I meant the ARF he has bought. I don't know why they gave such a generic name to it.

Yep... I was referring to the same... just search for "Skywalker" here.

Sai was selling it earlier, and he showed me one when I visited his office.  He had also made one himself using the other one as a template.

I remember Skywalker but this is a totally different plane.

"Totally" ? Smiley  1.6m/1.8m, EPP, pusher.  Yes, T-tail, exposed rod for fuse etc are different, but same class. Anyways, just wanted to say that people have been doing similar things.

Most importantly, even if it is the 100th time, it is still a charm Wink

PS: My duty to remind all that long range FPV seems to be restricted, under AP guidelines/rules Sad

Thanks for the headsup Augustinev. I will not be flying the setup there anyways... I just downloaded the map as sample. I plan to fly with the 25km setup, way away from the city... maybe I will take help from Praveen to get to his farmhouse 40 km away.... Smiley
The last thing I would need is a legal implication... Not worth it at all. Not to worry.  Salute
Appreciate your inputs and help.  Thumbs Up

Thanks to Anwar as well for bringing this to notice. Smiley

Sai (rcforall) has been doing similar things for a while now. 

Anwar ,
I have my own air frame which at best could be described as a highly modified Skywalker using locally available 30kg/cu. m styrofoam hand made  Wink Grin
Done a couple of flights beyond 3 KM  but  cant go beyond as we are boxed in beyond that distance considering our flying location
So I guess have to live with this limitation for a while .
My LRS is Dragon link  which  has been flown beyond 20 km else where.
Had a severe Crash a few weeks back  with the plane slamming nose first  from an altitude of 116 m  at a terminal impact velocity of well over 100km/h.
Plane was write off but no damage what so ever to the electronics including the Auto Pilot . Proving that local HD styro is as good. Battery was a write off though Giggle
In fact I found that the fact that the styro gave way completely helped in decimating energy .

BTW we are their distributors in India should you need any tech support from the company let me know.
Sai

Sai, was wondering what is the legal status of the OSD in India.

Also, anyone has any views on FPV (first person view) flying - I mean is it illegal, or is it just that the rules are conspicous by their absence (as is the case for general RC flying), and therefore one should refrain.

Regards
Rishi

Hey saurabh, have a doubt regarding the HK fpv plane you have bought. Are the wings in two halfs like the easy star and could be removed for transportation?

There is no legal cover under the law of the land even for RC Flying. It was AMAI which set FPV out side the purview of Legal R/C Flying. Well, AMAI is still prove itself as governing body to lay laws/guideline for Indian citizens.

Till then, everything is Black, everything is White. Use your judgement and ability to convince authorities in event of any eventualities.

one law that i see it will be covered under would be , (a) FPV should be 25 Nautical Miles 46.3 Kms from nearest Airport (This is called the TMA i.e Terminal Manoeuvring Area ) (b) Outside this area max ht , if i am not mistaken is 1000 feet agl, above which Flight Plan is mandatory. If push comes to shove this is the rule DGCA will apply. Bottom line is all FPV guys need o fly it responsibly, one show off, one news piece and that will be the end of FPV in india.

Hi Foamybuilder,

Yes, there is a lot of space inside the fuselage. Infact the fuselage is quite huge indeed. I should easily hold a 6Cell 5000 mah pack. However, I will be using the 4 cell 5000 mah pack. The only problem is that, the inside space is a bit narrow for your hands to slip in.

Hi,
Yes, the wings are in 2 pcs and you can dismantle for transportation. However, I plan to epoxy them together for more sturdiness.

I received my FRSky DIY module with 2 receivers yesterday. I have installed it in my Turnigy 9X and it works really well.

Here is the video for installation guide.



My radio gear is ready for the FPV flight, however I am still waiting for the power setup to arrive.

I know I have been going slow on my FPV project, but thats how I intend it to be. Dont want to rush anything. Yesterday, I received my power setup for the EPP FPV plane. I will be installing it over the weekend and the flying starts soon after that. In the meanwhile, I also converted my Turnigy 9X to the FrSky system... Here are a few pics with stock antenna and a HIGH GAIN Antenna.

This is the converted radio WITHOUT any antenna.
