RoboBiggles - Scale FPV Highlights 2018

Follow
RoboBiggles

2018 became a watershed year for the RoboBiggles adventure, when a Channel 4 producer rang to offer the role of Series Technical Advisor for a 3 part TV miniseries called "Battle of Britain Model Squadron". It gave the chance to design and make the FPV cockpits, fly the models before filming and trial the air to air laser tag gun system. It also meant I could select and coordinate the FPV team brilliant guys who helped with the building, test flying and FPV delivery onset. Best of all I met some great friends, British & German, with whom I still fly at Squadron reunions. The early footage is the flying I was doing before working on the series. Later shots include footage of the laser combat tests in Essex technology that was then used in filming, and from the first cast reunion flyin which we arranged to coincide with airing of the series so we could watch it together! I have dubbed real engine sounds onto the clips, and added a few sound & visual effects my PZ Spit can't really fire 20mm cannons!

In the laser combat clips I am flying the Hurricane, the 109 is flown by my good buddy Matt Halton. The He111 clips are flown LOS by Christian Abeln with me on the FPV goggles on a joy ride.
