HobbyKing turbine -- I bet that's got your attention!
This edition of the "not so weekly - weekly news" was filmed in my living-room, because it's mid-winter - which means both my workshop and my office are freezing cold.
In the review queue - an RC model plane that isn't an RC plane at all (at least not according to NZ's equivalent of the FAA).
An ultra micro FPV camera from SecurityCamera2000 will be going on my RadJet 420 and, when it arrives, my Walkera Ladybird quadcopter. Here's a link to a video that shows someone FPVing the Walkera Ladybird already (incredible!):
Camera link:
The VDM5 2-way and 1-way compatible parkflier receiver from FrSky arrives and will be going in the RadJet 420
A three-axis gyro stabilization board from HiModel.com that I'll be comparing to the FY30A
And a set of lovely royal-blue anodized turbine mounting brackets from HobbyKing -- maybe that's a clue as to what's inside that other box which arrived just yesterday.
Build video for the FPV backpack will be up soon -- I promise!
Hmm... I wonder what's in that box...
