The Rogue Valley Flyers is a remote control model aircraft builders and pilot's club, founded in 1976 and serving Josephine County hobbyists since. Our field, Grants Pass Sky Park, is located off Upper River Road- about 3 miles west of Grants Pass. Grants Pass Sky Park features a 550' road-cloth covered runway, 6 model prep tables, 5 runup tables, shaded picnic tables, and an FAA FRIA to fly in! We welcome all RC enthusiasts. Membership in both RVF and the Academy of Model Aeronautics is required. Guest AMA members are welcome. Rogue Valley Flyers is AMA Chapter #1408!
RVF Sky Park Flights - FPV Piloted, Swift 2100 EDF Glider
The FPV Learning Journey continues... Landing a glider with any wind is always interesting, but I finally have multiple safe (in one piece) landings flying through the goggles! Anyway, this flight was fun because a Turkey Vulture joined up for some thermal soaring partway through! We did a couple laps, then I climbed out, but that was fun! OK... probably last of these videos until I find something to do up there! The gear: XFly Swift 2100 2.1 meter glider powered by 64mm EDF, with Walksnail Avatar Pro HD camera, Walksnail Goggles X, and a Tally Ho head tracker.

This brief video was the first time attempting to fly my Swift 2100 Glider (powered by 64mm EDF) using FPV goggles! Just Takeoff, and my first landing attempt before chickening out! Takeoff was a thrill! I couldn't quite get myself all the way down on landing though! Gliders will glide! More vids at RogueValleyFlyers.com

RVF Pilot Chris brought out his beautiful Draco to do some meandering around the skies and show off the incredible slow-speed performance of this model! Draco is truly one of the coolest most scale detailed foam RC Models there are! The gray skies didn't show it off so well, but Chris's flying was smooth as silk and at times so slow I wondered how it stayed in the air! What an awesome plane! Ro...

RVF Sky Park Flights - Align 600 Nitro T-Rex
Просмотров 2057 месяцев назад
RVF Pilot John G took his T-Rex Heli up "for a spin" on this unusually nice February afternoon! This helicopter is an Align 600 Nitro T-Rex, sporting the ikon Brain Flybarless System, Castle 30amp BEC, and 600mm main blades! Even on a relatively tame (by John's standards) flight like this, keeping that chopper in frame for the video was quite a challenge! With those 600mm blades carving up the ...

Has anyone else been silly like me added the edf run that on a little 5s 1500 and seperate esc but also keep prop run that on a 4s 2250 what a weapon 75mph plus 😂 9s powered swift is lots of fun and has no end of going vertical
I’m coming back out there soon to fly with you guys again.
Nice video Art..
Kind of a lazy, boring flight, huh? NOT!!!!!!!!! THEIR WASN'T A BOARD INDIVIDUAL IN THE WHOLE PLACE! WOW!
Excellent job filming and editing this vid Art. Thanks to all the guests that showed up and put on an amazing display of piloting. You can watch videos all day but there's nothing quite like seeing it happen right in front of your face!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for the kind words everyone, and thank you to the Rogue Valley club for being such a great host and such down to earth people!
Very nice to see Oliver getting some of his flying videoed and edited in this high of quality !! Great camera work, please tell me this was done with more than a cell phone, it looks amazing.
I'd love to tell you it wasn't a cell phone... but it was! iPhone 14 Pro Max. I have a "real" video camera, but its impossible to keep planes in frame with its tiny view screen. The large screen on the "Max" version iPhone's helps greatly. The silly thing claims to video in 4k. On the one hand, that makes serious focusing near impossible, especially against solid blue sky, but on the other hand, if video is shot in 4k there's a lot you can do with it during the editing passes!
@@RogueValleyFlyers-Video I knew I was going to end up even more disappointed in my Pixel 8 pro lol.
I'm been thinking about picking one of these up. Trying to decide between this and the AtomRC Swordfish. I don't need any of that GPS autopilot stuff, but I do have an extra O3 Air Unit to make use of. Both planes look really nice. Cheers for the video.
This was my first attempt at building out and flying fixed wing with FPV. I was just videoing on this one, but have since flown her completely via the goggles, and its incredible! I didn't do the Flight Controller thing, although I have that on my future project list. I absolutely love this Swift 2100 with EDF. Before FPV its a great glider, but WITH FPV, the EDF propulsion allows you to take off like a normal plane, which is much easier with FPV than attempting a hand launch. Without an FC, I chose to use a Spektrum AR8360T receiver, which gives me Vario, Barometer, and 8+ channels. Put the Vario on a switch as always, and set the transmitter to give verbal altitude updates every so many seconds. That helps compensate for not having the OSD telemetry that a FC provides. Used a TallyHo head tracker on Avatar Goggles X. The gimble that sells as an add-on option with this glider is functional, but the pans are pretty rough due to cheap servos. Plan to switch over to a MotionSic to make sight seeing more pleasant from up there!
Man I get a chill down my spine everytime I watch the part where he dusts the sun! What a sight to see!
Now THAT's biplane madness! Gorgeous plane, phenomenal flying!
OLIVER MAKES THAT "BEAST" LOOK LIKE A TOY!
A WHOLE NEW MEANING TO THE PHRASE WOW!🤯
THE BEST FROM ONE OF THE BEST! AWESOME JAY!
Oliver, that was the most amazing flight I have ever seen, such precision in your maneuvers, wow, thanks for coming to our event
WHAT A GREAT ADDITION TO OUR GREAT BIPLANE MADNESS IV EVENT! BIPLANES GALORE AND TREATING THE SKY'S WAS BUD LIBERATORE IND HIS AWESOME STARDUSTER BIPLANE. THANK YOU BUD! THIS IS A PART OF THIS SHOW THAT WILL BE REMEMBERED FOE YEARS! 😁🙌
IF I WASN'T PERSONALLY THERE TO WITNESS THIS MYSELF, I WOULDN'T HAVE BELIEVED IT! FUNNY. HE'S NEVER FLOWN AT OUR FIELD, THIS WAS HIS FIRST FLIGHT OF THE DAY, AND DIDN'T HAVE A STITCH OF PRACTICE. I'D SAY WE JUST WITNESSED "A NO FEAR NATURAL" THAT DAY! THANK YOU OLIVER. NOT ONLY ARE YOU A GREAT FLYER, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, A GREAT GENTLEMAN ALSO!👋✌👏😀
What a sweet plane! Great flying, Jay!
All I could say after watching Jeremy fly that thing was... holy cow!!!! What a show!
Great footage of great flying! Very enjoyable. And my compliments on the music not being louder than the airplanes. Good mixing.
One of these days I'd love to make it down there to fly at your field!
Come on down! Make it a tour... you can fly at Eugene's field, Roseburg's field, Grants Pass Skypark, and finish up at Rogue Eagles airfield by Agate Lake! Its the I-5 Flying Circuit!

