and educational material along with good hunar and fun! Thanks for this it made my morning!
Great video. Still have a half built Caipi that I need to finish. Nice to see a demonstration of what the gear can do. The giddy nervous demeanor of the host had me wanting to leg sweep him at times, but overall a good session.
Its because the first ones aint his.... They probably just wanna make the fatshark advertising ;) Hard to see its fatsharks with his own colour scheme hahaha
I own a few TBS VTX and have more faith in those Vtx more than anything i got. I cant wait until i get my hands on the crossfire! Awesome video love to see more on TBS
F***ng AWESOME!!! AT the rate of how drones are developing--I am excited at what technology and features will be around in just 2-3 YEARS! (IT used to be 10 years). With my Parrot, I'm literally flying over 500' buildings--looking down. It's a total shock and wonder. If you are a Cessna owner and cannot fly for whatever reason. Here is your alternative. That last guy was right: "an adrenaline ride the whole way." I will post some if my clips later!👍👍👍☻☻☻☻
Its sad because the legislation will kill the hobby, for instance i bet there was like 4-5 FAA infractions, in this video. But guess as long as you do not post stuff online and crash your wing/done into a police car with the go pro on you should be ok.
Trappy hasn't aged since his TBS Discovery days. He's a Rockstar. And the reason why I bought my first TBS Discovery years ago. Thanks for sharing Stewart. Happy Holidays to you and your family 🙏
great video stu!! its just awesome to see pilots coming together from all across the world to meetup and fly. TBS gear is top notch and really inspires confidence in your long range and even your short range flying if you are flying behind a lot of obstacles or bandos. When are we going to see you build and fly a long range quad setup? Like maybe a crossfire 7"!! keep up the great work!!
He’s actually an asshole in real life and he actually has a very cute name his enemies have coined for him IE “Trappy the clown” HA HA HA HA , fits him like a glove
Make a more in depth vid about all those telemetry features like signal/noise etc.. and how to use them. It seems Trappy is the only one who knows how to really use them for long range flight on UA-cam! I could not really make out precisely how he was using them to gauge allowable distance?
Well that was exciting wondering if it was coming back. Love that TBS gear! I need that TBS Crossfire diversity except that it is the size of a Toyota Hilux.
What sattelite lost model beacon system was he running? I know they are pretty common in GPS units sold to hikers.... and I've seen them for RC but it's been quite a while. I always kind of skimmed passed them because they required a subscription fee. Plus they only work well if you got a clear line of sight to the sky. In a pond or forest or in a city alley between buildings... not so much so.
Trappy was dropping tidbits of LR knowledge in this.. I sure would love to see a series from him where he drops all this LR stuff. I just started flying quads LR and would love to learn more about it especially in relation to signal do's and dont'ts and stuff like that.
yeah the way he was doing the maths and explaining it was awesome to watch in person. even though he is super chilled he is extremely knowledgeable and really knows his long range stuff
@@UAVfutures Yeah mate I hate the maths...which is why I would love a video of him explaining this stuff so I can watch it over and over to make it stick :)
super easy to do. no holding a button and plugging in the battery with a 3rd hand to bind, automatic rx updates in seconds w/ no passthrough wired nonsense and changing settings with the click of a button
Doug Moody No, at least not in the USA. Euro glider dudes seem to use it, but I’ve never heard of, or seen a flarm receiver at least in an American small aircraft. (Am a pilot, own an aircraft)
His quick calculations were highly impressive. Yeah, he's got tons of experience. But I was impressed. Stretch that rubber band Trappy. Mountain wave can go many times the height of the mountain. The glider altitude record is 76,000 ft. Pressure suit territory!
Always funny how people react on their first long range experience :D I just started with it too… first tests at 2-3km. Then maxed out at 4.9 with my FlySky i6. Got a taranis now with X8R receiver and my recod now is 11.2km. It is always an adrenalin rush when watching the battery go down on the way back :D
Farmer Fpv yes, very, I have some grey in my beard and a spring in my step. I've really got to learn to be careful where I tread when taking a shortcut through the scrapyard behind the paint factory ;)
Such an awesome flight, awesome place and awesome people. Cheers TBS and Trappy.
You know you've made it Stew . When you get to meet the legendary Trappy . Well done.

Trappy: "Its getting a bit noisy"
*DVR feed is pure static*
I'm sure that is DVR from UAVfutures. Which looked like his patch was 90degrees to where the wing was 😂
rofl my thoughts exactly. a bit sad we didnt get to see that ground station's DVR
@@Voidroamer can u explain what thats means im trying to understand fpv long range

Holy Sweet Baby Jesus...that was interesting. I am saving up for a Crossfire immediately.
i flew over water for a full session last week, i was home for about an hour and two cups of tea before i unpuckered.
Look at the grin on Trappys face. Nice work boys!!!
Awesome! trappy is an amazing icon in the hobby, and tbs has pioneered in every aspect of the hobby(low kv, cheap frames, radio link, wings, transmitters, etc)
Love watching the blokey think. Ready to support Stewart Go Aussie. TBS fan
top notch as ever!!!. Long range is such an addiction, its the best adrenaline rush period!
5:10 Trappy, your google strap! That’s a bad day waiting to happen right there.
OutaTime FPV omg i just saw that!
Yup. Not what you want when your a few miles out
I totally caught that as well..was like WTF..come awn bro...LOL
different fatshark on 7.33 sec. so i think he ran in to the problem you pointed out.
I was obsessing about that too, lol
This is one of the coolest videos I’ve seen on here ! I’m just getting into it there is so much to learn it all very high tech!
Dude, that was so much fun man!!! 👍👍👍 BTW: I remember Trappy once telling me there is no need for RTH 😂😂
I recently did a 780 metre flight with 200mw, and I refuse to push it without a home arrow and gps rth; even though i had crystal clear video i was afraid of straying from the reach of the patch antenna.
I flew 2.5K with no rth. Playing risky

