I havn't been very clear on my goals:
-3-5 mile FPV would be preferable
-Can carry Gopro
-can be viewed through goggles and screen(start with just one)
-Has OSD with GPS and RTH functions
-Costs preferably under $1000
-Has LED lighting
Crazy goals:
-has IR camera for night flying
-can go 10 miles
I have been planning for a while. I have a plan, I just want to clarify stuff before I get in to deep. I am currently setting up a 501c non-profit so funds will come through events. Thanks for all the help. Here is my final plan, tell me if you see anything wrong with it.
I will use the Bixler. using a 30 amp ESC and a 6x4 prop. FPV will be recorded with a camera and sent back via a 500mw 5.8ghz TX. integrated into that will be a nova OSD. Separate will be a GoPro recording below at the ground at an angle. At the ground station will be a 9x with either a Frsky unit with 1 watt booster and patch antenna
or:http://fpvhobby.com/127-433-mhz-long-range-rc-system.html. a 433mhz system for long range. That would run with a 2.4ghz 500mhz tranmitter(I think this is the better option
The first one is proven, the next one I don't have much on. If anyone has any experience with 433mhz and this system exactly, is is worth the money?
Thank you guys for all your help, you are really helping.
