Just something nice to watch

I hope you can appreciate the skills that went into making that.

FPV is coming of age, so expect to see some really good stuff soon.

Cheers

As one who build models (mainly motorbikes) I can definitely appreciate the work that has gone into building that.

It might be a dumb question but what does FPV stand for?

Good question Ric; LOL, I had to find out myself (like IT terms, you just use them!).

The technology is out there now to live stream the images and control across the internet, so in theory, a reliable system can have a pilot in say an office in the Sydney, flying a plane around Darwin perhaps...over the net and for under a few grand.

Good flight and a perfect landing.
Early morning flight as to have the lake that calm.
Cheers Kev.

Wow I loved the use of the chase plane! At times it almost looked as if it were the real thing. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent vid. Would be better if the planes were sans engine though

I like that they went to the trouble of pan/tilt mounting a cam in the cockpit. What a great idea!! The use of a cam chase plane was very good too.
