So far this is the legit video i watch in all long range FPV
Simply a superb 20km. I'm glad I came across this and enjoyed the entire flight. Your power off approach from 500m up was sweet. Great mission ... 2 thumbs up -Aero
Uno de los vídeos de long range mas bonitos que he visto.
¡muchas gracias! Me alegro de que te guste
This is called freedom! Beautiful video, free flight.
Thanks for sharing.
Greetings from the Czech western part
He visto todo el video, las vistas son espectaculares y la suavidad del vuelo te transmite paz y tranquilidad. Espectacular
Super awesome flight!
Awesome panorama of beach from the sky, thanks for sharing
Nice country you fly in🤟: greetings from french polynesia
Always thumbs up and best regards from Bucharest Romania!
Nice day to be flying. Thanks for sharing the flight.
Incredible flight, great scenery too.
awesome
Perfect flying conditions...nice job...try some 1.2g Dipoles and ditch the skews..inefficient..get a linear Patch on your vrx...20kms on 200mw.
instablaster...
Super stable. Nice
That was sooo smooth and stable, well done! Awesome trip and views! Subbed!
Nice Landing o7
Awesome flight and range. Big like from me and subscribed:)
Thanks!
That's incredible! I'm looking at building something similar.... It woukd be great to pick your brains
good project , is fantastic long range !! good pilot !
Nice smooth flight and good piloting skills. My best is 10km out, 10km back but limited by the flight battery range.
I have a MyTwinDream and a Ranger 1600.
Great job man ... love it!
super! thanks!
Incredible and wonderfull flight!!!One more like and one more subscibed,what a quality of picture...
Nice glide!
Well done!
4:54 I wonder if you could repeat that with the same video from the ground to compare where the sun is at the same moment
Amazing
You're VIDEO makes me want to try FPV
Thanks! You can!
Love it!
Dopeeee bro! 🔥🔥 keep on flying buddy 😏
Yeah! Thanks!
Excelent!
Greetings to you, Alexander. Can you tell me how you connected the crossfire receiver to the Pitlab autopilot? I would love to go to the forum, but there are a lot of pages. Please show how you connected your equipment.
Hi Виталий, I use a big receiver so there's no problem to connect all channels to Pitlab but in my case I use SBUS connection. Just check the Pitlab documentation.
Привет, у меня большой приемник у которого есть все пины для подключения каналов, но я использую подключение SBUS (через 1 провод). У питлаба хорошая документация, там описан процесс подключения.
Hello. How did you manage to get video 1.2 and crossfire compatibility? But they are not compatible because of the close frequency?
Hey, I prefer to use 868Mhz on my CF, so this frequency not so close to 1.2Mhz and you can use it but CF have a some noise on 1.2Mhz (for example Dragonlink doesn't have a problem on 868Mhz). Also I use a Notch filter (from TBS store) on my video RX but I don't have a problems with CF and 1.2Mhz with or without filter.
Great flight. Smooth and stable. A pleasure to watch it. It's definitely my next plane. I will use your setup. And you should realy try li-ion 18650 pack. I'm getting an hour of flight with a 3s1p 3500mah pack (NCR18650GA) on my nano talon.
Regards.
Thanks! Hope you like your Mini Talon :) Be careful with COG and fly safe!
Muito bom Parabéns!
Obrigado
woooow
Correct me if this is not how it works but... Take 2 10,000mah 2s 7.4v batteries, get a two to one connector, 7.4×2 is 14.8v, so basically, you crafted a 20,000mah battery.
Yep, If it parallel connected, but still be 2s (20,000mAh 2s 7.4v). If connect it as series you got 4s but same 10,000mAh (and this bad practice because battery can be damage by different discharge)
Better way - made DIY battery from 18650 :) I have 12 battery's but need solder it. 3pc parallel in one cell (4s3p) it will be about 13,000mAh and only 700g weight.
It has a link to the canopy it uses
Put a couple more batteries in that thing, and you could fly here to Helsinki.
Yeah I belive it's possible fly to Finland, shortest way about 50km from Rohuneeme (EE) to Porkkala (FI) but borderguards will not be happy :) so I dont want a problem))))
@@AleksandrBalyberdin Only if they find out, though! These things are pretty much invisible.
HOw many watts is your video transmitter? and what brand of your directional antenna?
hey? I still didnt get it. why you are using 4s 5200mAh 10 C instead? Why you dont use higher c rating?
Higher C rate needs for higher Amps. It's good for quads but bad for plane. More C = more weight :) I can got up to 52A from my battery without damaging it. On launch max current about 40A, in cruise flight about 5A. So theres reason why I use only 10C :)
@@AleksandrBalyberdin your explanation is ... Amazing ;)
and the last question, why do you use lipo? talking about weight, li-ion battery has double capasity on same weight of lipo battery.
actually that is my point that I'm trying to say.
