I come back and re watch this video every so often as I progress with my fpv flying. Each time I get something new from it. It has been a valuable source of information. Thanks Ed.
Ed, Not only are your ideas creative and unique, you have impressive presentation and organizational skills. Your videos are clear, concise, tightly edited. Most of all, it pleases an old curmudgeon to see that there are still people younger than I who sound educated, can spell, and use proper English. Thanks for all you've contributed.
Once again,great job Ed.I've been in contact with alot of FPV flyers that go way past their limits and/or fly in inappropriate areas.More often than not,they put all their trust in equipment they aren't at all familiar with and all they wind up with is disaster videos and busted up planes.A small amount of knowledge is a dangerous thing-thanks for letting us learn from your mistakes...keep 'em flying!
Lots of great tips and information. I've made a few of the same mistakes you mentioned. There's nothing more frustrating than driving all the way out to your flying location then realizing you've forgotten something important at home.
Thank you! Hearing about your experience and advice is invaluable. As a novice RC flyer who wants to get into FPV, I feel like I've gained some experience just hearing about what you did. I liked your advice on the Fat Shark. You're absolutely right about jumping right into a $350 part, it a heck of a commitment. Please make more of these advice videos!
Quite simply, this is the best video about FPV I have seen to date. Despite the "not a how-to" and "not advice" disclaimers, the video is rich with top-notch information on how to avoid mistakes and taught me more than one or two things about FPV. Thanks for posting.
Great video, Ed. I don't often comment on your videos, but I have watched most of them, and I really appreciate your concise delivery and the quality of the information. This video has SO much invaluable information. Cheers from Canada!
Hi Ed, I am just getting started at RC Plane building and flying and have been watching and reading a lot of info on these subjects, thanks to people like you that take the time and put in a lot of effort to produce informational videos it is very educational for newbies like me.... Thanks very much , hope you achieve all you wish for ;-)
GREAT video! Actually, all of your videos are great. Right now, I happen to be getting into F P V and I found that this video has lots of super info that I need at this point. Not only do your videos have much needed info, but your calm demeanor helps to communicate the information a lot easier than the youtubers that have had too much caffeine. Hey, thanks for all your videos, and blessings on your future projects. Ansley
Great points. I'm sure a lot of people see these guys geared to the max and flying 5 miles and feel that that's the way they have to go not realizing the steps that was taken to get to that point. I recently took an FPV step back myself until I get better at it.
Many thanks for taking the time to share your experiences. I am just getting back into model aeroplanes, with a longer term goal of longer distance FPV, and your video is extremely helpful. I got a really good understanding of things to consider first, and you have probably saved me a ton of money !! Thanks again, NeilP
I agree with your comments on RTH on the Storm OSD, Every time I hit the switch my plane always comes home within 100 meters. It so far seems very reliable and has not let me down.
Thanks for taking the time to put so much useful information in one video Ed! As a total noobe to RC, I know I would have made many of those mistakes you covered! I just know how I get so wrapped up in a new hobby and go overboard in buying the things I "think" I need without the knowledge to make the correct choices. Love following your builds also.
very well done. very helpful. i must say, that the myflydream automatic antenna tracker was a great purchase. it came with an osd, that i really like. 1.2/1.3 is great like you said. 433 lrs is also great. right on info!
Ed, Thanks again for sharing your exxperiances with all, Your AXON is my primary trainer, Practicing all you build technics have really helped me to enjoy building and flying, The info about FPV, Top notch, Though I'm months away from FPV, The considerations are a little easier now that you have brought experianced issues to light, As Always Thanks for sharing .
Thanks Ed, I guess with all of your knowledge, I'm going to re-think on FPV. I'd like to get into FPV but I don't want to spend a ton, especially with today's times the way they are. SO, I'll just keep watching you videos and keep learning... Slowly. Thanks for all you do for this hobby. Keep building and flying. Thanks again for an awesome informative video.
I have to say thank you once more! I saw your inverted vee and it inspired me to make one for myself. I've been flying 1.3GHZ for a little while and, convinced CP was the way, built a cloverleaf and a helical. A helical is a bit unwieldy. Cool looks to beat the band, but darn awkward. And cloverleaf? I would equate it to the testicle of the fpv system, a delicate component hanging out where it is subject to damage. I have been struggling to keep a strong video link as the darn things keep getting bent up. I saw your vee and it looked so stout and simple, I was inspired to build it, along with a patch antenna today. I tried them out and wow! Linear polarization is A-OK for 1.3! 2.3 miles without an issue. No issues with banks either, the vee is beastly! So thank you!
Ed - Very useful info on FPV considerations. Also, your build techniques are exceptionally creative and useful. Needless to say, I will now begin to hoard gazillions of plastic gift cards for use in my future foam builds. Many thanks!
I have to say thanks for all your amazing videos. You have such a calm classy style it makes them a pleasure to watch and learn. Now I am going to go build a tube and mount my old Bixler wings (they alone survived a bad crash a couple of years ago) and have some fun. I knew I would find a way to get them back in the air. :-)
Good info. I have been doing this for about the same amount of time and I agree with everything you have said. The only thing I would add is try the penguin from RMRC first. It is so easy to fly, has landing gear and it is a fun plane.
Thanks for all the info. I am just starting out in FPV and will use some of the suggestions you made. Great videos from BM too. We go every year. I hope to have my quad out there this year to get some good video. Thanks again for taking the time to do this video.
Very helpful! Was considering FPV and am slightly wary, but you have made known some of the many important decisions to be made before diving in! Thanks again!
