[AlaskaRC] Fw: Future RC

[Doug Franklin]

I’ve got a TBS Discovery fitted with a GoPro, small video camera, Spektrum 2.4 GHz Rx, and a 5.8 GHz video Tx, which are matched to some Skyshark goggles. Also have the Flamewheel F450, without any video/camera gear. Its effective video range seems to be a bit less than a mile, dependent on altitude and attitude. Effective RC range is likely much much greater. It’s carrying the DJI last-gen flight control unit, which has a pretty reliable return to launch feature, which I can trigger with a switch on the Tx, or will automatically engage upon loss of signal from the Tx. 

 

Be happy to demo and/or turn the controls over to David for a trial, but am not due back in AK until May.

 

Doug

Im thinking of building one. I would need to acquire at least the following

 

A 2.4Ghz 6+ channel radio Tx/Rx

Flight Controller + GPS

Electronic Speed Controllers

Electric Motors & Props

Soldering Kit

Circuit Board Camera (FPV)

5.8Ghz Video Txr/Txr & goggles or small screen display

 

Have you heard of people putting UHF modules into their transmitters and receivers for long range?
