Experimental Airlines - Medium Range UAV - Silent Star V1 - Medium Range FPV Plane (Build Process)

In this picture-by-picture video, I showed how I made my very first Flight Controller equipped Long Range Aircraft. I flew it on the day it was finished and the Kopilot works flawless.

I test flew the plane with the stock Taranis Q X7 Antenna and managed to get close to 2km distance. RSSI dropped to 10-15dB and it eventually failsaved.

My next step is to get the external XJT bound to the receiver and fly it out with the FrSky 7dB Patch.


*UPDATE 2/7/2022*

I've managed over the past 2 years to fly over 4km with the X8R Receivers with the 7dB Patch on the Transmitter (On different planes). This was at best! The normal range is about 2.5km's. Sometimes over 3.5km's when I'm aiming the 7dB antenna at the plane almost perfectly.

The Silent Star V2 and V3 (NG/J) (Next Generation/Temporary Testing Platform) are the successors and are still air worthy; waiting for 1.5h to charge all batteries and off they go!
