Fab idea but scale would make this problematic: however, change to a WW1 biplane with pilot and rear gunner. FPV pilot and FPV the gunner to shoot BB's or paintballs at a rival plane. All larder scale to make life easier to build. :) There are even WW2 carrier aircraft that this would work on if more fuselage volume is needed.

This smells like a DIY 3D print project to me. It would be really great to have plans for this or even .stl files. Also combining this with head tracking would be even more epic!

@wattwaster5936

4 жыл бұрын

Head tracking is already possible, but many pilots would need to limit their head movement to get over disorientation issues many tend to suffer from. Quad pilots have to get use to this also since they can easily fly their quad in any direction they want, so the challenge is to get use to the FPV gear and orientation during flight.

All the prototypes of John Overstreet make me drool and want to build ! The Me-262 on the wall is crying out to be my new Sloper for the summer, and the T-28 Trojan fascinates - please do keep us in the loop for the new designs as they come !

If you're still wishing you had feedback from the throttle, i'd recommend adding a 2nd potentiometer to the same throttle, and connect that to a vibrating panel between the chair and your back. Similar to how you would be able to feel an engine wind up and down.

The camera tech alone is amazing, but combine it with RC and WOW. Yeah, this definitely calls for further development on the cockpit. Don’t forget the ejection seat. ;-)

Since I was a kid, I have always wanted to see this. I don't follow the channel but these guys are very likeable, I love how much they enjoy doing this. Not just doing it for the views, they really do enjoy it.

Guys, that was great! Nice to see you fly together again. I want to do something similar but less stick movement. Thanks to Mattie for turning me on to a hand with my hobby. Working on a quad, the Versa Racer is next, have that frame and a Blur to build after. Was gonna the Versa first but another frame got here just ahead. Be well and stay safe. Oh...Got that Wished ordered I've been bugging you about!

To improve the imersion a gimbal on camera and head tracking will be amazing.

I think a 360 video, one you can freely look around with on youtube would be amazing. Like a flying tour of the grounds. Using the RC cockpit on something big and unwieldy would also be fun to see. The helicarrier, flying tank or flying cozy coup.

Wow. What a outside flight, I watched this fligt on my 42" tv. The quality was epic all the video angles brought an amazing experience to me watching. Thank you Flight Test Team.

Man... :'( You guys are doing what I've always wanted to do... I wish this was a sport, maybe "FPPR" (First Person Plane Racing) or "RC-FRL" (Remote Controled - Flight Racing League)... When the day comes, I'd LOVE to fly and race.

hi flitetest!! i am a big big fan of all your work! thanks for staying positive and fun

Flying a traditional RC Helicopter from the virtual cockpit would be sweet!

It would be Awesome to see the Roadrunner gas plane brought back to be flown with the new cockpit. The sound of the motor on that thing brings an extra level of realism all by itself.

Sick,Sick,SICK! Camera angles unreal the whole cockpit concept you've brought back to life. He would be proud I'm sure.

They should use the cockpit with the fastest play they got

Use this technology to recreate the Death Star bomb run having a course that lookes like the valley on the Death Star and drop a powder bomb in the reactor.

I own an insta360 one r and i can't wait for them to do a head tracker camera mod for any airplane I want to put it in. (input servo signal outputs from the camera video in that direction stabilized) That and a stereoscopic mod from the splitting mod for DJI.

I think this is the best video I've seen.. Ever.. I don't know how you Co ordinate the two craft but mega hats off to you all. And definitely you should build a full cockpit. Can't wait to see it. 👍

Literally any of their "mighty mini" series is pretty cheap. Their tiny trainer is super easy to fly and you could easily make one for less than $150 with batteries, chargers and everything.

Enthusiasm is contagious. Does a heart good to see such pure joy.

Did you guys ever think while making that first RC Video 9 years ago (TaylorCraft) that the hobby would have progressed this far? High Def. First Person View, Flight Stabilizers, Quad Copters, 360 HD Video Onboard Camera recording equipment, unbelievable what has happened in that time-frame. I am now 60 years old but this hobby keeps me feeling like I am 16 again. Keep it up guys!

The music in this reminded me of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time.

Can you guys make a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit plz. Like so the guys will see.

They need to make it augmented reality with the 360 camera so he can actually look around like a real cockpit.

I’m really excited about this project. I often have thought about a full motion simulator while flying FPV.

Excellent job boys, glad to see you flying having fun. Be safe

Some of the best footage i ever saw on Flite Test. Wonderful.

Please keep developing. I am sure this is going to be a new future hobby for everyone who loves flying.

Loved that, beautiful footage. This set up is exactly what I used to dream about being possible when I flew slope soarers as a kid back in the late 90s early 2000’s.

Definitely need to bring my trailer cockpit out for the next Flite Fest and have some added attractions. Love how Josh is so into flying the Bixler with his setup, I use my Extreme Surfer to give everyone the awesome feel of real type flying. He should try a few faster planes or one of the miniquads with it, totally different adrenaline rush.

