like that aaahh ..
wait laa .. tonite i try to take some pics of my planes and heli .. hahahaha

i not sifoo laa ... please laa
i just trying to pass on what i know only

no pylon racer laa ... just small little foam/plastic little thing very similar to pylon style
just that it cannot go that fast ... the wings are fluttering ... cannot take so much force when i whack the throttle ... it is SMALL ... even 2200mah 3S go in oso ngam ngam only ... rx and esc put outside the plane

currently only got mustang .. zero .. speedy fast glider .. funjet .. cloudsfly .. little pylon .. others all WIP or in box .. hehehehe
ooopps ... forgot i got 450PRO and 4G6S oso ... huahahahahaa

these are the 2 helis that i currently have remaining ...



this one of my EX PLANES ... sold off liau

Added on November 19, 2010, 1:34 pmthis one ... damm fast ... overpowered to over 200kmh .. hehehehe
somebody destroyed this plane liau ... not me la of coz




this one my 1st CCPM heli ... oso the heli i really learned on .. oso SOLD OFF liau

DO NOT BUY THIS HELI !!!!
things will come flying off by itself even if u dont crash it .. hahahahahaa
i traded it off with someone else coz NOBODY wants to BUY ...

this is a video of the heli i asked u guys not to buy ..
the gyro u see hovering in this video is about the same price as the KIT alone
this is in AUG 2009 ... i started flying in JUNE 2009




this is the 4G3 in bedroom ... damm bloody bad hovering .. hahahahahaaa
sensitive little bugger

Added on November 19, 2010, 2:23 pmi have that in WIP
200mW 900mhz system .. but frequency will be set to around 1080mhz to avoid interference with our GSM 012/019 systems
currently working on the pan/tilt on plane ... after that will install antenna and stuff
already got CHEAP goggles ... watchable but of coz not HD quality laa .. hahahahaa
this is the reason i bought the CLOUDSFLY glider ... long flight time and stable handsfree ... hehehehe

Added on November 19, 2010, 2:26 pmjust fly when u have the time laa ... i oso losing the "keen ness" on this hobby
i spoke to LHS owner yesterday ... he said if u hardcore too much too fast then have to give it a break otherwise the fire will die ... hahahahhaaa

i fly approximately 4-5 times a week ... maybe thats why laaa

Added on November 19, 2010, 2:43 pmsorry ah .. i very bad flyer ... no recent videos ... only got vids of my early days hover hover ... hahahahahaaa

well ... u can start here http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/u...idProduct=12175
all u have to add is CAMERA which u can get locally or import as well laaa
nobody said FPV was cheap .. but it does not have to be super expensive if u just want starter set with limitations laa

the weight is no problem for your cloudsfly laaa
why pay so much when u an get this for much much much lesser .. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/u...idproduct=10973
the only thing u need to change is a higher class microSD coz the one that comes with the cam not fast enuff writing and will cause jitter

any prop more than 1 inch is very OK laaa ... no problems
if u crash head 1st then 10inch off the ground oso cannot help u .. hahahaha

video quality is very good ... i have that thing but i did not change the microSD so the capture is abit jittery .. all u have to do is change the microSD so that it can record faster
format is AVI RAW ... very big file 640x480pixels
but of coz no stereo sound la ... MONO only ... hahahaha
dunno where else to buy laa ... it is oso known as MD80 on other brands .. google and see the comments ... quite good comments for the price

u look at the main rotor diameter laaa ... 970mm laaa ... 500 size already
but dunno why they call their main blades 315mm laaa .. i tot those china fellas very good at counting one .. huahahahahahaa
yaa ... the 4g6 damm kow nice to fly laa .. super good learner too

maybe they did not mention flight time is only 2 mins ?? hahahahaa
i think they have a lot of typos in that page laa

not yet invert my 4g6s ... have to find suitable mood and place .. hehehehe
dont wanna crash that thing yet
but i think it will be soon .........

