You may NOT fly FPV !!
What is a "FPV"  |
Mike is correct First person view. You fly it with either a set of goggles on or a flat video screen to look at as if you were sitting in the pilots seat.
It is a truly different sensation and the first time with goggles on is best done seated in a chair. You have trouble falling over in a chair. I does take a bit for your mind to understand what is happening.
Flying FPV still does not legally allow you to fly out of line of sight and with changes to the regulations being touted I think it will get to a point where to fly FPV you will have to have a spotter with you while flying.
It is funny how easy it is to loose the quad when you take the goggles off even though you are sure you know where it is in the sky.
