Electric paramotor first flight Jackal_21 2023-08-20 | This is my first paramotor flight. Details and credits at the end of the video.I was very easy on the throttle, using less than half power even on take off. And I had some lateral oscillations.. I was drifted towards the high grass field so wanted to go around thus arming the throttle again and blip it by mistake after landing. All in all a nice flight, smooth and slow.Project details at: OpenPPG/Community/Builds/EPPG project-2.8kw battery.community.openppg.com/t/eppg-project-2-8kw-battery/4922/23

Taranis X9D Plus and X8R signal loss Jackal_21 2019-06-25 | Hi, I'm heaving problems with my Taranis X9D Plus EU and X8R EU rxs. In one out of 1 to 5 times, the first seconds of range mode, no mather if I'm at 3m or 40m, I see the RSSI dropping at zero and get the telemetry lost alert. If it doesn't happen in the first seconds, then the link will stay normal and at 100m RSSI is 50. - The link it's restored by: getting closer to the plane at 2-6m, or restart the Tx or restart the Rx or exiting range mode.- I thought it's something about range mode program, but one time the plane was at a few meters in flight and I heard telemetry lost. I didn't see anything wrong at the plane because the second rx was working, and probably the link was restored rapidly to the first rx also (the one with telemetry).What I've noticed is that when entering range mode and the RSSI is high like 91 then almost certainly will drop to zero. If it starts normaly at let's say 77 it will hold the connection. And this happens with all 4 of my X8RsI have the Orange module on the back and I get 30m in range mode with orange rxs.I can't tell what it is, any advice is wellcome, since I'm the ony one around with RC and no one to ask.

RC Airplane Sky Fun flight display Jackal_21 2011-04-09 | Sky Fun, the radio controlled airplane from Skyartec offers high speed flying, great flying characteristics and manoeuvrability during flight display. It is the fastest plane I have. Since first flights I've mounted a more powerful engine than stock but kept the 3S voltage.Later I've mounted servoless retractable landing gear but made the plane about 200g heavier and I didn't like that. Now I've made a bungee system and a ramp and takes off like an F-18 from an aircraft carrier. :)Video of the retractable LG on my Sky Fun youtube.com/watch?v=GObF5rv4QSE

RC airplane Robbe Cardinal flight from snow Jackal_21 2009-03-17 | This was my first RC airplane, bought from my first salary, after many years of dreaming to fly a radio controlled airplane. Took it out and flew it all by myself after reading and training with my keyboard on the old FMS. The plane flew great, very stable, and I've made and mounted skis on it to have fun during the winter too, and boy I sure did... After several problems with stock brusshed Power 600 motors, I've mounted a brushless on it and replace the heavy NiCd 7-8 cells pack with a LiPo 2200 3S. It was great!It was also my first plane to have a camera on it, and made many nice videos, untill I wanted to shot the village from high above..a little to high and my plane, was gone..But it was a lesson... not so expensive on the material side as it was on the spiritual one.After that I've gathered together a few frends and search the woods but nothing...I don't know if someone found it, or it's still in the woods..but after 7 years I still think of it sometimes. I would sure like to have my first plane besides the others...
