@@AdamGdoesFPV I had it lying around for 5 years or something, figured why not. However I am thinking about Talon GT as a second, smaller plane to fly.
One of the best FPV Wing Videos ive seen so far! Nice edit, music fits nice views...really awesome! Flying FPV is just the greatest hobby ever....keep up the good work
Fantabulosa!!!! That gimble really is something else ... This video really lifted my mood on this dull wet cold uk weekend .. great 👍 music 🎶 yet again .. 😊
Cheers Ian :) Yeah we have awful weather over here today too. Was meant to be meeting the same guys tomorrow in the same place... weather forecast is 35mph wind and rain to go with it :(
Song made me feel like I was watching dude perfect, but edit made me feel I was on FPV heaven. You inspire me to chase my long range dreams dude. Come over to Scotland and do some flying with us...
Inspiring others to do this is makes it all worth while. Would love to come over to Scotland and fly, some amazing landscapes over there, carrying all the gear overseas is the biggest pain though :P Cheers for the comment

Don't you find interesting that "Even do must of the Auto Pilots on the market claim to be super sensitive" they can't control your servos to maintain the plane level in the same way that you gimball does??I mean, I have one of the best out there! I think that the processor on my MFD AP is a 80 Megahertz and it still do shake in harsh weather!! Never the less I insist you have a great and beautiful place to enjoy and fly... thanks for the replay.
Perhaps the really sad thing is that Charles sold the company, and all Of/Or any chances to improve went down the drain, This autopilot have tons of features, and room for improvement, but the information is shady and incomplete at best! I mean if one would be capable to understand how each of the PID per axis work I think it will be perhaps the best in the market! BUT...because you know that there are two PID's per axis??? It took me almost 9 months to get to where I'm with my autopilot!!
I love your videos mate. Thanks for sharing your setup details, I'm about to try some longer range FPV (was flying 5.8ghz so far) and was wondering about reliable and efficient setup. Thanks again and keep posting.
For a few years I have been wondering if a gimbal was worth it, and i always decided against them because when people fly by themselves, the footage never looked very natural (in my opinion of course). But In formation flying, holy smokes it changes the game!! Your vid has seriously got me reconsidering the power of the gimbal. Fantastic work as always!
Cheers mate, really appreciate the feedback. Like yourself, I was always very undecided on gimbals on fixed wing... but eventually decided to give it ago and I'm happy with the results. I still throw fixed camera view in the mix so that you don't lose the feeling that its a fixed wing and not a gimbal multi rotor :)
Thanks :) No I don't meet with this guy any more, he flies drones for a living and does many hours so he's lost interest in doing it as a hobby unfortunately.
Cheers mate. Yeah its a little confusing on the brain when you're so used to the plane staying still in the video and the ground being the part that bobbles around :P
Great vid. The shot of the GoPro footage with the overlay of the gimbal was awesome. You need to do a vid on the gimbal and how you set it up and power it. 👍🏻
Thanks for the comment :) I thought people might enjoy the overlay, not something you see very often, gives you a good idea of how well its stabilising the footage. I did mean to make a video about setup and demo of the gimbal in the last few weeks, just not got round to it yet. Will try do it soon
Hi Andy, thanks for the comment :) appreciate your feedback. The side view is pretty cool to give you an idea of how much work that gimbal is doing... also keeps the fixed wing feeling in the video.
Cracking Footage. I loved the RunCam 1 Footage on the wing looking at the Gimbal. That Gimbal was sure working hard, yet gave some spot on stable footage on the GoPro. Which make/model Gimabal was it by the way? Look forward to more formation/follow stuff. Way better than just some nice scenery.
Thanks for the comment :) its the Feiyu Tech FY MiNi3D PRO 3 Axis Gimbal ► goo.gl/SGKVYP I might make a video on that soon. Like you said, fun to watch the gimbal working away
God that's gorgeous country to fly in - I'm jealous! And I second the request for a setup video on the gimbal. Is that a Feiyutech Mini3dPro? I've got one but have never been happy with the results.
Can that Opterra carry a good payload? The reason I asked is because I am interested in installing an autopilot module that will be used for 4G telemetry (Airstring and Pixhauk) I would also like to add other things and cameras as I get the extra money. Maybe a few solar cells mounted to help extend flight time if that isn't too much stuff..
The Opterra isn’t my plane, but my opinion of it is that it’s not designed to carry a large payload. I believe most fly with a max of 5,000mah on board. In this video they were using a tiny 2,200mah Lipo. To put it into perspective, the Skyhunter is carrying a 16,000mah Lipo and still has tons of spare room
Cheer Ian :) I actually don't know what the difference is between the two? Both seem to produce similar results, watching yours in action was what made me decide to get one
are you flying by the gopro fpv feed? or a seperate fpv cam, if so, wondering how you are able to do such nice angles controling the gimbal. cool vid and song adam. ps... you kept up with that wing like a boss
It does make me wonder who will be the first to fit a smoke generator on there model ...food for thought ..Ireland does look great from the air ..The tourist board could learn a thing or two ..
I would like to ask a question, I'm thinking about building another FPV Long range setup and have been trying to decide what aircraft to use ? Sky Hunter Or,,,Opterra ? I'm leaning toward the Opterra ,,I'm lazy and it seems like it could be a good FPV aircraft with less building and changing out the stock receiver ? It also looks like it would land in grass a little easer ? Any help thanks. DanT
Hi Dan, if you want to built a long range FPV platform, between these two planes there is an easy winner by a long way, the Skyhunter. It can carry a much larger payload... 16a 4S is easy with loads of space left... you'd be pushing your luck to squeeze more than 5a in the Opterra. Plus in my opinion, the hunter will land on grass better too. Cheers.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question..I'm very surprised that a Sky Hunter would land softer on grass..PS: long range for me would be 10 miles out..I have don't that with a big wing running a 5 cell 5000mAh setup..DanT
Adam G does FPV no worries. I know what your saying, I’m out as much as possible to fly and grow my channel. Looking forward to seeing your flights through November ✈️😊
This is the 1800mm Skyhunter ► tiny.cc/Skyhunter
For FULL kit list with links, please see video description :)
I own the Opterra - my first fpv fixed wing. A blast to fly!
It’s a cool wing. Brave choice for your first one 😊
@@AdamGdoesFPV I had it lying around for 5 years or something, figured why not. However I am thinking about Talon GT as a second, smaller plane to fly.
I don't know what it is but there is something satisfying about watching a gimbal. What a great place to fly!
Its cool to watch one in action. As you can see form this video its working hard on the Skyhunter in this wind
Yeah its pretty neat. I made one once using some spare stuff in the workshop there pretty cool.
One of the best FPV Wing Videos ive seen so far! Nice edit, music fits nice views...really awesome! Flying FPV is just the greatest hobby ever....keep up the good work

