My FPV Foamy Adventure - HK Tristania EPP

Slow FPV #3. FPV flying in safer way.

Been doing lots of thinking lately about the risk of flying a huge 1.2m over wing span over crowded places below especially when i'm on FPV (First Person View) flight mode which i know its not a good idea for adventure flight for long term.  The weight itself is a major concern since it can be alike brick falling from the sky above if it happens.  So i've made some research, studies and found a solution which can lead to safer and fun way to do some FPV adventure without huge risk of public damage property if my plane crashed or anything happen in the future.  
The solution:  Its a flexy 3D EPP foam 800mm winged sub 290gram super light weight profile plane (HK TRISTANIA EPP 3D @ TECHONE SPIRIT) equipped with lightweight nano FPV hardware that reduce any public damage if crash and safe enough to fly around public places and its very slow.  Check out my photos.  Its flexy, soft, soo lightweight, thin, slow, economical, easy maintenance, looks friendly, funny and have enough performance to fly anywhere, unlimited heights and required less space to land or you can grab it in the air.  Crash test shown it doesn't even cause serious damage to public property, animal or any living thing including people around it.    I've did lots of maiden flight with this EPP profile plane, it fun, entertaining 3D plane both to the pilot and the public and capable to fly low and slips though narrow places and places where normal planes though to be impossible and easily grab my hands on it while in the air.  Since i'm an adventurous mountain biker i took advantage to fly FPV with this and manage to discover new forest trails, terrains and discover cool places before i decided to jump on my mountain bike.  This is forever my favorite FPV plane.  Awesome and i'm glad to make this hobby a safer and adventurous activity.  More video coming soon on this EPP FPV flight.

Go higher into the blue sky ...adventure adventure begins!

Years into R/C finally i'm getting closer to realised my dream flying into deep blue sky but i need to appproach slowly step by step as precaution not to make future mistake of possible crashing a 450 size heli.  3 week ago got me 2 sets of heli  plus some hardware necessity after withdraw from my Adsense Ads profit and make use of investment into flying because i'm strongly going into FPV flight (First Person View). I felt confident i could handle a bigger size heli after flown a ESKY BELT CP, ALIGN TREX 100 and hours of Phoenix Simulator. Took me 3 weeks of kit assembly work and a week of post flying preparation before taking off into the air.  The science and tech behind flying this machine are like 7 wonders of the world unlike comparison to ground based r/c models.   Flying models have more versatile usability ranging from fun flying to FPV (First Person View) useful for aerial observation, exploration, high altitude photography and other thing that we can't do on the ground which is why i'm heading to the sky. My heli a HK 450 GT belt driven already equipped with KDS Flymentor stabilization system hopefully could carry some usefull payload such as camera and FPV equipment for remote flying cam "Unmanned Flying" may land me a good opportunity as a civilian search and rescue heli and aerial photography as return investment on day.  As for now i just practise some basic manouvers and enjoy as part being able to pilot a manly machine.  Thankfully we got lots of friendly local flier to help me out with some flying stuff...very happy. Will report more status in a few days about flying soon.   I guess by now you guys should know where i've been since i'm not always at my website http://www.supermotoxl.com/ ,  Gone out flying babe!!

Unhealhty week for everyone

Cold rainy weather have been running rampage for several months. At this time of the year it should have been warm summer and bright blue sky. I'm not sure if human did play major role on global warming or is it part of mother natural doing once in a decade phenomenon or probably changes in sun activity that made the global weather unstable...solar flare thing or neutrino particle. The consequences made us all i'll as abrupt weather changes, i seldom had any terrible flu for year and now i got one last few weeks after exposed to drzzle rains because doing necessary task outdoors. The flu ruin my day for a week just after Chinese New Year festival so it was very bad day being bed ridden for another 5 days with my onlined lappy to keep me occupied. If i have the chances to trade my sickness with other i would rather have my butt injury that a running snotty nose. Fortunately i'm not the only one had it it seems that everyone had it on the same day everywhere since it cold season. I guess this stuff is seasonal. With the advance medical nano technology and freak science discovery, i hope they could banish this lame annoying diseases especially flu and fever to a level of extinction. I missed my beautiful day on 2 wheels.

My white road stallion

A month later i fell in love on my new found friend, she's fast and very elegant looking. Been riding mountain bike for 15 years now, its time to shift the pace to step my other foot fully on-road to utilized the advantage of speed and higer pedalling candence. So its time to get the ultimate road rage machine. Yes few weeks ago this white stallion took my heart away. A road bike with intermediate level groupsets, carbon fork and some "just enough" performance parts gave me wings on the road. I got totally hooked with this bike on its first day of flight pushing me extra 40% speed advantage over mountain bike plus its easy on the pedal too. The shifting and braking was a bit very awkward for me since my hand kinda twisty over the goatee handle bar since the finger muscle already adapt much for mountain bikes, so i have to get use to the pain reaching the foward vertical position brake lever and shifter. My mountain biking apparel also isn't suitable and ergonomics enough for road biking since all those compact posture and sitting position risk getting blister and drag so i have to dig in robin hood men in tights which is so un-MX like. 4 weeks later i've become the fastest man on the road. Constant 32km/h, 47km/h on sprinting, 65km/h on drafting and top speed at 95km/h when chasing behind huge drafter. Now i got two mad machines. I love it!