Ed - This was a great video. I follow all your adventures, and GREATLY appreciate the efforts you take to share your experiences with the flying community. I recently built and flew (successfully) an Axon (short version) based on your video series. The Axon was my first full-size airplane to fly in 5-6 years. It's put the fun back in building and flying. Maybe FPV in the future. In any event - Thanks!
Great video! I'm just starting to get into FVP, and this vdeo couldn't have come at a better time for me. This should be required watching for anyone looking to get into it.
Thanks for that information. I plan on using my FPV for our Search and Rescues in the South Texas waters so needless to say it's going to be exposed to salt water. It will be launched and recovered from the boat so I need to do my homework on this one for sure. The information you provided is great. Thank you for that.
Great show Ed.. I found all of the above...except I do no fly out of LOS...so no need for the long distance radio. IMHO, I never want to have to tramp through peoples yards hunting for my plane, instead, I will just drive up to it.. in the field...not to mention it could take out a windshield if it happens to hit a vehicle. I'm plenty happy (and much safer) tooling around the club field and taking visitors for a ride on a model airplane...always WoW! as it leaves the runway.
Hi Ed, very informative Video with tons of things to consider when starting with fpv. What you also should mention is that you should check if your RC-Model Insurance (in some Countrys a must have) includes FPV in its Insurance or if you need a additional Insurance to cover FPV Fllight. Friend of mine found out the hard way that his RC-Model Insurance (for ground-, water- and air RC-Models) didnt included FPV Flight and he had to pay the Damage by himself (hit 6m x 2,2m window which broke ...)
I think you mean OSD (on screen display), and yes, I use a Skylark TinyOSD as first choice and also use a NOVA Cyclops OSD which is pretty decent. They're about $80-150 depending on features and are very handy.
Nice breakdown and the best way to learn is trial and error. I like using my 4.3tft screen with 2x reading glasses and GoPro headband mount. No black edge like goggles but I will buy some one day.
To start consider saving a lot of money by using a Turnigy 9X or OrangeRX transmitter and receiver, DSM compatible, and make all your planes from foam to save maximum money. You can of course recycle all the electronics if you crash. Choose motors that are flexible between planes so you can reuse them. Get lots of 9g servos and use them for everything. Get a better transmitter or add-on module as you progress.
Great vid, thanks for sharing your experiences. I'm just starting, my first step will be with 72mhz on the rc equip, 200mw on the 2.4ghz BlackWidow video, 5db stick antenna on the tx, patch antenna on the rx, no osd. I have a short 12" rubber ducky style wound antenna for my rc tx, it's not the JR base loaded type it gives great range when you point the antenna at the model, I need to test the range. I've heard that the last 6" of a 72mhz antenna should point straight up for best range.
Nice to see someone think outside the box and provide a unique video. Thanks for contributing! I just wish I could listen and adhere to all of your advice, the problem I have is that I unfortunately already know I will break one or two of your recommendations just because I am too stubborn. Anyways, thanks alot! Looking forward to more vids from you!
Apples-to-apples I would probably choose 2.4GHz in that situation (as long as you're not using it for control too), though you could have plenty of fun with 5.8GHz close in. Flat terrain is more forgiving of 5.8GHz - fewer reflections from hills and buildings. The challenge is to get distance out of 5.8GHz you'll probably need to do more "milking" of with directional antennas, etc. to go farther. I would just think first about whether you might ever want to go beyond a 1-2 miles.
Thanks for a great video. I've declared this year "the year of FPV" for me. I've already acquired a Dragon Link system. I was glad to hear from someone experienced that this is a good first choice. I'll be considering your advice carefully as I progress.
Thank you. This vid was one of my basic starting points to get a view on what is important, what to get and what not. Though in Europe (Germany) some rules that apply to radio frequencies must be followed. More or less, we are forced to use 5,8Ghz for video and 2,4 or 35Mhz for RC.
Great video.Highly entertaining presentation. Keep up the great work. Just starting into FPV. Love it and look foward to building one of your planes. out
My only complaint about this video is that it wasn't made 2 years ago! This was a "checklist" of all the same mistakes I made! Great stuff! I'm sure this will help a ton of new folks
Thanks for the video! I'm early enough that this will be saving me lot's of heartache, unfortunately I've already bought into the spectrum line, so I'm stuck there. I hope that isn't going to hold me back too much. I'm not planning on flying miles away any time soon, but I would like a reasonable FPV distance. It's a really fine line between investing and budget when you have a very limited amount to spend. Thanks for saving me on some of those costly mistakes.
Thanks for all this great advice, I'm slowly getting FPV and you've given me a lot of things to think about as well as a direction to head in. Much appreciated!
Hi Ed another very informative video. Wish I had caught this one when it was uploaded. Tried Orange lrs it was a bust, but the mail lady just now dropped a Dragon Link at the door :) Keep on rock'n the rc world my friend...
That is a great point, and something which will certainly become a more important consideration in a lot of ways for us RC pilots, and commercial UAV operations in the future. Personally I am terrified of damaging property or hurting humans so I fly only over wilderness, or at least with a wide open bailout area immediately available. I will definitely get insurance as soon as it exists. Man, that was a large and spendy window!!
Thanks for your information. It was very interesting and appreciated. Basically, the 'KISS' principle applies. Thanks again, and I enjoy all your videos. I have learned a lot, and am now starting my foamboard carrier.
The best information I have seen to date. I am about to get into FPV, and you just saved me a great deal of frustration, not to mention money. Thank you. I still would like to know exactly where to begin.
Damn it, just started building something very similar to the Ozone :P Anyway, great videos man, just relaxing by sitting through a fair few of them this evening. You really are helpful in both inspiration and technical tuition. I wish I had seen your videos earlier.
This is absolutely one of the most FRIGGING useful videos out there, THANKS!