Good video. I wish Ashland had a club like yours. You seem to be open to electric aircraft, unlike another Rogue Valley club near here. If you were closer I would definitely join. I'm sure my flying could improve being around the very accomplished members seen on your video.
If you have an AMA card you're sure welcome to come visit and fly!
Great work pulling this event together, Steve and RVF!!! I honestly can't say which part was my favorite... Oliver Willis' world class 3D piloting skills? Bud and StarDuster doing a Smoke Pass by the Sun? Jeremy Hewitt's insane method of torturing the videographer with his amazing and totally unpredictable Helicopter flights? Or the great company and cool Biplanes from all the RC pilots visiting from neighboring clubs!
Biplane Madness IV, another, great successful event is in the books! Great video by the best, Mr. Art Brest! Thanks for all that attended!
It makes our field into a top notch facility now! Well worth all the effort! A+👍🏻😎
Yup. Those stripes are just the right size for visibility, speed, and depth perception when seen from FPV!
How is the fabric working?
So far, EXCELLENT! We have been through significant wind storms, and hit the high '90's temps, and its great. The Stripes that we recently added help TREMENDOUSLY with FPV piloted landing efforts by providing depth and speed perception visual references!
@@Brestae Nice. You guys did a great job laying it out.
Very Nice Chris!
Smooth!!! Nice flying!!! The devil on one shoulder just told me “oh yeah… go buy a Draco right now…”. And, the angel on my other shoulder just leaned over and said “you know damn well buying that plane won’t magically make you able to fly that well”!!! 😅 Then the devil cupped his hand and whispered to me “Dude, that $629 Draco is on sale for under $500 for one week only….” And that’s why I have so many planes!
Very nice
WOW, That is about the coolest video Art. Loved you following Chuck in his Turbo Timber. Very well done.
Awesome job guys!
Very cool, wind proof?
So far, so good! We've had some very gusty afternoons and its holding well! The perimeter is stapled down about every 12" all the way around, so there's nowhere for the wind to get under it. What happens after the ground freezes hard then thaws, well, we'll see! Probably will push the staples up a bit, so hopefully hammering them back down will suffice. One thing's certain.... its a hundred times better to fly off of than the old DG surface was!
That was great! Ive been flying rc for 50 years, man we are getting old.
WHAT A GREAT EVENT! I'M NOT SURE WHAT PART WON? THE FUN PART, OR THE FLY PART! WHATEVER, I WAS ANOTHER FEATHER IN THE ROGUE VALLEY FLYER'S HAT! 😎👍
IT'S VIDEO'S SUCH AS THIS ART, THAT MAKE ME PROUD TO BE A MEMBER OF THIS CLUB. TO ANY OTHERS OUT THERE....👍😁THE ROGUE VALLEY FLYER'S WELCOMES YOU!
GREAT VIDEO, WILLIAM! I WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT IF I WASN'T THERE! WELCOME NEW FLYERS TO OUR GREAT RUNWAY. IT ACTUALLY MADE MY BIPLANE FLY BETTER!! WELL, OK......IT DID MAKE IT "LOOK" BETTER AT LEAST, ON THE RUNWAY!!
The runway looks great!
Can't wait until we get the stripe painting done... it will help quite a bit with depth and speed perception when landing while using FPV.
Very nice! That's a lot of runway!
What a ton of work that was and what a great result! Great video William.... really captured the transformation!!!
Cool way to go mustang charlie
If watching this doesn't make a person wanna try flying an RC Heli, well, they're just not normal!
FANTASTIC JOB OF FLYING, JOHN! THIS SHOWS THAT REAL HELICOPTERS HAVE "ENGINES" NOT "MOTORS"! SUPER JOB BY ART FOR FILMING THIS WHICH WASN'T EASY. GREAT JOB BY ALL! YOU MAKE THIS CLUB........SKYPARK PROUD!
Great 3d piloting John. Keep it up your advancing more and more everytime I see you fly. Cheers.
I THINK YOU GUYS FORGOT THAT OUR LAKE SELMAC FUN FLY IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE NEW MONTH!
GREAT LOOKING PLAN AND GREAT FLYING LLOYD! ONE OF MY FAVORITES AT THE FIELD!