Like any Saturday

My mind clogged with too many thing to do this Saturday and Sunday, gladly all the thing i wanna do is really interest me and get me excited. Others like outing with family and friends i also plan along to spent my weekends out doors fully before working days start. I'm not planing to spent too long on computer doing 3d models and design, my eyes kinda sore after stick too long under low lit LCD. My Saturday was great, driving along the road cruising under sunny blue sky. Life isn't that bad since my rules of living quite simple. "Ignore critism and just follow my own way"...which is why my life isn't that boring or typical nerd type infront of computer even my actual career says that. I suppose to take screen shots of Starbuck TrackMania demo videos into public gallery at my website...oh well its Saturday... i take my time to cool off and enjoy my day. Biking, PSP, RC, dinner party and etc on my list.

ooooo...Its Sunday

Ahh...Sunday is my special day. Morning always been the best for me as i'm ready to fill my stomach with vast amount of high calories of food for extreme outdoor activity workout in the afternoon...yup mountain biking. In the city it looks really hot and sunny in the early morning but by 11am it started to get gloomy and huge down pour in just a second like huge tsunami without warning. I was expecting to be extreme wet when we reach the Bakam jungle trails but surprisingly the black cloud prefer to storm directly over the city. Hmmm.. must be urban polution factor. I rode with our fellow biker from 3.00pm till 5.00pm much faster than usual because we're doing it at racing pace to clock out time trial speed. Its was all extreme climbing, speed and death defying ride but those thrill enough to give me a big smile and huge laugh when i get back home.

Rain rain

Rain rain rain, its cold and damp for more than a week, our outdoor activity was hindered by bad weather. Sometimes at deparate moment we have to go out since we have been confined at home for days passively. Mountain biking and r/c activity all roaming in our heads. Thanks goodness we never felt sick after playing under wet weather even we played without covering our body for hours. Looks like i'm very well immune..hehehehe...

Day 7, oh yeah! no computer for next few weeks.

Ok so i broke my ultimate pricey work station computer (my source of partime income station), all i have is my sister's computer to access the internet.... But thank god i manage to complete all my 3d models and design published into the internet/ my websites before it went kaapooofff!!. It would take some $$$ to fix it but well i think it was fated to be that way or must be a hidden message sent by unknown Force that wanted to say " go out and discover the world!!". And so since last week i started to go out adventuring myself on my Mountain bike, into the urban jungle and real jungle, Radio control activity, phtoto shooting, play with my PSP and hanging out with my buddies for a good drinks and stuff. Yeah last weeks lots of worthy activity. It makes PC days looks evil now but i guess the so called "The Force" was saving me away from computer for holiday break. I hope it can help me to recover some loss so i can get back to my PC for another 3d design and model projetc when i really on it. Peace.

Mini r/c forumer gathering

Its kinda late but atleast we got there sufficient enough time to bash around on our R/C cars from various type and sizes at our local city public park. Lucky me that evening for the first time i saw my r/c made twice perfect back flip stunts. I really live this activity

Chocolate! chocolate!

Yup its true, i'm one of the. Everyday in the office its all chocolate. Body slim down but weight still maintain. Keeps me alert and active because it has lots of calories and fuel me ready for evening intense outdoor activity. Sometime generous aunties in the office offer me nice chocolate during lunchtime. Today got me free chocolate and ais-cream which she treat all our office colleague with sweet treats. Man i'm full.

Been eating chocolate and hasn't gave any bad effedom infected by bad diet problem or old man weight disease. Thanks god really enjoy the fullness of chocolate.

Hello cute W200i

In the past i like to use expensive bulk symbian hanphone. But i learn one painful lesson, big and expensive with full automated feature are useless because it a phone and to bulk to carry around. This year i keep everthing simple and small in the pocket and yet very cute. I trade my old Nokia Symbian S60 phone to new SONY ERRICSON WALKMAN phone W200i...i did careful servur, internet review and research before i purchase this phone..overall this is definately a fun phone. At cheap price it comes with standard WALKMAN with FM radio, camera plus all sufficient goodies to keep me well prepared for communication and entertainment purpose. Its small size also means very friendly and less hassle to carry especially me being outdoor like biking and jungle adventure without having my pocket bulged and shake around like camel hump back. After all the review for this phone is so positive almost everyone like it very much. Cheap and usefull!

Oh yes! my spare parts have arrived.

Despite having gloomy day without having fun on my broken desktop PC but instead my happy cloud came back to me again in different genre. I've just ordered some MINI-Z parts few days ago and today it reach to my hand in a flash by parcel delivery service, Oh yes! my mini-z is alive again with new parts and upgrade. Previously my mini-z 1/28 scale R/C broken on critical parts which involve broken suspension tower on both side, cracked steering knuckle, broken rear suspension and cracked top electronic pcb cover and worn out 10T aluminum pinion gears. Now all these news parts mostly from carbon fibre and aluminum parts hopefully could make my mini-z more durable and last longer than expected. The most important thing is to keep hours of fun outdoor. You know being shelled indoors really boring. Well i'm going to fix my mini's. Yeaahhh!!
