    You guys do all the things I dreamed of doing with RC, and then some. Keep it coming. It is fantastic.

    • @MasterMayhem78
      @MasterMayhem78 8 років тому

      Yes you do. For about $400 you can purchase the Nano QX FPV w/ Fatshark headset. That would be the cheapest most easy way to get started. Only a 25mw VTx but it's enough to get your foot in the door. Best money I've ever spent. Now I'm hooked. I just ordered a Vortex 250 pro. Time for an upgrade for me.

    Famous last words... "Yeah, it'll be fine." Right up there with "I can make that jump", "This battery's got one more flight in it", and "Hold my beer, watch this!" :)

    I don't know the name of the quadrotor cameraman, but he deserves some serious respect for flying chase and maintaining decent camera angles simultaneously. I'd love to see an episode showcasing his setup and flight style with tips. Love it.

  • @paulshewmaker4568
    @paulshewmaker4568 8 років тому

    That scream is a Red-tailed Hawk, otherwise known as the voice artist for every bird of prey in every screen production ever. "Survivor" once dubbed this call over a shot of a Wedge-tailed Eagle in Australia. He just dropped by to provide the voiceover for the Mini Arrow.

    To anyone still watching this in 2020, I have, with my arrow just like that one, basically dive bombed full throttle into the ground and broke the wing IN HALF like 3 times and just glued and taped it back and it still flys great

  • @AlexJoneses
    @AlexJoneses 8 років тому

    Please do a video where you guys have either a large cargo plane, the helicarrier, or anything else like a large multi rotor,where you load a few mini fpv quads on (like 3-5) and you go on a mission with it. Also videos with apm 2.6 and fpv planes on long missions would be really cool!

  • @EdibleOutdoors

  • @RCShufty
    @RCShufty 8 років тому

    You really needed a helical for the woods, would have helped a great deal :D I almost spat my coffee out when the wing gave itself a high five! Also, great flying at the end there Alex!

    • @MasterMayhem78
      @MasterMayhem78 8 років тому

      True. You really do need a helical when using a short range, low power VTx.

  • @EvertonLeiteC

    I love flite test it's one of my favourite channels, I was just wondering not sure about the other viewers but I would love if the videos were in 4K your videos are always in nice sceneries and you guys always seem to have high end cameras and 4K go pros. Anyone else agree? I'm not sure if many people still have 4k displays but some people have 1440p phones and monitors would be nice with that extra resolution. Just a suggestion.

  • @djDTOUR
    @djDTOUR 8 років тому +2

    Were your antennas matched? I get some mad static and not much distance when I use the wrong polarization receiver antenna with that micro rig. I need to go back and watch your video on cloverleafs, but I want to say I stuck with RHCP up until I got the Quanum elite micro vtx, which seems to be LHCP. Please chime in and correct me if I'm completely wrong.

  • @fullthrottlerc8324
    @fullthrottlerc8324 8 років тому

  • @phildawe7172
    @phildawe7172 8 років тому +4

    i really enjoyed that guys. I've a simple idea for you guys... an episode where you attempt to rescue an item attached to helium baloons that is flying away. you rescue it by flying a multi-rotor "through": the top of some of the baloons before it ascends too high into the sky. the baloons pop and the item; (say a stuffed toy or something of no value) is "saved". "hooray". ideally you would want to not hit any strings with the quad or it might crash. (if it is possible to fly a quad through helium baloons at speed and not crash, that would be look cool) just a idea i had. sure you've a a stack of em. keep up the great work.

    @ChaosLichen 8 років тому

    I've had exactly the same thing happen with my mini arrow! I crashed it once, dusted it off and everything looked fine, about 10 seconds into the next flight, the wings start flapping and it comes down. I've connected the wings across the body with packing tape to give them some more rigidity, but I haven't battle tested that solution yet.
