Aircraft modeling - FPV or feel like a bird
This is another post from my holiday (and, as it turned out, for many nostalgic) series of articles on aircraft modeling:
Aircraft modeling - the beginning of a long journey
Aircraft modeling - the first model
In this article I want to tell you about such an exciting lesson as flying a plane on a camera installed on board.
I must say that I have a small experience in my FPV, just two pancake flights around the airport, so comments and corrections from more experienced pilots are welcome.
So, flying around the camera starts, naturally, from an airplane. In principle, the camera can be put on almost any aircraft. Usually, airplanes with an electric motor are used to fly around the camera, because the internal combustion engine vibrates quite strongly and it is not very convenient to control the aircraft in a constantly shaky picture. Cameras are usually put on coaches or gliders - easier to fly and stable in flight. In addition to the cameras themselves, sometimes telemetry sets are installed on the aircraft, which transmit to the pilot all the necessary information about the flight: altitude, speed, direction (compass), charge of the onboard battery, aircraft position relative to the horizon line.
The telemetry data is superimposed on the image and as a result it looks like this:
Generally speaking, the appearance depends on the trickyness of the kit and the hands of the person who installed / configured / programmed it.
Usually one of the transmitter channels is programmed to rotate the camera to the right or left, or the rotation of the camera is mixed, for example, with the rudder.
On the ground, the pilot controls the aircraft in this image. Usually fly in video glasses:
In each of the eyes there is a small screen that shows a picture from the camera.
It turns out almost complete immersion in flight - therefore, a plane with glasses, usually sitting, is controlled; if you stand, seasickness begins.
')
Also sometimes fly around the screen, like this:
For transmitting video signals, transmitters are generally used 0.9, 1.2 or 2.4Ghz. Depending on the range of radio control equipment (so that there is no mutual interference) and the required range.
In general, this is all that I know about FPV.
And now the video:
Flying over the dam in France.
Pair flight:
Flying in the clouds:
By the way, while picking up a video for the topic, I came across such an interesting thing:
Telemetry Tracker for iPhone, displays on the map the current position of the aircraft and telemetry information:
