There is an anti-social bird in my favourite flying area, trying to shoot me out of the air whahah ;) . He has hit my plane several times and I even had to land once, because he flipped my video TX antenna upside down in a 45 degree angle causing blackouts in my video goggles. You can clearly hear the bird following and attacking me, listen for "thump" sounds and watch for irregular behaviour of my airplane!!
I will fly in other areas from now on until breeding season has passed, so this VERY protective bird can do his thing!
RC SETUP: Multiplex Easystar airplane, Permax 480 4D inrunner brushless motor on a 3s 2200mAh LiPo, GoPro HDHERO camera with 5.8GHz video TX. Futaba 2.4GHz rc link. DIY ski goggle with built in display, XGY1000 HeadTracker.
P.S. Thanks to MR HENSHOOTER for revealing the species name, which is: PLOVER. I checked it out on the net and all characteristics seem to match. A PLOVER also breeds in cornfields, and guess what, there are cornfields where I am flying over.....
Thanks mate!!!

Actually, I have to thank YOU, because thanks to your video I decided to buy my first RC-toy. Yesterday I spend the whole day searching on the internet for a Easy Star RTF. Since it seems not to be available anymore, I ended up ordering a Bixler V1.1... I think that one will work to get me started in this amazing and beautiful RC world Thank you again!
I was kind of surprised by the bird's determination!! Even the fact that he chases a "bird" maybe 10 times his own size!
That bird needs to be fined $10,000 for endangering an aircraft.

No ACM (Air Combat Manuvering), no attempt to get on the bird's six... weak!

Check out my comment above. He did get on the Bird's 6 at 5:52 but overall I agree. He yielded his 6 to the birds. And then boom at 7:45 he pulls a real maneuver, had he not kept that stuff up his sleeve he could have used the planes superior power/weight ratio to over come the birds agility
Talk to me,Goose!

Loved it! No music, just the sound of the wind and motor. Just like the real thing.
give the model plane a bb gun lol for dogfights

Airsoft m249 gearbox, hop up and barrel nestled in the nose would take care of that bird. Although this pilot did a horrible job of flying. He yielded his 6 to the bird for most of the video
Hey James, great video, cant stop watching it. You inspired my into getting your exact setup although the only problem is what rc controller are you using? The standard 3 channel radio tx receiver doesnt look so good :/
Absolutely AWESOME!!! I am new to all of this and have a couple of Quad's....Later when I am a bit better would like to move to something like what you are doing! Great job! Thanks for sharing!
I like the dashboard, it gives you reference of attitude of the plane. nice setup..
Wow! you are a Excellent pilot!. Amazing video. Congratulations! its a real air war.
SERIOUSLY good video - and very entertaining to watch. That low pass across the ploughed field was incredible. Keep up the good work Mate.
That is a really thrilling effect. It was like I was in that plane, and able to look around me, -so it was more like a 'first person experience' ! (Vicarious.) Interesting expression there. Remember when people used to experience things first hand ? Now we just seem to want a virtual experience so we don't have to suffer the inconvenience (of being mangled-up in a real airplane crash, in this case !) Great footage. Quite extraordinary.
niice, the headtracker gives it such a nicer FPV flight system man! congrats on the vid and setup
Great video with no break-up or loss of picture so looks a great set up.
from ARGENTINA:impresionante ,espectacular thanks for this video
Nice job. Head Tracking is sweet and the instrument panel is a nice touch.
That's so cool how your camera rotates, and it's good enough quality to feel like your looking out of a real plane.
It is really cool-looking. I also like how you put the "cockpit" panel in front of the camera. Sweet vid!
Thats great. Love the set up and detailed dash too. Nice FPV
this is awesome setup and video man !!
Very cool cam set up, & some nice flying too!
8:24 "They just kept on coming... hitting me until the very end." AWESOME VID!
Really great gimbal set-up and positioning! Ever thought of putting some rear-view mirrors on the dash board?
I like the control panel you use Very nice !!!!! and good pilot too
One of the best FPV videos I've ever seen!
EPIC! lol i love how the birds makes a sound before it strikes. Nice dogfighting video.
Dude, that was NUTS! What an experience!
That is so cool and this is what makes this hobby even more fun
one of the best fpv vid that i have seen. the bird scene adds masala (spice)to the vid.
Dude that was fun to watch . Great job.
Really like the ability to look around. very cool video.
Thanks for a very entertaining and fun video!!!
That video is jsut brilliant, you get the feeling you are actually riding shotgun with the pilot. Love the wind noise when flying upwind only for it to drop when you downwind. Love it
Outstanding video and I like your GLASS panel.
great quality, nice cockpit ;) awesome sound and incredible view with the HT enabled:) good work!!
Excellent video! Makes me want to buy one!
I like how you made the cockpit very neat :)
Awesome, i have 10 planes that really need this to bring some fun back into flying 😎
Highly impressed at the birds ability to match the climb rate. The bird is clearly more maneuverable. Climbing right hand turn at 5:52 won you the bird's 6 and that was the only instance of it. 7:45 Another Bird Strike while a second is seen flying lower (multiple bogies), and right after that incident you pull a very nice maneuver. The whole time I thought the plane wasn't capable of anything like that. If you had used randomized spinning dives like that paired with aggressive sweeping climbs over and over you likely could have used the planes power to weight ratio to overcome the birds agility. Over all it seemed you were reserved and the birds won the day.

