i bought myself a rather spiffing ST models FW190a and thought how cool it would be for an FPV platform.

i then bought myself a load of FPV gear - after reading the recommendation's here :)

Looks good ;)
Yes looks like its game on now :)
Looks good but i think you've got too much nose in the camera view, maybe change the angle slightly so you can see more scenery?

yes, i agree - i have ordered a 600TVL SONY SUPER HAD CCD D-WDR camera and will mount it on top of the canopy as opposed to the in canopy position the current one has.
thanks for the feedback guys
looks good mate I would like to fly it from that perspective, Id be wearing some flying goggles over my video goggles and a flying jacket. lol
perhaps put a video keychain on top if you want a better video view.
regards G :)

lol,
chocks away old bean!!
i have just ordered the fy21ap from simon (what a fantastic experience - damn fine bloke!) and as such will have a spare GPS sensor and my current camera will be surplus to requirements.
sould i sell them or hang on to them? - might keep the camera for spare but do the GPS units ever go wrong?
I would keep them, it wont be long and you will be building a new one. :)
I`d keep hold of them, some do over time, especially ones on Ezosd`s for some reason, but yes well worth keeping hold of
What a nice take on FPV i'm glad to see that you are doing your own thing as in this game there isn't a rule book on what flying platform you use and it down to your imagination as to what you use :D
I would keep hold of ANY spare stuff you have as it will come in handy as stuff seems to break when you least need it too

Personally, I - and as a rank new boy around here, respectfully - disagree!! That gives a proper pilot's eye view; and that's the driver for me to have begun researching FPV. Now what you need is a mate flying a P51 or Spitfire FPV....
Meeeooooooooowwwwwwwwww dakkadakkadakka....!!!!!
Each to their own, but it does look like the camera is looking down onto the nose more that out across it.
