100% agree with this. I have added FPV to everything. The quads started it. The planes all got iNav and cameras. I *Just* finished a truck with an articulating FPV Stig head. It's a hobby ( _not an addiction_ ) The dog is next, if I can't find something else to strap a VTx to!
How did it affect the flight time and the models flying characteristics? I have the same plane and I’m thinking about converting it to an fpv. Also what parts did you use?
@@achimastosjohn6521 Just a random all-in-one FPV mini FPV cam like Whoops use, with it's own tiny lipo battery. Didn't noticeably affect flight time or characteristics.
Very nice I think I get one of those. Haven't flown yet but I have just bought my first fpv set planned for a much larger plane. This could be a good training set to start with.
There are analog setups now under 2g the eachine tx06 I think is the lightest you can literally FPV all but, the smallest of indoor flyers it's so cool to a micro head like myself. Those machine gun noises had me crackin up
I still have the shitty cam and vtx from my tinyhawk freestyle sitting under the bench. Ive been thinking of this for a while, and you have provided the kick in the arse I needed haha. The tiny mustang is a great plane eh Thanks uncle Bruce. Happy flying mate
I don't have a Mustang but I do have the similar T28 from the same series and, I agree, they're great fun. I have mine bound to my Horus with a multiprotocol module in the JR housing. You don't mention which stabilisation level you used. I find the Intermediate OK, even in a breeze, but the 'Expert' mode (which has zero stabilisation) a bit of a challenge. The endurance is amazing - I usually fly for around 10 minutes but I've heard 20 minutes are possible. I find I need to use a lot of rudder in the turns to keep the model close enough for my old eyes to see and orientate it but I guess with fpv that's not an issue. Great experiment, and it revealed where the electronics are situated.
Hi Bruce Don't you know when great minds start thinking and BOOM. I had one of those back in the 90s. I think it was made by flighttest ? Something like that. They had the Zero and Corsair. The only difference between us is I'm using the Eachine TX2 25mw and the AKK FX-3 that's 200mw. One of my friends has a Timberwolf who has the TX2 , I also did my rc race car, and a horizon Rock rey, JATO and the TEMPER all have cameras. I just did a quick video with the rock rey. Anyway Thanks again for the video. Have fun and stay healthy for we can watch your RANTS.
Great stuff! you could've saved a few grams in weight if you'd ditched the metal camera holder and the piece of plywood, and just double-sided taped down the camera, and then further secured it with a short piece of cable tie. That's how I secure these aio cams on my ultra-light models :-)
About to get a 400mm Mustang or Corsair and was wondering if they could handle an FPV camera. So thanks for this video. I'm just not keen on flying by watching it from the ground lol. I gotta be "in the cockpit" plus it'll just feel much cooler.
@Sema Dragun If you're talking about the R0de mic I'm not sure of the range because I don't usually operate beyond 20m or so. If you're talking about the P51 it seems good for at least 150m with the Jumper TLite transmitter but I'll fly further to see when it failsafes.
At 04:50 you can see he's soldered his camera wires to two points on the flight controller. It's nice to see that the stock hardware already has the capacity for this! :)
G'day Bruce. Great video! I've ordered the plane today based on your video. Question about the T-Lite (I have a T-Lite and I love it). You mentioned that you bound it to the Jumper T-Lite; which protocol setting do you use on the T-Lite? Even better, if possible could you do a video on binding it to the T-Lite? Tim
Awesome! You might be able to mount the camera on a 4g servo and parallel it with rudder to get some pan action. Think it might be cool to see a wing in view as did a turn. Another option, is a 2mm carbon rod, and you could pair two of these together to make a formation flyer. (could even join 3x of these and be under 250g).
Great video. This is my first time viewing your channel. I'm hoping to do some micro fpv stuff like this. Getting back into RC planes after a 30 year break. Things have changed a bit, for the better.
Typo there. The "Sonik" re-brand label of the OEM Volantex stuff available in the UK and elsewhere has nothing at all to do with the SonicModel/ZOHD gear. 🙂
Hey, you sound JUST like xJet, who always wins every contest on Botgrinder's streams! Haha jokes, but nice upgrade video, throwing FPV on that is a fun idea 😎
Hi Bruce. Hope you well v thanks again for all your input in our rc hobby. I would like to ask you some advice on buying a new transmitter. I love the radio master tx16 s max and now there is a eachine tx16s out now. Which one would you buy. Please help. Kind regards Johan from South Africa 😊
Love the idea! Just bought the Sky04L goggles to get into the FPV hobby but not sure how the stock antennas will do. Any suggestions on what to look for as upgrades?
My Club have now banned all FPV due to CAA rules...My polystyrene planes and quads were all deemed far to dangerous, even though I have been flying them incedent free since 2014....Welcome to 2021....🤔🤔🤔🙄🙄🙄🇬🇧
I don't fly at any club as despite the BMFA saying clubs are not liable for unregistered flyers all the ones near me now have that requirement. 😔 And I'm not going to support the corruption that is the £9 'mates tax'. If I told a client that it'll cost £900,000 for a 10,000 hits/day database containing nothing more than 100k names, address and unique personal numbers I'd be laughed out of the building. A cheap AWS solution wouldn't come close to that so clearly the CAA is helping to make someone rich. And other E.U. countries do it for free. Strange that.
@@loc4725 The worst part is, the BMFA couldn't wait to sign up to every rule and restriction the CAA put forward ..it doesn't affect the vast majority of the BMFAs none FPV members at all...Suddenly, everyone is flying "Drones"....Reason alone to tell the CAA to eff off IMO...🤔🙄🙄🙄😡😡😡🇬🇧
@@EnglishTurbines To be fair I don't think the BMFA had much of a choice. After Brexit the UK CAA's director came out with words strongly suggestive of an unbridled affinity for the E.U. and prior to that he tried to sideline both the BMFA & LMA, apparently in an attempt to put commercial interests first. So as far as I'm concerned all of this is yet more discreet corruption from a useless, opposition-less government.
Hi Bruce - Another excellent review - love the energy you put into reviews! However I wouldn't touch Bangood with an electric cattle prod - TOO MANY disastrous purchase attempts (and following lies) in the past - and surprise, surprise "unable to ship to your country" both Aus and NZ.
Would be awesome if they were making something like this, but running on a 14500 (AA, ~30grams) or 10440 (AAA, ~8grams) li-ion cell, so you can just plop a fresh one in without messing with these fiddly lipo connectors.
The Jumper JP4in1 module will work great. You will need to update the QX7 firmware and should also update the module firmware at same time for all the latest features.
hi: dear sir: Can I ask you? I say if I have a drill bit that punches 1/2 inch holes. (one of those hole maker bits) Can I drill holes all over the plane to take out the EPP foam? I can then cover the holes with either monokote or some light sticky tape. If the holes are placed in non-structural areas, I fathom the plane could be lighter. I have heard that these little things are heavier than one would expect. Could a person go into the weeds with lightening mods? thx. dude. Sweet!