Well said
Wow that's awesome dude! Best dog fight video I've ever seen ; D Hey instead of the fake instruments you should put a little convex mirror there to check your six! Also the GoPro quality is excellent, with your pan & tilt it really lends a sense of being in the cockpit of the little foam plane! Really well done !!
Great video and flying!!!
I love it, a little 1V1 with nature, nice flying, beautiful area, thank you for the video. Keep the blue side up and the pointy end in the wind....
The maneuver at 7:50 WOW!
thanks for posting ,amazing video
That bird got a some exercise chasing that RC plane. No harm done. Great video too.

Bird may have been hit by the prop but yea nothing major. An EDF jet would be safer
Great watch...had me in stitches...love the center console...:-)
Oh man, this is great ! Your color scheme and quiet plane made that bird sure he could harrass you away like they do all the big birds. This is great too because you left the audio untouched (I prefer it that way) - we are riding on the nose getting whacked left and right hearing the bird give us hell !!
Totally awesome. I want this setup
awesome video qaulity like your setup and thanks for posting fantastic vid and watchout for plovers on your 4 oclock position over! stay safe happy flying man! mycyvee over and out
so the modern dogfight tactics where no match to plover :D Nice video!
That is seriously cool!
omg! this is a project that i want to start! congratulations! i will try to build my own!!! amazing!
ANOTHER 1 OF MY EPIC ANSWERS: Dude, take me to your dealer, he seems to have GREAT sh*t...... ;)
Thank you for the nice comment! I made an opening in the fuselage just under the wings, where I have the VIDEO TX battery, and the main battery is as far back as possible, then with some elevator trim and loads of thrust everything works pretty good!! Greetings...
Plovers will do the 'Broken Wing Act" also....Amazing to see. many birds do it, Ruffed grouse, ect. Great to see
looks like the camera sneezes every now and then. great video.
Very cool first person pilots view on flight. Were you wearing glasses with headset to hear the actual sound as well or just straight video screen with speakers on controls? Great flying BTW, I liked that split S maneuver you did but wasn't sure if that was enough to evade the bird. It looked great from that perspective. Wasn't sure if you throttled back when you heard the bird getting close to not hurt the bird and your equipment but I'm glad there were no losses! Thanks for great footage.
that was fantastic,look forward to more vids.
Now that is soo cool with a head tracking headset.
7:51 I've been waiting for this move all day!
Very entertaining video mate, it was interesting to see how you tried to escape ;-D
thats a great setup!
Wow this is so cool, thxs for the video.
Wow very nice! Great camera, deserves more views! Hope you post up more amazing videos like this one! Thumbs up, and subscribing!
it's like an action movie. thanks for sharing
Very cool! I've had eagles play chicken with me when I was in a (full scale) Cessna 182 -- that's a 2800 pound airplane! (I'm the one who flinched though, LOL)
lol this is out of the ordinary. I love this. I think its pretty funny!!! cool video
AMAAZZIINGG lol Bird: this airspace aint big enough for the two of us! Pilot: Cool story bro, needs more planes!
Bird: this is Seagull 1-1, an unknown aircraft has entered the avian airspace, permission to shoot down the aircraft... Nest: you may engage hostile... Bird: roger, pursuing... fox two! fox two! *collision* Bird: target hit. going for another run...
it's pretty amazing that your video TX on duty such a long time. and even the sound too. one day i will something like this:D i got to work a lot im affraid. btw someone told me that hd video cannot being transmitting. very cool vid! i reallí liked it! take care of birds;)
Thank you!! I have no idea if birds are influenced in any way by RF signals, but in this case it was all about the bird protecting his nest, that was in the field close to where I took off.
Great video more dog fighting with birds needed
I saw a couple of fly-bys but no bird attack. Nice setup though. Looks like your vertical panning servo has a bad gear tooth, but left and right is great. Nice setup! I have an Easy Star with an ArduPilot but no FPV. Looking forward to adding that someday. For now just what I can record with a GoPro. What FPV setup are you using? Are you working with a screen or glasses?
thats taking angry birds to a new level :) thanks for the giggles and nice flying !
Awesome video!
This ist Soo Awesome!!! :-o
It's so funny watching a bird attacking an FPV airplane! You fly really good and your camera moves really nice! Thanks for your great video! Subscribed.
Very cool. Nice landscape where ever it is you live.
what an awesome video!!
Such a cool video!!
You really need a tail-gunner! Great video.
have you ever thought of somehow attaching an airsoft bb gun turret to the plane. you might need a co pilot to do the actual shooting but it wont hurt the bird if it does hit it and even if it doesnt it would still be cool to get video of that too. great video dude.
AWESOME video.. Great Flying!! The camera work is so cool..... I like the dog fighting lol....
7:50, Awesome move, even the wind noise increases
Great video. Thanks for sharing :)
I saw you go after him at 6:07, nice
Nice work!!! :)
This is awesome!
wonderful ... for sure the funniest FPV flying video i've seen so far! :-)
GREAT VIDEO AND FLIGHT :) I got exited :D
Awesome air combat :-D
nice video setup!
really nice, can you tell which camera are you use? my camera has 5 seconds delay after sending record image, so I cant drive well
Nice video! You got off lucky! Some dufus around here had an easystar, painted it black, flew it when there were Black Cockatoo's around. A pair of them saw it, tore it to pieces! Ripped of the tail, shredded the wings!
amazing video, u r vey lucky to have sucj equipment
great vid, love it,
hello, has the video transmited the same quality than the one recorded by the GoPro? I mean, do you fly in 1080p?
What's your camera setup? I see it's a gopro but what do you have that enables the turning view?

I did more research after lol stupid question I realize now
Very nice clip. Well done! And I have a silly question too. Is it possible that the frequency used for transmitting the video or flying disturbs the bird?
