Beautiful birds view in HD

I just got my lightweight HD 808 #16 keychain and place it under my slow HK TRISTANIA @ TECHONE SPIRIT EPP foam plane. Flew FPV above our local area and too beautiful view of the surroundings.  The birds eye view on HD  looks beautiful.  Flying on FPV with HD recording make me appreciate more about the scenic beauty and surrounding where we live.    Life is now always need to be confined on ground level.  Its nice to be like a bird once.

My FPV Foamy Adventure - HK Tristania EPP

FPV bush flight

Here is another advantage flying a slow lightweight EPP foam plane.  Its so slow and so light my HK TRISTANIA @ TECHONE SPIRIT EPP foam plane with FPV system on board can easily navigate and fly narrowly above bushes, between trees, fields and places where r/c helicopter could have been.  Which is why this is one of  my favorite daily fun FPV plane.  Everyday i had a cool jungle adventure when i'm not on my mountain bike.  Still it needs skilled pilots to move around in such thight and low flying condition to avoid stall, crashes and any posibble low flying mishap.  Fourtunately i have tonnes of flight hours and got me some great flying skills, so no problem for this flying ace veteran. lol.  *Touch wood*

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.

Texturing and UV mapping , the wheels finally looks alive!


Ahhh!! check this out. Its done! Fresh from the oven. The rendering, texturing and UV mapping process of texture have completed for the wheel itself. Didn't take that long. Corel and Z-modeler tools always the best choice. It looks awesome! As usual the wheels looks realistic as usual. Handy work hee hee.. Well i guess thats it for today. I'll continue with the body texturing and rendering tomorrow.

New FIREX DS8-XL wheel - phase 2 construct



Ok, its done, fresh mesh with new flange styling for my new concept muscle car wheels. First glance it looks pretty much retro in concept with thick tyres and robust pindle offset but thats how it should blend with the retro looks of the car. I've tried several wheels size, tyre profile size and variable center offset but i decided to choose this spec. This design give a special feeling to retro lover and viewer. It has this muscle thing, hot wheel taste, like looking at Diecast car or toys adored by big boys. Thick drag tyre means business and always a symbol of powerful acceleration and phat factor. It took me 5 hours and extensive brain power to get the wheel right and match the car looks. As planned this wheel model will be called as: "FIREX DS8-XL"
I think thats about it for 3d building task, yay! Finally i can go to next phase: Rendering and texturing. This is my favorite part where this car go *Bling!. But it takes top notch hardware to do that. Yes, its time to pump up the power of Nvidia graphic card. First will render the wheel texturing. Lets go!
