hi Andy, if your after a simple fc/stabiliser the Zohd Kopilot is a great option as it has a simple launch mode/ RTH. works wonders in my ar wing and i'm a total noob when it comes to rc planes
Nice! You know you've watched many, many Andy vids when you can instantly find out where you are by spotting the cows on the ground. Cowrientation as it were.
Perfectly executed formation flight. Hint: for position-calling I would suggest the 'o clock method, next time. I.e.: "five o clock low" would mean slightly lower on the right side a bit behind. Makes orientation easier - like they do it with the 1:1 ships. :-)
can you hook up a flight controller to the conditioner plug on the battery then to the dji unit? or could you use a Y adapter from the battery to the FC
Hi there, does your fpv unit transmit sound too? or just video? Have you found a way to also retrieve telemetry from your flight controller and pump that into OSD?
Awesome, Andy! Thanks a lot for all the tips! 😃 There's a guy on UA-cam that sometimes flies an airplane with 2 motors on the wings... I forgot the models name, but his channel is called bonafidepirate. It's a fantastic airplane, because the prop doesn't get in the way! 😃 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Nice job guys. That dji system looks heavy. I fly my planes fpv too but with very light weight fpv systems. Just a camera on one servo for pan. Attached to a micro vtx on its own 1s battery. Also just a fraction of the cost compared to a dji system. Awesome video and great flying guys!
@@AndyRCchannel To bad i dont have pic's of building in. its pretty straight forward though. just solderd 2 wires to the bullet conector inside the goggles. ( searched for a tear down of the goggles on youtube ) removed front plate becouse i planned using th crystal clear patch antenna and slide in the arduino nano 33-ble (coverd in headschrink) between the 2 displays. I used 2 arduino nano boards, 1 in my goggles and 1 in my receiver. ua-cam.com/video/IuWu_wMI1c8/v-deo.html You can also use 1 board but then you have all the wires hanging everywhere again. Nice thing of arduino nano 33-ble its a all in one board. its onley 2 wires to solder in the goggles (power and ground) and 5 in my transmitter. (power, ground 2x, ppm out, and i used a switch to reset center) the ppm out you can also solder to a trainer cable if you dont want to install in the radio. it uses bleuthooth to connect to eachother. Remember thoug the arduino can work from 4.5v to max 21v. so dont conect it to a 6s battery.(although if i remember corectly max4s for the dji goggles anyway) Here you can see it working. ua-cam.com/video/-gFIgKe5JLU/v-deo.html And here my firsth testflight before building into a fpv jet ua-cam.com/video/HnqiKZL74jM/v-deo.html also links for the arduino setup in discription of the last clip. I can defently recomend building in. its so much nicer to use now. and less things to think off. power on goggles and transmitter if needed flip a switch for reset and go , no more extra battery's for goggles or pulling a wire in a accedent. Last note, you can use the nano ble with 3.3volt but you have to cut a trace on the board, and when uploading you need to power the board. stock you can use usb onley for programming. If i can build it in every one can. 2 left hands and no elektronic knowlage XD Sorry for my bad english, Greetings from the Netherlands
How small could you make this setup in the cockpit just out of curiosity? Maybe 3d print a mount? I'm thinking make the camera tilt setup as small as possible that way you can get some cockpit instrument stickers in frame too. Maybe get one of these in a warbird!
I have never used a fc in a plane as you said it gets complicated and Flys great though looking into a head tracker once I get to my new country of work as where I live rc planes are a pain and can not get a permit.
I would like to do this to one of my planes. I have one question though. I would like to use the DJI O3 FPV unit for my camera, and i was wondering if all i had to do to power it was to have it plugged into the balance lead. Do i need anything else or is that it?
@@AndyRCchannel so what flight controller should I get and would that have to fully replace my receiver? Or should I just get the camera that you have to have that plugged directly into the balance lead?
The company "3M" have a special kind of velcro called "Dual Lock" and it has abolsutely no play in it whatsoever because both sides have hard-ish plastic barbs (instead of barbs and wooly stuff on the normal velcro). That would sort out any wobbles if you didn't want to permanently glue your headtracker.
BRILLIANT flight! Thank you so much for sharing to the Hobby such expertise! Your the best Andy! Can't wait to hear you play again! I loved your music! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💙💙💙💙 Mikey
Im trying to surprise my father for his birthday with an fpv system for his rc edf jet. We already got him the Dji Goggles V2 and a dji O3 air unit. Im just not sure how we are going to supply power to the air unit inside his edf jet. If anyone has any help we would really appreciate it as his bday is right around the corner.
Yep Brilliant, my skills are't there yet. Dream of doing this with a quadcopter. Flying at 90 degrees tis the next mini quad cinemtic challenge. Getting a shot and seeing where your going. Yeah yeah big challenge AND why not sub 250. Aiming for the skyzone 04's (analogue) with built in head tracker, could you improve my journey and help my wallet; either way i will endevour eventually. Fun fun fun :-)
Why doesn't someone make a unit like this that's low drag?...Take a gyro gimbal turret like the NextVision Colibri and mount it at the nose, its long axis pointed forward.
@@AndyRCchannel You may be right, but if I had the money to spare, I'd give it a try even though there may appear to be not enough interest...sometimes you have to do something first before enough interest appears. Mounting these on things like jets or the plane in this vid that already have pathetically low L/D ratios isn't going to change their L/D's by many percent, but if you want to carry something on a much higher L/D airplane, say especially a glider-sailplane, it's a massive drop in L/D and that's a travesty for an airplane like that, not too mention how absolutely ugly it looks.

