Ace Combat demo - Airplane Laser Tag
Просмотров 6 тыс.3 года назад
This is the Ace Combat system in action. Each airplane has an IR gun, a sensor, and lights. When the sensor sees gunfire it dims the lights and pulses the motor indicating a hit. When it is shot down, the lights and motor pulse slowly for several seconds. You can see the gun shoot in the night camera.

This was the first flight I did with the DJI Hd system. I ran the new Cyclops antenna with 2X Minion Pro transmitter antennas. At 3.5 miles out, I flew behind a mountain and didn't have enough battery power to go on further after regaining line of sight. From what I could tell, it should have gone 6-7 miles.

Triumph Pro Overview
Просмотров 4,6 тыс.5 лет назад
This is the new TBS Triumph Pro. This antenna uses a closed loop element system in which each element acts both as a driven element as well as a parasitic reflector. While sit was certainly possible to make the antenna even smaller, it would have come at the cost of performance. Thus, this is the smallest possible form without compromising on performance.

The unknown side of research and development
You did great videos, You must reconsider this as you are a valued community in the long range communication business.
Ever have issues from the ailerons taking all the launch force?
Not yet, but it should be considered.
can you please say that all over again.... I was just watching the dog!
Never just spin a dry hone in a cylinder like that. Use lube and go slow. Create a 45 degree cross hatch pattern. ALWAYS USE A SPRING COMPRESSOR. It is too easy to nick a ring. Also, align the ring gaps as per the service manual. I would not trust this rebuild.
A paper towel 😂 Now do it again with a fully charged lipo.
incorrect and can lead to a dangerous situation. standard plasterboard (drywall) only provides 30 min fire protection and your test involves a fire that is much cooler and less intent than a LiB fire. LiB can reach 1000c
Great idea... i have just got an ebike and was planning on putting the battery in one of those liposafe bags and that inside an ammo tin... I'll be adding drywall to it now as a third layer!
Thanks for the information, very practical and of great value. I have numerous work batteries, and disability scooter batteries much larger than the ones you have. I have been concerned how I can safely charge and transport them without constantly having to worry about them. Now I can review a way to do it safely. All the best.
This was a great informative video.
Some twin pipes would have been nice . Like the ones on a Harley-Davidson . I’ve always wanted to hear a v-twin lawnmower with drag pipes . I think that would sound awesome! Everyone would think it was a Harley-Davidson engine . If it would sound the same . I’m thinking that it would due to the way it’s made ! 🔥 Plup plup Plup Plup Plup Plup It would defiantly be deferent . Of course I love your remote controlled idea great video I’d like to do a self-propelled that way ! But I think the v-twin with drag pipes would even be better all the way around ! Thanks for sharing !
haven't seen a video from you in a few years. are you still developing systems for RC aircraft?
Great 👍
Tried any other planes for a hook up.
muy bien es algo que sirve a mucha gente que quiere componer motores
I have much less complicated bungee system. Just rubber, string and stick in ground: ruclips.net/video/KMYH_jq8Sdo/видео.htmlsi=-PASxwSIpS2B5TSa&t=26
Awesome, I have Pretty flat land here in the north Philippines out to the sea, and in the middle of building a long-range system; I bought an ASW 28 to get into the fixed wing. It seems the flat wing is the most efficient.
This explanation is flawed people, but you'll lap up and praise anything on RUclips. Stop trying to take short cuts, read a text book and learn the right way, that is if you can read.
So what have you produced? Nothing? Oh my what a surprise! An internet troll criticizing a patented inventor. Do the World a favor and go play in traffic.
@@CAGreve1231 I'm not trolling at all, you are spreading misinformation and everyone is praising you for it. It takes for someone like me to keep this type of thing in check, I take my radio very seriously, and I worry about the future of it with so many like you on YT. As far as my own production, I am not interested in doing that, and nor should I have to, it is irrelevant. You need a lesson in manners, and if you were a real man, you'd own up to your mistakes and take it on board so things can progress without polluting people's minds with false theory. You could even thank me. But no, you go for the old troll routine and question what I have done in relation to radio. Mate, I've done a lot, including this.
@@CAGreve1231 and what's a patented inventor got to do with it? I don't know what you've invented, and now frankly, I don't care. I hope it's not radio related. I know of a very popular antenna manufacturer with a prevalent yt channel, and he doesn't know about CMC, and he confused antenna resonance with SWR in his videos. Remarkable.
