FoxTechFPV 2.4ghz Tx/Rx/FH18C Review

[gwheyduke]

OK it worked on the bench today, then when I put everything on the plane it didn't have any picture! Arrrrg ! Came back to the work bench and hooked it all up again, still no picture, I was pulling out the power plug and I saw a micro-second flash of a picture! Started fiddling with the plug, I had to pull it out about 3mm and everything is fine! Had a wonderful 14 minute FPV flight on the old Electra this evening. FUN ! works good now. Very smooth! Thanks again for all your help!

Thanks for your quick reply ! I know it's a pain and a drag on your time to answer all these questions. We have been enjoying your videos especially the Cargo Condor.

Nice video. What are you using for your long range control transmitter (UHF)? Is it made by dragon link?

[rctestflight]

@HighInTheSkyRC you best bet would be to look in the instructions. Channel 8 might not be the clearest for 5.8 tho.

[rctestflight]

@shoegooguru no, your thinking of the 5.8 version. The version I show here is $70 for 500mW

@Alese3k1996 what prop? there were no props spinning in this video

[rctestflight]

@hallobaaaby i don't think you can control how much you put in it, it just pulls how much it needs

[RosssRoyce]

Thanks for all your nice vids! how many mA of battery power you put into the transmitter so it doesn't fry?? i was wondering, since you don't use OSD/GPS/powercontroller thing how do you dose the battery power going into the Tx?

Very informative video again RcTestFlight. Keep up the great work. This receiver and camera look like a great combo. I am assuming from subscribing to your videos, that you were using your DragonLink when you mentioned the distances you went. I liked that camera because of the price and more importantly to me; that it didn't 'black out' the ground when you flew towards the sun or pointed towards the open sky.
I also liked the Trappy-Style hillside dive you did at the end. Cool. - Partok

Hey I'm thinking about getting this to use on my skywalker with my dx6i(using dragonlink through trainer port).... have you tested the range with a patch antenna yet? Btw your reviews are great and very helpful!

FYI: I buy the usa lawmate transmitters and operate on channel 8. All you have to do is pick the glue off the dip switches. Ive done it to many of them. I trust lawmate over foxtech stuff. especially for long range fpv Although im sure they are comparable, I just have a feeling the lawmate stuff is built better. Great videos by the way. Keep em coming!

Hey there, great video. I was just wondering, what's the delay, between film taken on camera, and film shown on screen?

[rctestflight]

@fordarrick obviously it is the real one because it says it in the title and has links to it from foxtech

[hotblume]

hey im looking for a portable screen to run my FPV equipment on i dont want video goggles do you have any suggestions? btw great video i might get that system for my smaller planes

[sgsawant]

Nice vid...
Wondering if you have used patch antennas on your receiver....

[schraut]

Thanks for the review! I am hoping to get into fpv soon and after seeing your vids I want to do a dragonlink with a 2.4 video setup

[rctestflight]

@gwheyduke try the receiver on channel 8.

[rctestflight]

@burghoorn it wont, 2 frequencies wont work together. If you have 2.4 then your going to need UHF or 72mhz. UHF is the way to go tho.

[rctestflight]

@jokerman116 im not sure, but its more than 62 degrees

[rctestflight]

@PlaneFlyyer i dont know, all I know is it was shipped to me in a box