Now I'm on research to build a long range system too. Using Inav.
but the most long range video on youtube mentioned that they're using Li-ion battery for long endurance flight.
when I saw your video and read the description, I realize there is something wrong.
Youre using Lipo battery, 10C and get 20Km.
Incredible!
@@ryandconan Thanks :)
Simply I use lipo because already have it. I was bought my lipo with big discount ($25 battery) about 3 yesars ago and now is time to change it. I already think to make with li-ion 18650 battery (maybe 4s4p or 4s3p for reduce weight).
So if you want long range - li-ion is better but be careful - higher Amps (long time) can damage it.
If you need higher Apms (like race quad) theres lipo better (but you can try to use liion with more pack in one cell)
Great flight! Beautiful scenery. Out of curiosity, I notice you are using crossfire with 1.3 vtx. Are you experiencing any issues with conflict of frequencies between tbs and video? Are you using any type of signal notch on the receiver end? Thanks in advance.
Sorry for long reply :) just found it in lot's of comments. I use 868mz (max 500mw) and 1280video and don't ave any issues but for safest I use not filter from TBS.
Alexandr Balyberdin no worries. Thanks for the response. Cheers!
I put you video setup in maxmyrange and it says you should be able to go 40km. For you to be getting video break up at 18km makes me think that the tbs is cutting you video range
Yes for ideal conditions (antenna accuracy, power, no interference, etc.). Unfortunately in reality is much harder.
Thanks for sharing this video with us.
How do you mount your Radio RX: TBS Crossfire Diversity receiver?
Thank you! I don't use any special mounts :) just placed it into fuselage and hold antenna by top cover. You can saw antenna at 3:19 between tail wings
Epic! Do you have any photos of how you mounted your RunCam Split to the tilt/pan gimbal? Cheers
Thank you! I use 3D printed DIY pantilt (designed by myself) but unfortunately I don't have free time to finish tilt :) I think soon I can publish it on thingiverse
@@AleksandrBalyberdin Brilliant! I'd like to see how you dealt with the Split's cable and board
@@cvonp Just upload the pantilt www.thingiverse.com/thing:3306382
Hi Alexander I have just purchased a Mini Talon and wondered if you have a video showing how you have set the aircraft up and what equipment you have on and how to set it up. as a new pilot to FPV I would like to see how an experienced Pilot dose it so I can get some ideas for my aircraft.
thanks
Hi Phil, thanks but unfortunately I don't have a build and setup video. Under video in description you can find my current setup. I strong recommend to check RCgroups topic: Talon MINI FPV plane--official thread. There's lots of builds and advices, almost all information about MT. Be careful with COG and fly safe!
What do i attach the battery straps too so the strap stays secure while protecting the battey??
I use self stick velcro inside MT and on battery
Ooooohhhhh. One question. If I had a 2watt vtx 5.8g, and some 23dbi direction antenna, how war do you think I'll go?
@@kywon_m_vlogs1742 Unfortunately I don't know. I use 1.3 GHz.
класс))
Did u turn off ur motor at a point ? If so that so cul, I am so doing dat
Awesome flight!! what panning servo are you using??
Thanks! There's my personal designed and printed pan tilt :) still not finished. Hope soon I can release it on thingiverse
Great video ! Thanks for sharing. Please could you tell me what servo did you use for camera tilt ? I m searching 270 degree or more for my MT. Thanks
Hi, Thank you! I use my DIY 3D printed pantilt www.thingiverse.com/thing:3306382 with 170˚ servo I got 360˚ but mount not for big camera.
@@AleksandrBalyberdin Thanks
Hi, do you use notch filter for 1.3ghz?
Yes, but I don't have a problem without filter up to 500mw video. I use external video receiver on 1.2 with small vtx on 5.8
@@AleksandrBalyberdin you mean you're using repeater?
@@ryandconan yep :) you can see my old tripod near me on landing
You already have 5200mah 4s, what do you mean with extra battery for video 1300mah?
Is it for fpv? So fpv running in another system?,
I use Zippy Compact 3S 1500mah 20C to power my Pitlab OSD, video tx and runcam split.
Multistar 4S 5200mah only for motor and servos.
@@AleksandrBalyberdin have you ever heard about Inav?
I run Inav on my plane and there is no way to separate the power system.
Both motor and servo are going into FC and also FPV system, powered by only one power source
.
So if we're running fpv without connecting to the FC,
The osd wont work and we cant see the data such as current draw, distance, speed, etc
Do you have any advice?
Your setup is great btw
bonjour vous penser que c'et possible avec un 3536 750kv et une titan 7000mah4s 2c ? vous penser que je peut abimer la batterie ? Vous me conseiller coi comme helice?