Thanks for this it made my morning!
I want to get into long range sometime soon, you should try to set some long range gear up your self!
Great video. Still have a half built Caipi that I need to finish. Nice to see a demonstration of what the gear can do. The giddy nervous demeanor of the host had me wanting to leg sweep him at times, but overall a good session.
Great, crazy and amazing! Congratulations!
Enjoyed that, good to see trappy enjoying it and having confidence in his gear. Had all steps covered. Glad you all had fun.
I seen his white fatsharks strap...about to fall off ...then in the next frame he had green fatsharks on
Haha! Your right. At 7:33
Its because the first ones aint his.... They probably just wanna make the fatshark advertising ;) Hard to see its fatsharks with his own colour scheme hahaha
I’m gonna assume it has to do with the fpv antenna configuration.
Wings don't land, they crash.
so that was a good landing? I was like ..ouch..
They do both really... sort of a crash-landing
Great video with Trappy at the wheel! Crossfire for the win!
This is bad ass.I want one year!!!!
Hahah i build FLARM and ADSB Products in my all day job. Its funny to hear you use it for RC Flying. Nice Vid thx.
@@BigMassiveWeiner In a simple answer, they are both tech/devices planes use to see each other on a radar or screen. Helps avoid mid air collisions
not an ignorant question also
@@nmnmnm35 Flight Level Alert Module???
So fun! Thank you Stu and Trappy! Keep it up!
This is so cool Stew makes me wanting to get back into wings, Thanks for the show.
That Trappy guy is cool. Has tons of info and seems passionate about sharing it.
Trappy is one chilled character 😎 Awesome video *Stew* 💥👌👍
moral of that story is when you loose video signal, 12:10 " just hold your radio up and have faith" lmfao
great video guys. always a treat!
A day flying with Trappy😎 but "if we was in China we would be running about now" 🤣
Excellent!. Thank guys for that video.
Diggin the black paint job on that TBS Tango! I love that thing
I own a few TBS VTX and have more faith in those Vtx more than anything i got. I cant wait until i get my hands on the crossfire! Awesome video love to see more on TBS

No even going to lie. You get what you pay for with CrossFire.
I love my long range flights.
I just fitted a Aomway 1000mw 5.8ghz to my MTD with a pagoda to go with a 7 turn helical and moxon antenna on my UHF

I wonder why Stew even bothers with a patch antenna sometimes. We're flying North so I'll point my patch West.
im just trying to fit in with the cool kids
@@UAVfutures LOL I'm glad you are all enjoying yourselves.
MIND COMPLETELY BLOWN..!!
"It's like a rubber band.. just gotta loosen it up" 😅
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Wow....!!! Just fantastic.
ow that ethix strap :) about to slingshot out of there
in 3, 2, 1... SNAP
trinco bro where have u vanished 😋 any more videos coming from ur way? Drag wan out
Loved this video , super cool Trappy 👍👍
What a guy he is 😀
is this still the best long range wing setup? has crossfire improved? better batteries? ive been out for years , impressed caipiriha still rocking!
Trappy. what a legend...
pokiou He is a old news.
He’s actually an asshole in real life and he actually has a very cute name his enemies have coined for him IE “Trappy the clown” HA HA HA HA , fits him like a glove

I would love a video about this as well!
true... no real explenation
Very good show! Cheers!
Great video. You forgot to put your onscreen links at the end. Took me a second to figure out why you were tapping your table...
I can't take anymore of that guy's voice! Technically impressive video tho.
Believe me, you were not the only one...
The only downside vs a parrot disco wing is?
You cant flightplan on tbs, but you can do it on parrot disco and now much better with LTE signal
WOW amazing flight. Thanks for sharing. Happy Flying
that moment where he says " are you gonna launch, have you launched before?.... " oOH man.
i know lol
A lot of “I think we Will be ok in this video”. Edge of seat stuff man! Awesome
Man I need some of those goggles they make you smart AF. Awesome video great job
Cool guys I like it a lot .
Bro, I love the Honey sticks, and I also pinch with them ! hahahaha
Haha loved it! Love some of the new technology you’ve got on-board there Trappy! Cheers guys
Amazing kit there! TBS is epic!
What videos are you pointing at 16:46 - 17:05?
It's amazing how far these things could go now
Favorite comment..”let see what happens”👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I was like RIP plane... i don't think long range is my thing. I'll watch the vids :D
That guy is a genius
Trappys the man
Great to see Raphael still enjoying testing the limits :)
I love longrange. This was like in the old days.
Very cool! Would really like to see more about the flarm compared to ADS-B here in the States. Love my TBS gear!
TRAPPY the man !!!!!
That was so kool! I love my wings!!! Cheers!!!
Sketch factor 10 on that launch!
How insane! What a boss!
The little guy found his way home :D
So cool!
Have you ever sent a Quadcopter up to 400' with a repeater to see how much range you would gain?
Well that was exciting wondering if it was coming back. Love that TBS gear! I need that TBS Crossfire diversity except that it is the size of a Toyota Hilux.
