Piper Cub FPV platform

Cool, like you say it might work just fine.

Just put a dab of threadlock on the camera bracket screws before fitting. After 5 mins the threadlocks gone off and the only way getting the scres back out is using a soldering iron on the screw head to melt the threadlock. If you try using a screwdriver it will wreck the screw before it lets go.

Come hell or high water, the cub was flying today.

Weather had been terrible for weeks but today it was sunny with just a gentle breeze.

Off we went, this was the first flight of the rebuilt Cub with the CPD4 active, and getting good 5/10 on the setup. (best i had before was 3)

FPV flight, might as well go for full take off and landing, (i dont do anything by halves)

First FPV flight with the Cub

Here is the very short flight and result.

The plane was horribly trimmed, nose up and left roll to battle.

You will see at about 1:18 I get pitch up and stall, you will see the CPD4 fighting to stop the wing drop, and stopped the plane entering a spin. It really does work well. I had it set slightly too nose down so it wouldnt fly level. But saved my bacon in the stall.

Landing was a little fast but as this was first time with no flap and all up weight of 2.8kgs!! better to be fast!

Well done for getting it back in one piece given the trim.

Evening,

Just joined and have a 40% Cub which will be fitted with tandem cameras (or that`s the idea).   Trouble is, I know less than a carrot about FPV so I might annoy you.

Can you help?

Cheers,

Stew.