Rc crawlers are great to FPV as well! 😊
@Sema Dragun Not really. Crawlers have a fantastic suspension and they run pretty slowly. 😊
My dog shook too much (been there ;-) ).
It's the likes of you spreading the rumours that RC should be fun!
"Not even a choking hazard!" Brilliant. &: LONG LIVE THE RED-TAILS!
Did someone say redtail
Excellent review, great to see a reviewer enjoy the hobby and give practical and proven review.
Surprisingly good! Also great camera choice. The CCD makes the prop look like a prop and not a wiggly mess~~
Cool dude! I put floats on the mini mustang p51d, and now it lands on water, video is live.
It can't takeoff, but it's great fun practicing landings
I did the same with their little pusher jet. Same view, no prop,way fast. So fun regardless.
I FPV'd my Volantex Sport Cub 500. Lots of fun on 1S!

Very nice I think I get one of those. Haven't flown yet but I have just bought my first fpv set planned for a much larger plane. This could be a good training set to start with.
Absolutely, you can crash this tiny plane as much as you want without having to worry.
Nice FPV flight. Flying those Micro Planes via FPV is a lot of fun. See you in the Air!
I think he got something there😉 GREAT JOB ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Agreed have like 7 of these little guys absolutely love the pusher prop jet planes they make too.

