A lot of people wanted to know what these proximity passes they see in our videos look like unedited, from top to bottom. So we went through the archives and dug up some we haven't shown yet, and made a quick video. Hope you like it:
Comment by trappy on June 10, 2012 at 8:22am you are more than welcome to try. in the interest of safety, we only fly with highly proofed equipment in the way that you see in the video :)
Comment by Philippe Petit on June 10, 2012 at 8:25am Yeah sorry, not time. (and no aircraft nor controller). But keep up the good work I really like your videos always very nice flown & edited!
Comment by Jerry Normandin on June 10, 2012 at 10:29am Intense! How did you get you wing to be that responsive ? I noticed the roll to the left to avoid a tree. What frequency band do you use for telemetry ? Also, does an autopilot kick in if you loose signal ?
That's some great flying skills.
Comment by trappy on June 10, 2012 at 10:32am Jerry, thanks! lots of expo is the key. we have 80% on aileron usually. though we didn't go over half the roll rate on any of these maneuvers :)
Telemetry is sent down via the 2.4GHz audio channel. Flight is done over 2.4GHz video channel. We're working on a RTH solution based on the APM2. RiSCyD (TBS member) has installed it and used it successfully already, the goal now is to teach the plane how to return of it flies behind montains, etc.
Impressive. As always. Thx Trappy.
