Congratulations @deano. Thats a nice and tidy bit of FPV work there   So how did it feel for you? 

[deano]

Not to bad. Flying into the sun was hard.I had to sit down I kept loosing my balance. Lol.Can';t wait to get out again. I need to find an open field so I can fly in all Directions.

Whats the other side of the trees.

You have loads of space there! do some figure 8';s and stuff keep it tight it the best way.....
just keep increasing the length down the ally of trees. Get banking turnes done.

If you do find lots of space don';t let it run away with you! Keep that spotter busy!

 That was your first try at FPV   Very good for a first try, you';re showing good spacial awareness through the goggles to get under those trees first time out

[deano]

Length ways its fine about 1.7km but width is only 35-45M

One side is woods the other is farmers fields.

Thanks too many years playing computer games.

Thanks too many years playing computer games.

It definitely helps.

And to think my parents always said i was wasting my time in front of that thing!

Nice one and thats it started. Come on XH558 get it going.I really only started trying two weeks ago after getting my new Doms with the video recorder on, thought " you';ve spent all this money, get on with it ". I';ve since started making aerials and flying over the Golf Course facing my new house. I';m now flying through the trees and actually going to a height above the Multi storey flats a bit away, fantastic. I';m having some vibration problems, but still thouroghly enjoying it all. It is a bit daunting at first, but start close and a little as you';ve seen, and before you know Chris ( Teslahead ) will be mailing you for tips.
Well done and loooking forward to more videos.

Nice, also very good to see that you';re sticking to the rules     

[deano]

To be honest I only used the 10mw because it was easier to wire up

Well I hoping that my first FPV flight will go even half as well as yours went (though I doubt this camera will ever arrive)
