Hey y'all,
Some of y'all might remember me, I used to be active on the forums and flew a lot probably 1.5-3 years ago but have since stopped flying and sold lots of my stuff due to life. Well, I graduated high school a couple of days ago and have one last summer to fly some. I realized right after I sold lot's of my stuff that I particularly enjoyed one specific type of flying and that was FPV. So long story short, I will soon be posting in for sale and trade looking to find some gear. But I first have some questions since this honestly is not my field of expertise and I have been out of the hobby for a decent while.
I want to build a setup that has a few primary goals:
-Long distance flying (I'm thinking a reliable 1-2 mile range would be awesome)
-Long-ish flight times (ideally 20-30 min would be great)
-Decent performance (no gliders)
And secondary goals:
-System that can record camera feed
-Telemetry module/Heads up display (airspeed, altitude, the basics)
-Relatively small and light setup.
Right before I left the hobby I had a Strix Nano Goblin that had FPV gear in it and that thing was FUNNN. I'd love to build or buy something like that again-I loved how you could just cruise for a long time but also had some decent performance so could shoot trees and such. I also loved the small form factor (super light and could even hike with it) and flight times due to the Li-ons used. I guess my biggest question is this: What is some gear that in your opinion would match this setup? I still have my Dx6e as a transmitter so would likely use that (and would probably need a longer distance antenna?), so mainly what aircraft might be a good idea, what goggles and flight computer, and what antennas and such would I need to use to make this setup long distance capable? Thanks in advance!