All I can say, THAT WAS AWESOME!!! Been flying with the insta360 one X for a while now, really happy with it too. Bring us more low level proximity plane flying 🤘🏻

Very cool guys. Can't wait to see the decked out cockpit. Very jealous as very strict rules on FPV here now in Vancouver. Keep them coming.

As a pilot with a small budget, this is on my project list. I AM TOTALLY doing this.

That slow Mo shot was so so amazing. And it's good to see both of you jamming together.

A 2-axis headtracker on the plane would be the final icing on the cake!

That's some seriously great flying guys! Love these slightly crazy envelope-pushing projects.

This would be great with an OSD with all the altitude and everything! also can we have a build video on the cockpit chair PLEASE :)

That quad filming was ace, the 360 camera looks good too. Like how this is going. Rumbles/vibrations in the controls are definitely missing...

That little plane looks so happy flying around! Love it!!

The excitement in this video was 100% real, I felt it in my gut. Fantastic flying Josh and Alex, great launch Stephan. The support from the whole FT crew during these videos is why I love FliteTest. Feels so Natual like me and my buds Shooting the **** and flying RC. Stay safe out there you guys!

When you get the RC cockpit, I want one! I absolutely loved it. How close to actually flying can you get. Count me in!

Great flight, dudes. Nice to see the team together. It makes me smile.

that has got to be the coolest thing i have ever seen and the music just makes it even more epic now try it with a drone if thats possible

Thank you for that Flight‼️ Felt flyin with you, enjoyed that camera view‼️❤️✌️🇵🇭 from the Philippines‼️ Take care guys.

Love the energy!!! You guys are awesome 🤠

Yesss! And thank you. Can't wait for the full out cockpit build.

This one nails it all. Just awesome!

Hi guys that was fantastic watching you fly that plane. I know Josh lies a full-size plane as you could see when he went inverted he pushed his stick forwards it would nice it be nice to see someone who's never flown a full-size plane try it out. Ralph Cooling from the UK

This was amazing for me to watch fellas. Can't wait to see further developments!!!

Great stuff guys. Love the channel and your enthusiasm. How about a full helicopter cockpit with collective?

I love this channel because I love to watch you fly I am in a bad flying area and the flight places are 1 hour away but watching these makes me want to go and fly.

Really loved this video! The views, the friendship, the skills! ♡

Love how much fun Josh and Alex had flying together. So wholesome

You guys need to put some head-tracking on that cockpit setup for sure. Take it to the next level!

Great video. Looks like a ton of fun. Have you all thought about building maybe, at least 2 more cockpits and trying to fly in formation. I know it might take "a little" practice, but the end results would be phenominal.

This was fun guys, thank you. I want a cockpit RC set up, that would be the bomb. Now it's time to design indestructible RC planes for dog fighting from a pilot view. I think designing a plane that can survive full speed impact would be one hell of a challenge. Design a plane that is held together by magnets and comes apart but the parts are indestructible. Micro RC with cockpit set up would also be killer.

A full motion cockpit the feedback from the model would be awesome, if the model rolls and pitches the cockpit does too, also a helicopter cockpit flying a fpv quad would be wild too

You guys have far too much fun together. Keep it up.

This is the future of RC flying.

Absolutely fantastic, I agree this should be a sport. (Seat) SFPV RC Red Bull pylon racing. Good to see you guys having fun👍🏻

Awesome video! Great job!! Would love to see the cockpit used in a drop video. Mimic what the old dive bombers would do. To the community, keep flying stay safe!

My favorite flite test project by far.

This is the awesomest thing i've ever seen. now I know what I want for Christmas!!

Get ya an old video game arcade booth from the 80s, if you can find one. An old doctor friend of mine with too much money from our club back in the 80s built his virtual cockpit with a 19" glass TV and Amateur Radio TV downlink from the plane... It was fun to fly. He was written up in Model Aviation and a Ham mag back around 1989 or so. With todays tech this will be even easier to do again. You just need to find that old sit down video game booth and put curtains on either side to keep it dark in the cockpit. Anyway, really enjoyed this episode, brought back memories and I hope you guys will bring FliteFest back to the Austin area again someday soon. I had fun helping in the build tent with the kiddos.

360 A-10 Warthog! with airsoft combat!!!!!!!!! that would be soooooo awesome!! you'll get so many views!!!!

Ahhh so excited for the future this will bring to the flight world! That virtual cockpit is going to be so sick

Insta 360 has shown themselves to be top of the pack. The image quality from that 1" sensor is pretty astounding.

just love you guys for stuff like this

Competition with teams, 2 vs 2 one quad and one fixed wing per team. Whichever team has the most streamer left after time limit wins. This was sick.

first off, you could hook up a 360 cam inside a cockpit you make on the plane, then make it so you can look around in vr. adding shock absorbers to the back of the cam could give you a cool g-force effect, and you should add something to shake the chair when you accelerate fast enough. just some suggestions for better flight!

Guys that was brilliant and the cameras worked flawlessly thanks for the upload from Dublin Ireland.
