Title: Some fun flying on the little Hornet wing
Post by: CurryKitten on March 22, 2016, 05:47:27 PM
Went out today with the idea of doing a few goalposts with the Hornet - really loving this little wing.  Tried a few more gaps and seemed to get away with it - building up lots more confidence in how it flies

great video with some nice close proximity stuff there. That shadow chasing is too tempting.

No, just 3S (I'm using 800mah packs)

Do you think it could carry a 2200 3S Wayne..?

What kv motor? Sounds like a 4s on a wing but I suppose you're using a high kv 22xx motor aren't you?

I've got a Raven and thinking of giving it a go on 4s. Would probably need a new motor though as it's got (I think) a 2212 emax thing on it.

It's just using the stock motor that Flyingwings.co.uk provide which is an 1806-2280kv, so there's not really much power at all, but it is pretty light at about 235g.  I keep thinking I must do something on 4s, but all my planes are 3s at the mo

A 2200 would ruin it,  it's got to be light

looks like a lot of fun.

I'd get one but I've got far too much to be getting on with my current projects

It seems every wing I try my hand at I just don't have much luck... perhaps the common denominator is the pilot lol :)

Nice vid, enjoyed that. I bet you can only fly it in very very light wind though

It's a cheapie CMOS thing that came with the kit - it's fine as long as the sun is in the right place, but I wouldn't recommend it.  Example -

Going into a turn

1 second later, when the sun comes into view... arrgghh, where's the ground gone

So I would suggest a pz0420m or similar with it's nice WDR which I will replace this with when I get around to it

Compare that to the footage we got from a fatshark 600tvl  :(

Now that is a miserable quality image! Jees !
Was it like that in the goggles? Or has the DVR and YouTube screwed it up?
Or possibly you have a thin smear of vaseline on the camera lens? LOL.
Can't think why it should be so blurry...Camera focus? Camera settings? Cabling? VTX knackered?
:o

It  looks to me like you may be out of focus.

For sure... the lighting is bad.   But gli suspect more at play.