Another fantastic video Adam. Wonderful scenery in Ireland. Congrats on getting married too.
Thanks Mark :)
Nice video, shows how well that Skyhunter would do as a SAR drone if it had a gimbal like that one. Thanks for mixing it all up and sharing!
Hi James, yeah its a solid platform the Skyhunter. Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing an excellent video! great flying and beautiful footage.
Thanks for watching and I appreciate your feedback :) Cheers
your the master of the rc fpv flyies great video
Haha thanks :D
Amazing footage...not to mention bad-ass track. Keep it coming!
Thanks Alexander :)
Nice vid Adam! Some good chasing there and that gimbal looks like it's working just right. Cool stuff.
Gimbal is not always 100% but its generally pretty good :) Cheers for the comment.
Great movie Adam! Very nice to watch.

Adam DUDE nice video and fun formation chasing. Love the beautiful scenery and area you are flying at.

I'm really envious of this beautiful place to fly!!
Great spot but the weather rarely plays ball. When it does, this is the result :)

GORGEOUS! Amazing flying, amazing videography, cool music to go with the lovely Irish scenery. Do you guys still have FPV meetups in 2020 in Ireland?
Thanks :) No I don't meet with this guy any more, he flies drones for a living and does many hours so he's lost interest in doing it as a hobby unfortunately.
Wow this is an amazing flight very coordinated. Much love and respect from Northern California ❤️🙏
Thanks Farmer :D
Great stuff Adam, that gimbal is working well - although it's always weird to watch the plane dancing around when looking backwards :)
Cheers mate. Yeah its a little confusing on the brain when you're so used to the plane staying still in the video and the ground being the part that bobbles around :P
Nice footage, I liked watching the Gimbal doing overtime....even on a calm day they get a real workout...LOL.
For some reason this comment was held in spam until i just released it now. Weird. I know its old comment now but thanks :)