waa ... mr zhnme ... alot of DIY stuff
good ahh ... can learn alot thru DIY
i oso DIY alot of mounts coz overpowered ... but never scratch build planes b4 laa

yalorr .. crashing and repairing more than flying is NOT GOOD at all
u need a heli that is consistent and flies well so that u will not crash it so easily

btw .. mr shock
if u wanna FPV
i see u asking the kwai lohs and the told u to dump your 2.4 radio .. hahahaha
u can still do 2.4 laaa .. just dont use 1.2-.13 coz of harmonics intereference
900 or 5.8 is ok ... preferably 900 coz u can set it to around 1G to not interfere with GSM phones
but u will have to learn to make those DIY good antennas and patch properly
i am now installing the pan and tilt into plane ... hopefully next couple of weeks can test test coz this weekend got new plane (another ZERO but different make) to maiden .. hehehehe

to each their own laaa .. BCP or TREX or BEAM or TITAN
as long as u learn something ..
i tot u are doing your own repairing ?? u send to shop to repair ??
very hard to learn the technical aspects if u always send to shop to learn .. and u will have trouble tuning your heli coz u dunno what the shop ppl do to your heli

by repairing on your own ..
u learn how to set up your heli properly and to your preference
and oso how to diagnose and troubleshoot problems ..
and u can save on part when u learn how to modify or use compatible or better quality part ...

i can only see the BEVRC link ... is there another link that u supposedly put ah ??
the BEVRC setup looks good .. abit pricey but still good and lots of good comments

ok ... here is the quick shortcut to FPV and frequencies PROs and CONs
i have done alot of reading the pass 2 months on FPV and radios and antennas etc etc

assuming u are keeping your JR with dsmJ
-higher frequencies can be easily blocked by obstacles like trees etc
imagine u are at a CLUB .. u dont hear the high frequencies coming out ... u just hear the low frequencies (BASS) mostly ... u get the rough idea laa
that is why the RCG fellas all telling u to throw away your 2.4 if u wanna FPV
-there is this thing call harmonics (like guitar chords) ... the frequencies tend to have this 1/2 wave and quarter wave thing which is quite pronounced ... enuff to kacau your other frequencies
so imagine 2.4ghz .. half wave is around 1.2ghz .. dont use 1.2ghz lorr .. 1.3ghz should be ok no probs
-if range is a problem then 1st consider modifying/upgrading your receiver antenna b4 increasing your transmitting power
there are quite a few threads by IBCRAZY in RCG on how to DIY your own antennas ... try with those stock whip ones 1st ... is not satisfied then can experiment
-antennas are directional ... the higher the dB the more directional it becomes (unless u just UP the POWER without changing any antennas la)
the OMNI (the whip antennas) have the best all round wave propagation but lacks the range unless u UP the POWER ... so alot of ppl tend to mod to the inverted V and/or upgrade receiver side to patch or other antennas

what i would advise u to do is ... get the BEVRC set
but go with 1.3 instead of 5.8 laa ... eventually u will wanna zoom down and do low passes and maybe cut thru trees etc etc (i know your taste la)
so a 1.3 setup will be more suitable for u ... hahahaha
on the viewing side ... get some cheap goggles 1st (i am doing this) for around usd150 delivered
or u can use any monitor with composite/RCA input
i noticed the BEVC set does not come with camera ... u will need one too
try to get wide angle lenses cams

if u have managed to read this far and understand what i am talking about ... then u are ready to commit ... hehehehe

the kwai lohs in RCG abit RICH in their talks coz USD is ez for them ... we have to pay 3 times more than what they pay ... so theings are not expensive for them

ok ... 1st of all
this one IMHO only laaaaa
get something CHEAP .. that BEVRC oso not bad .. not too expensive
then u will need a monitor or goggles ... this one u will have to decide your budget .. i am using CHEAP GOGGLES .. less than USD150 delivered to my doorstep
my system is the HK 200mW 900mhz .. it comes with camera as well so i just make do with this ..
basically i have everything i need for BASIC FPV

total cost .. USD200 only
this one is to see whether i will like or go any further into FPV

the amplitude/power of the Vtx is a factor for range .. but the heat and size of the higher power Vtx have to be considered
i have read in RCG the heat of high powered Vtx alone killed the Vtx

my plan is to mount the full system onto my CLOUDSFLY ... then somebody else will be viewing the goggles while i fly the plane normally
i will check with him how good the reception range etc
then i know how far i can go and whether or not to do some DIY upgrades

apparently with proper setup .. a 900mhz 200mW system can go 1-2km easily ... this is what i read at RCG laaa ... but thats with patch antennas etc etc

this guy is using the HK FPV set ... it includes camera .. see the quality for yourself http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread....=1292740&page=9
but his is a much higher powered one la .. 800mW ... mine is 200mW
picture quality look good .. mine oso looks quite good in my cheap goggles .. hahahaha

camera i dunno la .. that one i did not do much reading but most say those security CCTV ones very good
what will u be using to view ?? goggles or big screen ??
