I think you should convert your old r9m to elrs. You will be surprised by the results. 17 km at 100 mw with full telemetry at 108db on one antenna and 100db on the other (it is supposed to fail safe at 120db :P)
I run the SIYI lrs (with 2.4 lora) and my rssi doesn't drop below 100 until I reach 16km, With receivers weighing just a couple of grams and dirt cheap it's hard to go back to UHF now... totally spoiled.
Well... we will see... so far I do like how my R9M works, so not eager to try and ruin it yet! :) @Alasdair And talking about SIYI... :P Just got a nice HD video system from them, will be testing it soon! Hope it does better than the rest of the Chinese stuff!
@@ArxangelRC Great, I was also promised one for my RCG support of their gear and to do a blog build with it, but I'm guessing now it probably won't eventuate, although I look forward to seeing the results. Cheers.
Yeah, is pressive, i have one with express lrs. Only one problem (and is caused by me) in the past i used flex at 1w (with the mode that change the power when is needed) without coling for a year, now the module randomly lose connection because of that. Completly my fault :( i already bought a 2,4 ghz betafpv tx because I will probably buy some mini qwads.
Well 868Mhz is legal for hobby use in the EU, so I doubt there would be some lift equipment on that frequency. In any case, a recent test with the receiver power moved over to the servo rail did show that it was probably a lack of power issue. :)
What an amazing looking mountain range. It had my attention from the bringing of the video, as you preparing to launch. Do hope you can revisit this location in future. ♥😎👍👍 Your voltage regulator theory sounds very plausible. Wonder if you could add a current sensor just for the DragonLink? Cound record as blackbox data, or maybe enable in telemetry. This would let you monitor what is happening realtime.
I can add a power sensor for it alone, but no point! I lowered the output power of the receiver to 10mW and also moved it over to the servo rail and had no more issues with the RSSI, so I guess that theory was proven to be correct! :)
Great video, love this channel and the narration. Wish I knew what you are talking about. I have some catching up to do. The hobby left me behind in 1993
Hello, it's a nice video... The view is wonderful. Could you please share the full parameters for me? to be able to work with my own system. Thanks....
@@ArxangelRC actually there is not much of a problem, I just have trouble taking off, I give the take off angle 18 degrees and the height 100m, I put it in take off mode, but it crashes and stalls on take off, I'm tired of repairing it every time... so I wondered where I was doing wrong... thanks for the answer I do
Beautiful footage! Thank you for posting. Back to the drawing board!
Thanks mate, appreciate it! Good luck in your endeavors!
good to see you enjoying it a little more
:) Oh yeah! :)

@@alasdair4161 Well I certainly hope I didn't get your unit! :S

Love your videos Arx.
Thanks, much appreciated! :)
I have had zero problems with Dragonlink 433, but have had issues with the 900 system.
Interesting, but in any case, I figured out what the problem was and it was sorted out for the next flight! :)
Really nice fpv video footage. This is awesome 👍
Thank you! :)
@@ArxangelRC my pleasure, greetings from indonesia my friend 🇮🇩
@@MasboyRC Right back at you mate! :)
beautiful.
Thank you! :)
you might also find that there's also some 868 telemetry radios up there for the ski lifts, the trick would be, get closer and try another 868 plane

I like the white pro. Looks sick 😎🤙
Yeah, my thoughts exactly!
Top Footage 👍
Thanks! :)

Haha, thanks mate! You will catch up, its not that hard! :)

What is the problem with your system? I think I am running pretty much default ardu params... unless I've done the autotune, which I can't recall!

@@mehmetizzetkose2488 OK, how do you throw it? Have you tried the overhead throw like I am doing it in my videos?
Very interesting RE Dragon link beta firmware! Great video as usual
Thank you! :)
I like the bottom view from your friends glider imma mount a camera just like that ASAP
Haha, nice! :)
your friend has a 4m glider as an fpv long range machine???
Well... wasn't long range until this flight really! He is kinda scared to fly it properly! :P
If you're not on ELRS you're missing out.
I might try it at some point! :)
Dragon link better than crossfire?
Do not have Crossfire, so cannot comment!
If you need constant telemetry, yes. Otherwise, no.
@@itsallsobothersome4537 Right...
You lost me at rssi
RSSI is the Receiver Signal Strength Indicator, showing the link quality between the radio module and the receiver on the plane.