My pleasure. Thanks for watching and for commenting :)
Great video. I have to get one of those gimbals. Amazing
Thanks for the comment. Setup and demo video on the gimbal coming soon :)
I really doubt it would fit or work well on the Opterra Darren. They just don't have much space for gear or a suitable spot to mount it
great I look forward to the gimbal video
Thanks. Maybe this weekend if I can find the time
Beautiful! :) Very nice footage. :)
Thanks Mario :)
Another Quality video !!!!
Thanks for the comment :)
Gimbal footage looks great!
Yeah it turned out quite nicely. What are your thoughts on the gimbal now then? As I know you aren't a big fan of them on fixed wings
If I'm honest, this is the best fixed wing gimbal fpv footage I've seen.
Cheers dude :D as you can see I still like to add in a bit of footage from the fixed camera. Also quite cool to see the gimbal working hard
One of my favorite videos. Your video count has gone up the past 2 days because of me! lol
Haha cheers mate, hope you're enjoying them :D
Look this guy, this is a VAPER (e-cig) on 0:11 . I use one too ! Nice video man !
Thanks Alam :)
It's so wonderful!😍😍
Cheers Flo, glad you liked it :D
Cool video. You sure made that gimbal work hard :D I liked the side view on the Skyhunter also.
Best regards from northern Norway
Hi Andy, thanks for the comment :) appreciate your feedback. The side view is pretty cool to give you an idea of how much work that gimbal is doing... also keeps the fixed wing feeling in the video.

Yeah. It earned it's money that day!
Look forward the gimbal video.
Sooo odd the footage of the optera from the gimbal. Like it's hanging from the ceiling.
Great video and flying!
Yeah I find it makes it easier to watch. I do still like my fixed camera on the wing though. thanks
Just when tracking another flying object like the opterra. For nornal flying looks great. Smooth and stable. is that a gimbal from a Phantom?
God that's gorgeous country to fly in - I'm jealous! And I second the request for a setup video on the gimbal. Is that a Feiyutech Mini3dPro? I've got one but have never been happy with the results.
Thanks Bruce :) Yes that's the exact gimbal I have. I will do a setup video when I get chance. Cheers
It would be interesting to fly the wing while viewing the chase plane video!
Its funny you say that... because that's exactly what we did :)
Great video.
Thanks :)
Дуже круто! Стабілізація відпрацьовує чудово!
Thanks :) Yeah works pretty well, happy with results.
Great Clip 👍
Thanks Glenn. More formation coming very soon
a realy nice video ! nice pursuit

Thanks John, glad you're enjoying the vids :) Music is Circles by KDrew: ruclips.net/video/L2NhfzcVmBA/видео.html
Nice video Adam, the FY Pro was the one I should have got over just the Mini, nevermind :)
Cheer Ian :) I actually don't know what the difference is between the two? Both seem to produce similar results, watching yours in action was what made me decide to get one
The Pro has its cables go through a slip ring so you can continuously rotate the yaw where the Mini is mechanically limited.
Ah I see!
wow tres beaux video et la musique super wowwwwww
Thanks Patrick :)
are you flying by the gopro fpv feed? or a seperate fpv cam, if so, wondering how you are able to do such nice angles controling the gimbal. cool vid and song adam. ps... you kept up with that wing like a boss
Hey Phil-I was wondering the same thing. He might be using a switch to go back and fourth?
hey inoculableMT yes, you were right. a switcher. i just checked and he has made his latest video explaining everything. its really good!
Phil Dawe good deal. They look pretty easy to set up! I'll check out his video, tx!
It does make me wonder who will be the first to fit a smoke generator on there model ...food for thought ..Ireland does look great from the air ..The tourist board could learn a thing or two ..
Haha I hadn't thought about it, but it could be fun... make your own red arrows air display :P
I think I see you guys were eating some delicious homemade cookies!
The best! ;-)
I just bought a FPV headset, what setup are you using for the opterra? Thanks-J.S.
Hi, the Opterra was a friends plane, so I'm not sure on the full setup sorry. Good luck with it though
I would like to ask a question,

Hi Guys. Where about in Ireland are you? There is a couple of us here in west Ireland -Mayo.
We're based in Dublin. Would be great to meet mid way some time :)
Adam G does FPV Yes Sir. We Should organize that. We would be mere than happy to meet sometime. Thank you.
Awesome flying buddy. Liked and subscribed for more videos. Cheers ✈️😊

Adam G does FPV no worries. I know what your saying, I’m out as much as possible to fly and grow my channel. Looking forward to seeing your flights through November ✈️😊
what kind of flight time do you get with Opterra?
Not too sure to be honest, the guys were only using a 2200 3S for each flight and I think it was going for about 15mins.
Where did you get your Skyhunter from? Do you know any places in Europe?
Andres Moks not sure if you can buy them in Europe. I ordered mine from RMRC. Only took around a week to arrive
I got mine from onedrone.com but they are out of them.
magnifique..😀😀😀
Thanks :D
That gimbal is nowhere to be found. Looking for it everywhere. :(
Yeah I noticed :( ,aybe supply issues? Hopefully they haven't stopped selling it

Too bad, the cost of importing Opterra is too much for me in Southeast Asia.
Plenty of other great planes on the market that should be easy for you to import though :)
