ברוכים הבאים לישראל.

אני מטיס לפעמים גם בכפר ביאליק אבל בעיקר בשומרת בשבתות בבוקר.
שומרת זהו מקום מסודר (האנשים לפעמים קצת פחות) ועיקר הפעילות שם בימי שישי אחה"ץ או שבת כל היום.

באיזה שעה זה צולם ? לפי האורות מסביב המצלמה רגישה מאוד ונותנת תמונה מעולה...

Hi,

If I identify correctly, this is HOF KIRYAT-HAIM, and not HOF SHEMEN. Am I correct?
If this is the case, note that you are flying extremely close to the runway of the Haifa airport (~1KM away), in the middle of the "approaching paths" (map (http://info.mot.gov.il/PDF/PAMAT/LLHA/Haifa_Z.pdf)).
Although the airport is inactive in the next few weeks, this might get you into trouble with the local authorities...

Almost forgot - Welcome!

[fmkit]

Hi Zigi,
I studied the map you've linked - the airport is there! I'm surprised it didn't appear on my videos I recorded that day. BTW, there were two Police cars with running blue strobes - our car was parked 40meters apart but policemen said nothing about 48" wing flying overhead. I have 0.5w 2.4ghz downlink and flew the the plane over industrial zone just for couple minutes , this colorful place just meant for FPV with HD camcorfer onboard
sure it will beat this (much talked about) video: http://www.vimeo.com/4108401

[ZigiStar]

I knew I was right :)
In addition, I should let you know that the airport area is also a military base. Posting photos/videos of that area is strictly illegal. The airport security is very alert - a few months back I was riding my bicycle and stopped for a short break by the fence, "minding my own business" (well, I was actually looking at the nice planes parked there :) ). Within 2 minutes, a car of the airport security arrived and the ranger asked me about my identity. Anyway, she was nice but kindly asked me to leave, so I don't recommend "playing" with them.
The airport will be re-opened on 1/7/09, and you won't be able to miss the traffic.
We will be happy if you joined us flying in KFAR BIALIK, which is very close (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=112822425521864822319.0004669678ac566edb325) (use the terrain/satellite buttons for a better view).

See you!

ZigiStar, we're neighbours

lets make each other spotter the next time

[MickeyM]

היי פיטר, תמונות של חוות המיכלים הן בהחלט מיותרות, תסיר אותן בבקשה

[fmkit]

hi Mickey,
only text can be edited
tried IE and Opera browsers
no option to delete or replace photos

?what kind of pictures acceptable then

I think corn and sunflower fields are boring to death :) .

Sorry, I have no FPV equipment. However, I'll be happy to help if you need a spotter...

Generally, you shouldn't post photos/videos of "sensible" installations.
One way to check what's allowed, is to go to an approved database (e.g., Walla! maps (http://maps.walla.co.il/)) and see whether that installation appears in their photographs (by switching to "areal photo" view).
In any case, if you're not sure, simply don't post those shots...

[fmkit]

I had a long flight then to my surprise the plane landed without SD card, it just flew away :(
I put another card but it was too dark

Hilarius, did Thomas loose his pants during flight ?

[fmkit]

toda

:)

yesterday I tried stand-alone microphone amplifier with built-in RC link quality meter, whenever PPM frames not validated for 1/4 second or longer there are beeps heard via audio channel, also same chip watches throttle channel, if its 20% or higher then audio muted some 15db - this way you can still hear the motor. here is video, note broken link detected at 1:02 and 4:01

מה זה האקדח שאתה מחזיק ביד ?

[fmkit]

מה זה האקדח שאתה מחזיק ביד ?

here we go, see attached pics

i need to learn how to use regular controller ;)

[igalr]

איך כל הסיפור הזה עובד בכלל ?!?!?

[fmkit]

ask MDreamer,using the pistol grip controller he flew my plane right away - without any training
I used to have RC cars before I got into planes

[fmkit]

today tried 360 degree pan - I guess it was stupid idea,gotta slow down the servo somehow :)

פיטר באיזו מצלמה ובאיזה משדר אתה משתמש ???

היוזמה מעניינת, אבל התמונה הזו מפלילה אותך בעבירה על תקנות התעופה - זו עבירה פלילית.

לידיעתך!!!

[fmkit]

the plane never flew above houses, it flew above nearby corn field
watch videos posted in this tread
this group of buildings surrounded by fields
and it wasn't even 60m high so no harm to anyone
check out Google Earth - they accepted the picture and it's in public domain through their system
Where can I see your AP/AV works or you're here to criticise others ?

[assafwei]

למה לא לקבל ביקורת בהבנה?
בסך הכל אמרו לך שהטסה מעל מבנים לא רק שאסורה לפי חוק, היא גם מסוכנת מאוד.
בתמונה נראה שהקרבה לבנייני מגורים מסוכנת מאוד.

[fmkit]

yes, it looks like :)
but the picture is zoomed,cropped and photoshopped
!
I think I did good work making you to believe what you see.
This is not $10 ebay CMOS camera , most of megapixels were cropped out
now tell me you don't want brand name,true CCD,zoom lens,60g fully controlled camera onboard your RC aircraft

@
Boogle
here is the same shot(compare shadows ,is it legal now
?

[Boogle]

NO

אין לי כח להתווכח איתך וגם לא תוכנית להתדיין, אני את שלי אמרתי.

לעניות דעתי, אין מצב שאתה נמצא 250 מטר מהבניין הקיצוני (אלא אם כן סיפרו לך שה"כלי" שלך הוא חצי מטר :D)
הכנס לאתר של קלוב התעופה וקרא את התקנות, לפחות תבין במה אתה עלול להסתבך.

גוגל ארץ לא ממש אכפת להם אם תעיף את הטיסן דרך החלון של הבית אותם מעניין דבר אחד :זכויות יוצרים על התמונה, מעבר לכך מצידם תעלה תמונה של פרופ חותך פנים של ילד קטן...

אני מקווה שאת הנקודה הבהרתי, אני גם שמח שאתה מעלה תמונות איכותיות כל הנושא זה כמו פורנו, לא חוקי אבל מהנה.;)

[fmkit]

I get it!
Itzek please delete compromising pics/posts