Hi Bruce it was Eflight and Spektrum that made it. Thanks again for the video and repeat.
Always enjoy watching your videos. Stay Blessed!
been wanting to do this to my mini p51 these planes are great just got the f4u also me and my daughter fly them all the time
Absolutely amazing Bruce. I have one of these and an very tempted to do surgery!! Great video, as always. Thanks and cheers from Oz.
Micro rc fpv?..Genius 🤓👍

Thanks uncle Bruce. Happy flying mate
BRILLIANT!! Another GR8 Vid from you!!!! Straight to the point!!!
That's like me in 2015 with my UMX Radian and a tiny little custom FPV setup. Great fun!
ruclips.net/video/uB7UTKsVAOc/видео.html
What a superb plane, and interesting with the FPV. Great recommendation.
Wish you all the best! No vids for such a long time means no good in whatever aspect
it reminds me of the little foam P51 I used to have from Hobbyzone when I was a teen
Sweet, I have one that I rigged up a camera and vtx on and haven't flown it yet. Looking forward to it though.
Mounted my camera on the bottom.

OK, so next. Outlaw part 2 build
Fixed wing FPV is really awsome! nice work sir!
Nice! I love that little foamy - looks even better with FPV! Great video.
I have never gotten into fpv flying in this video really makes me want to do it.
I did this with my Corsair. So much fun!
Classic example of someone who loves the sound of there own voice,
Nice model, I have to get one for sure..

Hey Bruce, your audio sounds AMAZING outdoors! What is your mic set up? I can see you're using a wireless LAV, what kind is it?
It's the R0de Wireless Go system. Had it for a couple of years now and it's been flawless.
@Sema Dragun If you're talking about the R0de mic I'm not sure of the range because I don't usually operate beyond 20m or so. If you're talking about the P51 it seems good for at least 150m with the Jumper TLite transmitter but I'll fly further to see when it failsafes.
Would be interesting to see how you connected the power supply for the FPV camera. Love those little warbirds!

Nice flight! Everyone i saw a video from about this plane says its awesome and everyone should have one, maybe ill buy it too someday 😄
i love this guy. he sounds exactly like taggart from eureka ha ha ha and thats a compliment !
And of course are 200mW enough - *in an open field!*

What kind of goggles are you using, and what type of helical?

how did you wire the camera to the power...???? you skipped that bit....
Been flying one for around a year. Much fun to be had.
Sonic model do a 600mm of the Ranger that is a fab little thing (uses same TX/ex)

What's your thoughts on putting a decent vtx and cam on a max thrust Ruckus Bruce, with cobra x goggles and menace rc antenna.
Bruuuhuuuuce.... were you shooting blades of grass again....?!?
=P :D
This thing flying well fpv my eachine p51 are now with 25mw aio fpv is so stable

We can add a flat cell mobile battery more Lighter than that :D
cheers! great video I just ordered both things from the links, i cant wait to give it a go!
It's madness that in the UK this would need to be registered as it has a camera!
Only if you can be bothered to do so.. All 25 of my craft have cameras,fly responsibly and safely and you,ve nothing to worry about. Happy flying

Is the beginner mid and expert modes still available if using the Jumper T-Lite transmitter. Many thanks and great content.
I would like to know this too. I have the Volantex ranger 600 and I think it uses the same protocol.
I wonder if you could put a tiny 2 cell in for longer flight time.
cool video
I'm trying the same setup. How long does last the battery?
Good idea

What would you recommend for an OSD and telemetry on this little plane? I'd like to get some more range out of it. Very nice review!
Glue it to your DJI quad. Then you will have all the OSD, telemetry and range that you want! 🙃😉
Can you do a tutorial how to get the fpv camra on the plane and where i get the goggle
Which camera is attached to the vtx?
Might have to put Hdzero on one
Love it
I totally did this with my mustang and the control link is crappier than the camera range and I lost the plane hahaha. Easy come easy go! XD
What cam did you use, please. And a short clip on how you put this together, I'm a newbie
I like it! Tat-tat-tat-tat! Gonna be fun for fpv dog-fighting 😝
I wish they would sell the P51D without the transmitter so I could get another P51D... I already have a Transmitter from the 1st one I bought .
Is there a multiprotocol module I can get for my qx7 Tarranis to fly this plane?
If the Jumper Tx works then the IRangeX multimodule should also work as they both use the same code.
The Jumper JP4in1 module will work great. You will need to update the QX7 firmware and should also update the module firmware at same time for all the latest features.
Brilliant
Hi Bruce what's the best way to power a 4in1 camera safely, I'm new to soldering and model plane electronics thanks

It uses the V761 protocol.
