Kai Tak Apr2009

In the ground station you see in the last two photos. This is the gear I am using, an 1.2G 500mw video transmitter coupled with a receiver using a stock whip antenna. The recording device in the photo is an Archos 605, which makes AVI files of DV quality (640x480 25frames/sec). A video splitter (the yellow adapter) is connected to the video goggles and the recording gadget. There is no degradation of picture quality. The 1.2G receiver set at channel 1 is powered by a reliable source of 3-cell 1300mah Li battery. I fly this 3D EPP plane, Hyperion Sniper 3D of 1m wingspan, with FPV gear because of its light weight and highly agile response. The gross flying weight is approximately 600g, which somehow makes it a bit difficult to fly in windy conditions. A camera is mounted on a pan servo, and a tilt servo is adhered to the camera's back. The transmitter of 13 grams is powered by a 3-cell 500 mah Li battery which can be charged on the flying field using portable e-sky 3-cell Li charger. The video was taken at Kai Tak Airport, an international airport of Hong Kong before 1998. It is now a construction site and of course a lovely place for all rc lovers. The plane was flown right above runway 31. My gear was purchased at www.inno-flight.com.