Bonjour
3536 750kv vous avez besoin d'une très grande hélice, peut-être 11"
mais 7000 seulement 2c vous obtiendrez un maximum de 14A et cela ne suffit pas pour décoller
@@AleksandrBalyberdin ok merci beaucoup !!
I have a bit wonder about 3d print for pan camera.I already got a file from thingsgiver for assemble.How to fix camera mount to the body.
On my pantilt I was use self stick velcro :)
hello
what is the final weight of the aircraft?
Hi, full weight about 1800-1850g (4 lb)
Hello
What battery do you use, what mini talon can handle? I have a multistar 4s 10Ah, could I do that?
hobbyking.com/en_us/multistar-high-capacity-4s-10000mah-multi-rotor-lipo-pack.html
fc matek 405 wing
Hi
I use Multistar 4s 5200mAh 10C also I use small zippy compact 3s 1500mAh for FPV (tx, camera)
On rcgroups (Talon MINI FPV plane--official thread) some peoples use 10Ah but be careful with CoG.
Is it possible with jet engine?
I don't know :) this is RC (radio control) airplane with electric motor. If you asked about real big jet engine (like Pratt & Whitney’s PW1000G)
Can you tell, what is your set up?
Full setup listed under video in description
Would you recommend this over the zohd orbit
The orbit is smaller than mini talon (900 vs 1300) also this is absolutely different models. But Mini Talon not first plane.
Do you use any filtering when running 900 mHz control and 1.3 ghz video?
I have TBS notch filter on my RX side.
btw - I use 868mHz :)
@@AleksandrBalyberdin I had issue with my TBS using 1.2/3GHz vTx. TBS works perfectly with 2.4GHz vTx which is mostly used in Europe correct?
@@aerofpv2109 I prefer to use 1.2GHz video. My friends use same 1.2 or 5.8 but maybe I try 2.4 this summer. Also TBS just released new notch filter. Already bought it :)
My new flight season should be very interesting. Santa gifted me Pitlab Ground Station with antenna tracker and better video receiver. I think I can flight on 30km or more with this 5200 battery :)
@@AleksandrBalyberdin Oh man I am looking forward to those flights mate. Your setup sounds solid. Hurry up and fly I can't wait haha.
which is the best for long range? tbs crossfire or 2w ezuhf?
I found tbs crossfire is better. I've got 20km on 800mw with ezuhf and same 20km with 100mw crossfire. It's huge difference. With Crossfire I don't need more than 500mw power and I can fly very long range. But if you want save more money (ezuhf price now $30 for 2W TX but TBS is $150) you can buy ezuhf.
Im struggling to find out how you last that long in the air with that capacity battery.
Dude, check the end video. With 5200 I can fly one hour. I know OSD on Russion but Время полёта translate as Flight Time
With a 1000mw vtx, and some ordinary chinese googles, how far will i go without losing feed?
@@kywon_m_vlogs1742 I can't answer on this question. It's very different and depends on video and rc frequency, antennas type, receiver, your location, on board electronics etc...
Hello friend, do you have any email to ask about the assembly of the Mini Talon Fpv?
Thank you!.
Hello :) thanks but my build not a perfect. Anyway I strongly recommend to read topic on rcgroups about this plane: Talon MINI FPV plane--official thread
I only clicked on this video to see how far 20km is for riding a electric skateboard
Thanks :) but I don't know nothing about electric skateboard, sorry
@@AleksandrBalyberdin that is ok I was kinda calculating the distances
is this manual or waypoints?
Manual flight. But with active stabilization
@@AleksandrBalyberdin Awesome. thanks for reply. Stay healthy. -Will
@@CategoricalImperative Thanks Will! Stay healthy too!
can anyone tell me how to have that thing like in the vid like in the top right,
i men the speed height distance, pls pls need help bout it
if anyone knows just wrote the things needed pls thanks
It's called OSD or On Screen Display. I use PitLab autopilot with PitLab OSD.
Can a 1500 battery power a 1000mw vtx for an hr?
Why not? :) I use 3S 1500mah on this mini talon to power pitlab osd, runcam split and 1500mw 1.3Ghz vtx. After more than 60mins still got 11.1v.
You need a 10,000mah battery for the flight times you want. What connector, ill find a battery for you;
How do you connect sound from the mic to my googles for sound?
@@kywon_m_vlogs1742 I don't need 10 000mah for one hour flight :) at 6:10 on OSD screen you can see flight time: 61 minutes. With 10000 I get maybe +20 mins to my current flight time because total weight wery important and affect on glide characteristics. 1 hour with 5200mah much better than 1,5 hours with 10000.
About sound. I dont use it but if you want to listen just motor sound in flight you can connect mic to vtx.
You need alot of effecency for a long flight, powertrain?
omg, noe im very confused
sorry wrong type
Well done!