@@arconeagain - Dude, I am a patented inventor. You're an internet troll. Lot's of people like you. Go play on the train tracks.
@@CAGreve1231 that's a very poor attitude you have. Haha, and how many patents are out there? How many being used, sold, achieved? Now tell me what Voltage Standing Wave Ratio really is without googling it. Tell me what we're really measuring here and why. First of all, what are standing waves.? I tried to point you in the right direction. I'm not a ham by the way, CBer here.
SUPER TEACHING. Love❤ it VV Much Appreciate this, THANKYOU🎉, 73s, 9V1KM | KK7QGL Singapore🎉
I tried numerous time to make the cap, but no luck😥 Being precise as mush as possible doesn't help, as well as changing materials. The antenna won't convert to circular polarized and stays linear. Confirmed with vna and empirical tests with live fpv feed. Can you give any advice? I used foam and neoprene as dielectric and copper wire, paper clips as lobes. One layer of tape only
I am admittedly not sure how you could verify it without a vector voltmeter, but I suspect the neoprene has something to do with the less than ideal results. I would consider cardboard as a potential solution. Alternatively, try shortening the wires by ~1/2mm. You would be surprised how sensitive this is. You also might want to try and see where the element is located within the antenna to make sure the shell is in the right place.
@@CAGreve1231 I use logmag trace on vna and screw in lhcp antenna to one port and whip to another. I aim to make rhcp antenna so losses must be pretty high comparing to linear polarization before placing the cap. It looks to work as I think because when I change the whip to rhcp or another lhcp antenna it shows the results you expect. Regarding the neoprene, I used it after the foam which should be nearly perfectly rf transparent. Thought the dielectric might be the issue but it isn't so. Thank you for your advice!
@@CAGreve1231 When you say the right place, where is that in relation to the element? I checked my linear antennas and if I place the shell where you do, it would be above the element. On your micro switchblade it appears to be around the balun. I recently bought 2 of your Ions for my goggles and will order antennas for the quads soon. I was just playing around with this as it looked fun.
@@Kevin.L_ - Ideally right over center of the element. I had these rubber duckies specialty made for this so they'd just snap on. However, you can just slide it over to where your element is. Admittedly, you don't need to be perfect. So long as part of the element is covered it will work fine.
@@CAGreve1231 Thanks. I'll give that a go. Would there much difference in performance between a Micro Switchblade and a Minion Pro for use on a quad? Numbers are similar.
Your the best
I just used your method yesterday on my new delta wing. It worked great ! Thanks for sharing!!
I can not find these for sale anywhere. Looking for a sender/reciever for the exact reasons you mention. Getting EMI and need something that can cut throught that.
These are long gone. They were a commercial failure
Okay thanks. Is there any alternatives?
i think the pipe is E.M.T.
Correct. EMT (electrical metallic tubing) also know as conduit.
@@CAGreve1231 yes not rigid
Great vid
I've tried on 2 different vanguards and both of the crankcase covers stop after about 2 inches and wont come off. Anyone figure out how to overcome this?
Did you remove the flywheel? Might be getting hung up on that.
There also might be a retaining ring on the shaft (most likely scenario).
@@CAGreve1231 The crankcase cover on my unit is opposite side of the flywheel. And the parts diagram doesn't show any retaining rings. Ive ground off some metal from the crankshaft, maybe there's still some burrs hanging up on the main bearing.
I might suggest full-weight, type X drywall (fire resistant).
That would certainly be better
what about adapters on a Transmitter antenna ? would that loose strenght ?
It doesn't matter whether it is transmitter or receiver. The loss is the same.
@@CAGreve1231 okay! thanks for the reply.
That was a really smart and simple visual demonstration for simplifying these lessons! Well done!
Why doesnt the antenna come manufactured this way I wonder?
Three reasons: 1. Size - This makes the antenna larger 2. Directionality - Most people prefer an omni-directional antenna to a directional one 3. Simplicity - A single element is much simpler than multiple parts
Still using these bro. DJI. Crossfire. Picked up diamond antenna too. Nice work.
This is the best explanation SWR on RUclips. Hands down !
Syma
Worst antenna ive ever used ever ever holly shit did i get ripped of lost my 7 inch believing this 😢
Blaming equipment for lack of skill is quite common in this hobby. The best tools in the World won't help you if you do not know how to use them.
