Trying to reach the peak before the last of the sunset light is gone. This was recorded back in April of this year. Although I've been doing a lot of long range flying this summer, a new work schedule has left me with limited time for getting video edits done and posted to YouTube.

For both Express LRS & Crossfire this second antenna is most often mounted vertically at the back of the drone, beside the video antenna. It will help to improve the quality of the communication link between transmitter and receiver as well as minimize the chances of a failsafe (total loss of control). We're going to make a 915/868mhz dipole antenna from scratch.

A crash at that speed would smash my FPV drone to pieces. But the mountain was perfect for it with its tall shear cliff and incredible ridge lines, so I had to give it a try. I did the first four flights with my analog RAD Li-ion build using 18650 li-ion batteries. After getting used to the flight lines and making sure I would always have line of sight to the drone I switched to my Falcon RPM build with 3000mAh lipos and the DJI 03 air unit for the improved video clarity and maneuverability.

My video freezes flying down a gully, I get sprayed by a waterfall and I push myself to get in as close as I can to the wind lip at the peak. Even with almost 1kg of li-ion cells strapped to the drone, a strong wind leaves me wondering if 3.2v per cell will actually get me back home.

Do or Die Long Range FPVFalconRad FPV2023-04-22 | This was the most intense long range FPV flight of my life. My mind was set on flying through an ice arch just a few feet from a glacier. The fact that it seemed really sketchy and difficult didn't put me off, but maybe it should have. AND that's only half the story! Join me for this once in a lifetime FPV flight as we freak out, laugh and almost cry. All caught on camera by the commentary I recorded during the flight. Also includes DVR.

Over 5km away lies a glacier with deep cracks and channels. I have found a route that takes my FPV drone deep into the glacial ice to capture video footage that would be far too dangerous to attempt in person. And that's only half of it, the flight out to the glacier and back is full of incredible footage that only an FPV drone could capture.
I used a RAD Li-ion build for this flight.

I love the challenge of getting in as close as I can with my FPV drone and GoPro. This spot is sketchy though. Hitting a tree here would almost certainly result in a crash leaving the drone and GoPro to be smashed to pieces and lost forever in the turbulent waters that pound against the rock on the way down the steep mountainside.

If you're looking for a long range build with big flight times and a range of up to 32 kilometers, the RAD Scout has you covered. The RAD Scout's side braces give the 6mm thick foam core carbon fiber arms the extra stiffness required to capture nice GoPro footage. For those of you interested more in flight time than GoPro footage, the RAD Scout can be flown without the side braces reducing the frame weight by another 20g to just 115g! Without the braces the simple arm design of the RAD Scout further minimizes air vortices and drag resulting in even longer flight times. More complex arm designs can increase drag in forward flight and create vortices of turbulent air as the thrust columb collides with lots of edges, corners and cutouts resulting in shorter flight times. This video has several flight examples providing proven results of realistic achievable flight times. All flight examples use the full 135g frame WITH side braces. Although there are TPU parts to accommodate using an 03 air unit I recommend using either an analog setup or a caddx vista with the RAD Scout. The 03 mounting options are better suited to the stiffer RAD Li-ion frame. Video Chapters below.

With any wind or water creating background noise a beeper or buzzer will often go unheard unless very close by. That's where the Marco Polo Tracker clearly takes the win for drone recovery.
