Total fantasy: But what if we use remote control planes to do the dog-fight for us within the future? The year would be like, 2050 or 2060, and humans would no longer pilot planes within planes, but rather somewhere on the ground. Therefore decreasing the percentage of deaths within mid-air battles by a lot. Although there is a lot of flaws with this, it's just a cool thought that I'd like to share about. But like, with remote control planes, you wouldn't need to worry about G force or death. But you would need to worry about the distance, and how strong your connection with that plane is. Lose connection, and that plane is going to fly into the ground. You can also have your plane hijacked, but I'd hope that they'd fixed that with super powerful malware defenses. _Tesla, but planes_ lol

​@@StigBSivertsen It's been done for 1/10 rwd drift cars but, never seen it on an aircraft. Getting the gyro/accelerometer data sent down with the telemetry to the TX would be ideal for simplicity and probably lower latency. I know that data should be available in mavlink/MWC but, then it's a matter of taking that raw data and creating an algo to interpret it for feedback. You're gonna need to be familiar with coding and pid loops and then probably a decent amount of hours of your time this is before even thinking about the physical build.

Very well done! Bruce Simpson started something like this a while back, but I don’t think he’s finished it yet. There was another chap who built an enclosed trailer containing a hooded cockpit with a large monitor for the visuals, ventilation fans, etc... so these things are out there, but yours seems to offer the most bang for the bucks. I’m really looking forward to future episodes! On a related note, you could probably adapt a throttle/stick/rudder gaming setup by wiring the various switches to modes, rates, etc. on the transmitter board. That would give a more natural feeling in the stick too. Whatever, you done good, so hurray! :-D

Nice job, i like how its all mechincal. Maybe make the carbon rod longer. Also, if you did, you could build a box around the top and add bungees to add some tension. For the pedals, you make want to make them adjustable so kids feet can reach. You could also add springs in reverse on them to act as that push you mentioned. Think of two mouse trap springs applying force in opposite directions while the bungees balance the load

I’m insanely jealous

Fpv with a 360 camera would really add to the realism! Turn your head and look around...epic! Great video guys!

The box was strapped to your fore arm, and it had a side stick (like a fighter jet) that would fit in your hand for line of sight flying.