@@CAGreve1231 lol bro so when i do a split s the signal will improve 😂😂😂 iys a pice of Shit
@@CAGreve1231 ive been in the game for over 6 years i own 16 quads and i tested them on a digital system
@@tommcdonald6371 - Like I said: all the tools in the World won't help if you don't know how to use them. If a Split S maneuver improves your signal then you are doing 2 things wrong: 1. This is a RECEIVER antenna, NOT a transmitter antenna 2. You have it mounted incorrectly. It should be vertical like the video shows. This antenna goes 8 miles on 5.8GHz with a Minion Pro on the transmitter without issue. It has been done many times. Use it correctly and you will have far better results.
Thanks man maybe ill try them again sorry for my ignorance
Love it. Good information!
My question alittle off topic, I'm new to 1.3ghz fpv but not 5.8ghz, I'm thinking of using the bluebeam pro on the 1.3ghz vtx and a bluebeam cloverleaf on the receiver whats your thoughts on this? Would it be better to use the pro on tx and rx or maybe cloverleaf on both? Thanks for all your videos and any advice will be great.
Yep totally layman’s
Does video system (analog or digital) make a difference with this system?
Not at all. It works with both
Excellent video....Excellent teacher....THANKS
at 8:06 "There's a fine line between crazy and stupid." Crazy is lighting this thing on fire on a visibly wobbly platform on a 2x6 railing where it could fall either direction. OK, not "crazy", but you probably could have done a bit better than that. This whole cool project is about smart precautions. The fire extinguisher is good, but lighting a fire on a wobbly railing just seems out of place on an "avoid risk" video. Nice project, though. Good stuff.
0:49 WHAT?
What about smoke damage....?
You aren't really going to avoid that. If you seal the box to keep in the smoke you will create a bomb. It has to vent. Your best bet is to air out the house as soon as possible.
Why are yall Europeans soooo damn critical of each other? What is that? I see it all the time. Jealousy? Intimidation? Any non-mechanic can learn something from this video. A complete rebuild from a shop would cost $1000!!! The guy was not trying to do a perfect rebuild of the engine. He was just trying to get it to run. And he did. And it will problaby last for 5 to 10 years. I have a broken rod on a 23HP Vanguard and I learned something here. Some of you really need to think about where you are going to end up on that certain day when they throw your backside in that 7 foot hole in the ground. Just remember this..Nasty peoplee end up in nasty places.
Humanity seems to be nasty when there is no threat of violence. From some reason the threat of potential violence in a face to face interaction causes people to be much friendlier. On the other hand, this mower is still going strong with no hint of issues. Starts first pull most times. I now have an HD video system on it so I can sit in the air conditioning and cut the grass ;)
Are receiving and transmitin antennas the same? Can you stick two same antennas, one on quad and other on goggles? Or you need different types?
They can be the same and frequently they are. Directional antennas are goggles only but the rest can be used as both transmitter and a receiver antenna.
@@CAGreve1231 thanks bro!
Still super useful in 2023 for iNav and Betaflight tuning.
Love the idea! It seems to me it should be tested with a Lipos though. I imagine the fire intensity is a completely different level! Those fire bags do okay with a little battery in them,. but not at all with anything bigger.
Look what I found! ruclips.net/video/s0kzuEpyNyQ/видео.html This also isn't a fully true test, because the was a vest hole in the one port they lit on fire, but it's promising!!!
So we've established VSWR is not exactly the ratio of the power coming out of the antenna compared to the reflected power. For example, an SWR of 2:1 with 100 watts input, with a lossless transmission line, would mean about 11 watts is reflected back. So that's a ratio of 89:11, or for easier comparison, 8.9:1.1 which = about 8.09:1. Anyway, that's hardly 2:1.
I was explaining in layman's terms, not reading from a textbook. Few people understand textbook language, but most understand basic demonstrations.
@@CAGreve1231 but it's not right though, is it? It's a different ratio. What is VSWR, and it's the first thing that comes out of your mouth. Yet all these people are saying, oh, I could never understand SWR and now I do. And, it's the best explanation I've ever seen, and I've had it explained to me by professors. But it's fundamentally wrong, from the outset.
@@CAGreve1231 oh and, I don't think you've read it from a text book. You should give it a try. What's wrong with my definition, the language?
IT IS THE RATIO OF THE GREATEST VOLTAGE AMPLITUDE OF A STANDING WAVE ON A TRANSMISSION LINE TO THE LOWEST AMPLITUDE OF THE STANDING WAVE.
