This is the new HoryzonHD FPV camera from Foxtechfpv.com. The unit I’ve got is a pre-production unit equipped with a wide angle lens, but I should receive the stock finished product any day now and when it does I can test the camera out for real. But in the meantime here is a mini review/comparison to the GoPro.

I’ve wanted a camera like this for ages. I even tried to modify my own cameras to add a long ribbon cable but it failed. So I gave up on the idea and got a GoPro when it was released instead. But now my dream of getting HD video from a tiny, light weight sensor can finally be realized. Finally a real challenger to the GoPro for HD FPV flying has arrived!

The down sides of the GoPro HD camera is that it is not very aerodynamic. It is also relatively heavy. These two things makes it less than ideal to pan and tilt on a FPV platform. The HorizonHD on the other hand... Read More...

Hello fellow RC enthusiasts!
Now that I got a CNC cutter I can offer glass fiber tricopter frames to all of you that do not want/can cut your own frame or have trouble finding glass fiber sheets. (And get my wife of my back about spending too much money on the CNC...)

The frames are cut from 1.5mm thick black G10 glass fiber and weigh in at 38 grams/frame (1 frame consists of 2 pieces).

Price: 24.00USD shipping included!

The price includes standard(non trackable) worldwide shipping. For an added cost of 7USD (Swedish postage is crazy expensive when you want it trackable) I can ship the package as insured and trackable.

The package contains 2 center frame pieces (one set). The parts can have some cosmetic scratches but I try to keep it to a minimum.

Payment is via Paypal (Swedish customers can make a bank transfer instead, if so, contact me via email). Make sure your shipping address is up to date!

Non trackable $24.00 USD Trackable $31.00 USD

I found this little gem on a swedish electronics ”for sale”- forum. It’s a kit made from MDF wood that another member cut on a huge CNC router. It’s called the ”lillasyster”. This one has never been used as it’s not completely finished. Instead it’s been sitting down in a cellar for a couple of years. I couldn’t resist picking it up as I got a really good price on it.

Time to build a quad copter! I spotted this 500X kit in a local hobby shop and decided to try it out.

Sorry for the delay guys. I just out of the blue got a job and the video had to be put on hold. I should however have it ready this weekend or the beginning of next week. In the mean while, here is another sneak peek pic:

Here is a quick sneek peak of the next video coming out.

Stay tuned!

Last time I was in the US I convinced Chad to take me to the Niagara falls. It was a 5 hour drive from the Flitetest base, which I didn’t think was too bad. Chads wife Julee and son Christian accompanied us when we set out at around 9am. We made pretty good time and arrived at the falls at around 3.30pm. Jumping out of the car I was hit by the most chilling wind I have ever felt. It cut like a knife through clothes and chilled you instantly. And on top of that, it was super strong. Never the less, I was determined to fly... Read More...

It’s ready!