I’m really enjoying these FPV video’s. I was a RC model pilot and builder in the 80’s. We could only dream about this stuff. Well done, hat off!
yes people dont know they are born eh. maybe one day they will catch up with this
Me too! I did RC in the 80's also and feel the same way. Hopefully I can make an fpv plane soon.
Nice!
You know you've watched many, many Andy vids when you can instantly find out where you are by spotting the cows on the ground.
Cowrientation as it were.
Love these head tracking videos these are great! Thank you Andy RC for this video
You're getting right into fixed wing now, loving it.
This is fantastic, well done! There is something strange about the out of body experience we get with seeing ones self from the air whilst flying fpv.

Now that was very baddass flying you guys pulled off there also cool FPV set up you have hook up there too Andy!
So I see the links,,, gotta build it myself huh? Man I'm lazy now , wish I could just buy a plug and play... hmm... great to see you again Andy
I have a very similar setup on my fms super cub and I love it, and having inav has some big advantages
Love this simple setup, not everything needs a FC.
Yeah it seems like everyone has forgotten how to fly without an fc lately. Lol
keep the fixed wing stuff coming Andy!
Fantastic idea , adds to the hobby. Well done .great footage.
Hi, may I know how you connected the different wires on the air unit to make it work
Andy on your attachment to the goggles you might want to try 3M Dual Lock. Similar to Velcro but connections have very little wiggle.
Brilliant. So much to be said for keeping it simple. Thanks for sharing. ♥️
Excelente video. Pregunta: ¿Se puede hacer esto en TBS tango 2 y DJI fpv goggles? Gracias
Very very good demo you pair, the cam work goodO . that cad cam magic too.
That’s mental. Come a long way, huh?
Have to admit, it’s funny at the end seeing guys sitting in a field with goggles on 😂
can you hook up a flight controller to the conditioner plug on the battery then to the dji unit? or could you use a Y adapter from the battery to the FC

yes but the video quality cannot beat DJI digital
i build my arduino headtracker in my dji goggles just behind the front face plate. works like a champ no wires dangling no drift at all
Nice got any pics?

nice vid. but i did not understand the button on the headtracker device. it's supposed to center, but it doesnt. does it?
Yes it recenters for like if you have changed seating position. And if it's not doing that. Most likely got the switched wired up wrong
I have never used a fc in a plane as you said it gets complicated and Flys great though looking into a head tracker once I get to my new country of work as where I live rc planes are a pain and can not get a permit.

O3 needs a flight controller it doesn't output full power unless it receives an arm command
@@AndyRCchannel so what flight controller should I get and would that have to fully replace my receiver? Or should I just get the camera that you have to have that plugged directly into the balance lead?
The company "3M" have a special kind of velcro called "Dual Lock" and it has abolsutely no play in it whatsoever because both sides have hard-ish plastic barbs (instead of barbs and wooly stuff on the normal velcro). That would sort out any wobbles if you didn't want to permanently glue your headtracker.
Yeah it's used on the plane to secure down the FC. It's just I like the nesness of the wireless headtacker

It would be an amazing experience if somehow you could sit in a cockpit that mimicked the movement on the video.
So much fun!!!

I use a quadcopter F4 flight controller with a 9v bec
wow thanks!
I need a phil. 😂 where can I buy one as need one. You are lucky to have a phil. 😅😂😂

Is an Arduino Nano 33 BLE all that is needed for the DIY?
yep :)
Painless 360 has some good recent videos about diy head tracker.
@@RollnHeavyKevy cool, thanks :)
I’ve said this before, I wish I had a Phil.
All props need balancing Andy, especially big ones like the one you are using....
this makes want to get back into rc flying. Flying in the 3rd person gets boring.
Very C@@L! Thanks Y'alls
Why doesn't someone make a unit like this that's low drag?...Take a gyro gimbal turret like the NextVision Colibri and mount it at the nose, its long axis pointed forward.
Not enough interest. A niche within a niche. I have these on jets and don't notice any extra drag