Hi, that was fab I am now reading about getting into fpv for the last 2 years off and on. And I am just about to make all the mistakes you mentioned! So, great advice, much appreciated. Cheers, Dirk
Hi Ed, all of your videos are excellent. You have helped tens of thousands, understand the modern RC Hobby, as noted by 18.000 subscribers and over 2 Million views of your videos. Thanx for sharing your mistakes, to help others avoid similar mistakes.........cheers
Thx Ed the J Scott was an engineering marvel. Keep it up ,where's your Bipe .You mentioned it was on your list. checkout Ft's landing gear but go one size bigger than 2mm it's not as wimpy.(ks 506 3/32in or 2.38mm)
Great video ... with solid advice ...just happened upon the vid and am now a subscriber. I am also a ham and will look back thru your vid's to learn more about the long range 433Mhz gear and learning process. Thanks !
Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hey, Thanks for the experience. You helped me decide how I want to go with my Scale Eagle.
Thanks for the info. My son just flew the maiden on our Mikey's RC FPV yesterday, so we're just getting started in this. I appreciate your insight.
Great points. I'm sure a lot of people see these guys geared to the max and flying 5 miles and feel that that's the way they have to go not realizing the steps that was taken to get to that point. I recently took an FPV step back myself until I get better at it.

Thanks for the help and all of you time in the video's. Have watch lots of them. I am new to this FPV and RC flying. Helped out very much.

