Since this is a new airplane and it’s the first FPV flight, I let someone else watch in FPV while I fly the plane. And why not try out my new DIY antenna and compare it with the stock antenna while I had the chance?

Woho! Finally I get that extra channel that I wanted. It was my good friend Christian that made me a deal on this T7CP 35MHz transmitter. But I don’t fly on 35MHz so I modified it to 2.4GHz using the “module” from my T6EX 2.4GHz transmitter. It turned out great and works like a charm. And while I was in there soldering I changed the red power led to a purple one, just to add that little extra.

Finally the weather cooperated long enough for me to get some video.
I edited the Blizzard video first and will finnish the Twin-Star one later.

Enjoy!

Yesterday I did some full-scale studies on an Air-show called “Flottiljens dag”. It was a beautiful day, just the right amount of wind to keep cool and an almost perfect blue sky. I brought the camera and took some pictures when I felt like it, but for the most part I just enjoyed the show. I went with my buddy Christian and his family and we had a blast! If you have not yet been to an air-show, you need to go to one!

The good guys Frank and Brian has been kind enough to mention me in episode 57 their podcast called R/C FlightCast again. They seem to like my homepage and my style of posting more pictures than words.

Thanks to Frank and Brian!
