Nice flying.

What camera are you using for the video?

From today: https://youtu.be/IIcM63V2ukg
I spent about 10x the time searching for it after I crashed (three times!) than I did actually flying. I need to fix my beeper switch.

I've been lurking in the shadows for quite some time, but I thought that I'd share my first effort that I made a few months ago. Not the most exciting, but things can only get better from here!

It really is!
Broken nose is still a little sore, I'm regretting teaching my 18 month old son the beep-beep nose trick.

Flew round some old ruins today which I might make a video of later, was quite nervous so the flying wasn't the best.

Ouch, post up the video if you can, I love the twisting and turning loops. I bet it's great in FPV.

Just for you, I added some footage of more twisting and turning loops from yesterday at the start wink

About the FPV - I had a strange thought when I was planning to fly the ruin - I was deliberating on where to stand and my main concern was that I wanted to leave my body somewhere safe as I wouldn't be able to keep an eye on it... A very out of body experience.

BTW Something that I suggest trying - playing with the sunset! Having the ability to make the Sun rise and set at the flick of a throttle is good fun.

I assume you have to have someone not wearing FPV goggles to watch it line of sight?

Per the rules:

Generally I try to be sensible, I've found out the hard way that you can't see that well through the goggles.

Speaking of learning the hard way, here are all the filmed crashes of my first month flying!

You have done well not to show the observer in any of the vids. Especially as he must be adjacent to you and we see you.
