My name is Demetrius and I'm new to this UAV/FPV world of fun. I would like to know what you think about my HK setup. I have not flown it yet. I want to fix it up for 1-2 mile FPV flight for now and maybe 5-10 miles…"

Jake Stew replied to Demetrius Armstrong's discussion ***Help*** What have I gotten myself into?"I've never used anything but the 9X and a cheap Chinese 5 channel that I modded to 6, then somehow lost the damn thing.
Vernon Barry uses Spektrum gear and swears by it."
Demetrius Armstrong replied to Demetrius Armstrong's discussion ***Help*** What have I gotten myself into?"I'm considering purchasing a Specktrum DX7 with a receiver, 4 servos and a switch, from the president of a local RC club here in Indiana for $200. Is that a good deal?

Demetrius Armstrong replied to Demetrius Armstrong's discussion ***Help*** What have I gotten myself into?"See I would say the same thing... "Screw it!" I just wanna fly, but I know that if you don't follow some of the principles of aerodynamics, you may pay for it on way or another (ie. time, money). I want to meet people that have…"

Nice your setup! Some thounghts:
1- I really like Bixler. But it needs some improvements, reinforcements to be better. Just follow this RC groups thread ( http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1231310 ).
Just implement some fiberglass and carbon fiber rods, strips etc.
2- I'm from Brazil, and here we be able to operate 1.2 ~1.3Ghz frequencies, these gives you nice range. But 433 ~ 900Mhz give you better range yet, in video and Telemetry, think about.
These 5.8Ghz that you planning, is so "weak" range and no very good intensity. But I think these one in able to RC/UAV in States, right?
But NEVER choice for Vtx/Rx 2.4GHz, is cause lots interference in telemetry systems.
To much power (1.500mW etc) is not good, at all. As a friend says: "if you shout loud, you will hear loud"... so, the balance is better.
With a chinese cheap 1.2Ghz 500mW (canal 3 1280Mhz) Vtx/Rx, I reach 7km range in filed. With simple/standard 2dB dipoles antennas.
3- The Cam + tilt: Could you looking a Cam (CCD/CMOS) simple, without case/mount specifically to FPV, is better that. I don't like this "kits", because is easy to get/buy, but not is best for our hobby. Visit: http://www.securitycamera2000.com.
This store has huge stock/options, and many choices. My gest.
4- I had Cyclops NOVA OSD. Storm is better than. Good choice. Don't forget to get a USB recorder, for firmware upgrades, onle $10 +.Hey, BEVRC had better prices, comparative with Foxtechfpv Check out: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1231310
Welcome to FPV, congrats and regards. Sorry for my poor, very poor english...
