Hi All,

So, getting back into the game after a long break. decided to spend a bit of cash and list what I´ve bought.

1. X-Air 1,3 from TrueRC
2, RHCP 1.3 Singularity from TrueRC x3
3. SpeedyBee 5.8 Antennas for my Ground Station relay
4. AR Wing Pro
5. FuriousFPV F35 Lightning, first time running INAV (I am an old skool Ardupilot fan)
6. Matek Airspeed sensor for the F405 in an AR 900 wing.
7, T-Motor 1400kv
8. TomCat G46 Motor for my Spitfire
9. Matek 1G3 VTX

Got some other small bits and bobs, tools for example, 3S field soldering iron...

Got 3 planes to maiden, will post up as soon as I get going. weather is c**p at the moment.

All the best and stay safe,
Anthony

Education and schoolin is good, but FPV is gooder :)

Cheers Pal, more stuff to come.

Picked up an old FW190a 1100mm wingspan. needs some work though.
Ordered the Fatshark head tracker, I want to try that again.
got the 5.8ghz rx OLED for the goggles as well, just relays to the 1.2 / 1.3
Also picked up the ezuhf diversity RX from antigravitysports for 20 quid. just because of the price  :D

I made a wireless one that fit inside the goggles case and a tiny receiver inside your radio, worked fairly well, had some tweeking to do but never got back around too it. I might look into doing that again.

Yeah do that, would be interesting to see if it works.
Tom over here made one that fits on top of your gogggles with a wire down to the radio, ch 6 and 7 I think but for some reason there was alot of drift.

There's a good tutorial by Painless360 about DIYing a headtracker and it seems to work nicely.

Cheers Steve,

Since all that with the CAA and registration, a lot of us decided to stop what we were doing.
Now that Joe-Public are starting to see the other side of certain authorities, they are slowly starting to get back into the hobby.
I still got all my gear, plus all the new gear and have decided to restart what I love.

Hope there are a few out there that will join us!