You have a good RTH and use it properly, so a great choice on your part. Mine just wasn't up to par and was a disappointment.
I have to say thanks for all your amazing videos. You have such a calm classy style it makes them a pleasure to watch and learn. Now I am going to go build a tube and mount my old Bixler wings (they alone survived a bad crash a couple of years ago) and have some fun. I knew I would find a way to get them back in the air. :-)
Great video! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences. I'll start FPV soon....
Excellent video, very informative. The part about taking to much gear to the field is so true.
Good info. I have been doing this for about the same amount of time and I agree with everything you have said. The only thing I would add is try the penguin from RMRC first. It is so easy to fly, has landing gear and it is a fun plane.
All GoPro, for flight, bench, and talking-head videos. External lapel mic is a must.
Thanks for all the info. I am just starting out in FPV and will use some of the suggestions you made. Great videos from BM too. We go every year. I hope to have my quad out there this year to get some good video. Thanks again for taking the time to do this video.
Great video Ed...your right so many thing that you said i learned too late...hopefully this will help others before they make those same mistakes.
Thanks for the tips! I have used several parts of your designs in some of my own scratch builds. Considering some fpv now. Keep the videos coming!
Very helpful! Was considering FPV and am slightly wary, but you have made known some of the many important decisions to be made before diving in! Thanks again!

Thanks for that information.

Wonderful advice. I'll try and avoid your mistakes, and make some of my own ! Thank you.

Keep it simply!!! I always love that theory to all things... The more there is to go wrong, the more that will go wrong..

Splendid! Thank you for taking the time to do this. Unfortunately, all I did was agree with the mistakes as I have just finished making a lot of them.
Thanks for all this great advice, I'm slowly getting FPV and you've given me a lot of things to think about as well as a direction to head in. Much appreciated!
Hi Ed another very informative video. Wish I had caught this one when it was uploaded. Tried Orange lrs it was a bust, but the mail lady just now dropped a Dragon Link at the door :) Keep on rock'n the rc world my friend...
Excellent video. Very informative and great presentation. Nice and simple and to the point. Thanks!
That is a great point, and something which will certainly become a more important consideration in a lot of ways for us RC pilots, and commercial UAV operations in the future. Personally I am terrified of damaging property or hurting humans so I fly only over wilderness, or at least with a wide open bailout area immediately available. I will definitely get insurance as soon as it exists. Man, that was a large and spendy window!!
Sure enough, have fun and take it easy. Nice to hear from you again.
Thanks for your information. It was very interesting and appreciated. Basically, the 'KISS' principle applies. Thanks again, and I enjoy all your videos. I have learned a lot, and am now starting my foamboard carrier.
The best information I have seen to date. I am about to get into FPV, and you just saved me a great deal of frustration, not to mention money. Thank you. I still would like to know exactly where to begin.
This is fantastic! Thank you for posting this as I'm about to really get into FPV and your comments will be my guide as I move forward! Awesome!
Awesome !! Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together for us ...
Thank you! I am looking to assemble my first FPV setup and you really helped me answer some nagging questions. Cheers!
Thanks for your time and experience dude : ) My long journey into FPV research has begun!
Thanks Ed. Am not as far down the rabbithole with FPV as you but agree strongly with yr comments re goggles and keeping setup simple.
Damn it, just started building something very similar to the Ozone :P Anyway, great videos man, just relaxing by sitting through a fair few of them this evening. You really are helpful in both inspiration and technical tuition. I wish I had seen your videos earlier.
This is on of the best videos for beginners I have see yet.
All good info.
Being a ham I appreciate your coverage of our frequencies. As allways great job. Thanks K4CTW
Ed nice vid as always. Nice to hear you point out the Amateur Radio requirements. I too am Licensed KG4UXR. Keep up the good work....
This is absolutely one of the most FRIGGING useful videos out there, THANKS!
Hi, that was fab I am now reading about getting into fpv for the last 2 years off and on. And I am just about to make all the mistakes you mentioned! So, great advice, much appreciated.
Cheers,
Dirk
Thanks Ed, some great tips. I'm with you on the goggles, I'm glad I got them from day 1 of FPV.
really good straight forward info.. nice job
thanks for sharing your experiences - I certainly learned a few very important tips
Hi Ed, all of your videos are excellent. You have helped tens of thousands, understand the modern RC Hobby, as noted by 18.000 subscribers and over 2 Million views of your videos.

Thx Ed the J Scott was an engineering marvel. Keep it up ,where's your Bipe .You mentioned it was on your list. checkout Ft's landing gear but go one size bigger than 2mm it's not as wimpy.(ks 506 3/32in or 2.38mm)
Congratulations on your DragonLink. I would still be curious how the OrangeLRS worked, or didn't as the case may be.
All great advice, Thank you Ed.

Great Video! Thanks so much for sharing!
Excellent video. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who bought all that stuff in the beginning. 433/1.2 is the only way to fly FPV!
Great video! Thanks for sharing your experience. I am pretty sure it will save many people a lot of grief and money.
Great video, i´m just starting in fpv and this was very usefull.
