Mad Dogs 4! 14th September 2013 *CONFIRMED*

[Flyboysee]

Great videos guys, keep em coming :)

[Brucey]

What is?

The wing, the motor, the VTX, fy-41, tiny telem. It's all only £20 ;)

Lol!

[foamster]

Looks like a nice session, you guys had there.

Some amazing low flying, much braver than I.

Just an update on the Falcon, been a while.

Here's the latest version, maybe not the last.

Cheers Rob

Looking tidy buddy! :)

[dogzilla]

Falcon looked like an awesome flyer, real nice and smooth. Might throw away my Caprinharse and get one of those instead.

[DaveyLC]

The Caipirinha could have been a decent wing if it was about 100mm larger and was optimised for a 3s setup.

[dogzilla]

And if the motor mount wasn't made of butter-wood. Fukin thin has broken almost every time I landed.

[DaveyLC]

I'm seriously considering looking into getting my prototype wing mass produced.. I suppose ideally I should let a few others fly it first because I'm over the moon with it as a low and fast FPV platform.

[krikey]

DaveyLC: ill be a test pilot for it :) Loving my VenturiFPV and now considering  the smaller Falcon.

[Brucey]

My falcon has been performing great, I'm sure the guys at the weekend will agree!

Rob, the new falcon looks great, but my personal preference is to have the gopro in its case and to have a separate flight cam, I don't trust the gopro!

[krikey]

I'd agree with Brucey here. My GoPro hero silver 3 is temperamental. What I have found is that I should almost always plug in the USB lead for the Tx prior to turning on the GoPro, otherwise it almost always crashes the goPro.

On the Venturi, I did away with the nice goPro box and made up my own 3mm ply shelf (for want of a better expression), then I could mount the gopro in its waterproof case and put a flight cam along side.

Whilst nobody was watching (except Brucey), I went off and stuffed my little Wing Wing into the dirt

Brucey,

Yes the falcon will have a separate FPV cam bracket, i don't like the Gopro feed either.

Just gotta do some more flight testing and jig building and we will be there.

kit price estimate £39.00, GoPro & Non GoPro editions.

All the best Rob

Oh shame Wayne! Vent's are indicated I think...? Noticed when Brucey does low passes he throttles back to mid point.

[Brucey]

Rob, sounds good, look forward to seeing the final cut.
Wayne, that hit the ground hard, but left hardly any damage! It was very turbulent that morning.
Rich, I do most my flying at around half throttle, I rarely hit full throttle, less chance of something going pop! Plus at  a few feet of the deck it's plenty fast enough for me!
