Blackstar FPV

Blackstar FPV

Head tracking digital FPV is the future of the hobby where it takes regular old RC pilots like us into the cockpit of an airplane where you get a different perspective for RC flying.

Our aim as a group is to expand the horizon of fellow RC pilots to a new way of flying.
We share our techniques and equipment with hopes that you will be inspired to fly FPV with your friends. FPV air combat and formation flying bring s a team element to a very individual Hobby.

    Have you seen that girl who does FPV with cellular trucks and a full racing rig? It's pretty dope (channel cloudrc). But I like the head tracking.

    Anyone can do this with some dedicated friends and practice. Start with something easy to fly and less expensive like an Aeroscout or wing. Don't be afraid to mid-air and push yourself to get closer and closer each flight.

    would you agree the better pilot is not the lead but the wingman? My thought is the lead should just be smooth but the other position needs higher pilot skills@@BlackstarFPVDemoTeam

  • @BlackstarFPVDemoTeam
    @BlackstarFPVDemoTeamАй бұрын

    ​@@gsulliv1 Lead needs to be smooth and communicate VERY well, this cannot go unsaid. The lead needs to watch airspeed/alt, call out turns + corrections and maintain a heading to make a single trip in the pattern. You are setting up rest of the formation for success if you have a smooth confident Lead Pilot. The wings and trail positions need to use their headtracking, manage throttle and have great reaction timing while being very smooth. Wing positions needs a lot of practice and depending on which way the pattern going makes a huge difference. EXAMPLE: At our field, the outside wing goes FULL throttle on the turns to stay with the lead while the inside wing pulls the throttle to IDLE to not run into the lead.

    Interesting, and very smooth UI for setup. Are there any options for Autotune, or do you have to adjust PID values manually? Is is Mavlink compatible? Terrain following? well at any rate, nice to see alternatives to Inav and Arduplane being developed.

  • @BlackstarFPVDemoTeam
    @BlackstarFPVDemoTeam5 ай бұрын

    Thanks! Katana is intended specifically for small scale RC airframes, with designs grossly out of alignment with their low Reynolds numbers. In a contrast with a typical well-behaved FPV platform, this mismatch makes some warbirds and EDF jets almost diabolical to handle, mostly because of deficiencies in the static/dynamic stability. Katana helps with that. We also needed a way to avoid crashes caused by radio/video signal losses. Katana's a/p is there for these eventualities, to keep the model in the pattern established for a particular R/C field without causing traffic disruptions. Plus, of course, OSD with telemetry and entertainment options for dogfighting and racing. And we just added a power switch for the VTX to prevent overheats on the ground, this happens a lot on hot summer days and causes aborted takeoffs, e.g. while waiting for a busy runway to clear. Everything in a small enough form factor to fit into a typical 4s racer and simple enough to setup for an RC hobbyist. Autotune might be coming in the future, for now we are just building a library of popular models, so everyone will have a good starting point for gain settings. Professional grade flight autonomy will require more computing power and sensor fidelity. If we do this we wouldn't stop at terrain following. Most likely it will be a blend of full-on high speed SLAMing with depth perception AI to about a half a click range to tackle constrained airspace in urban environments, always a tempting challenge :-). Thank you for the kind words again, happy someone understands the complexity of making things like this simple.
