:D I took my easy out this afternoon for my second fpv session using a 14inch tv in the boot of my car, it worked a treat this lunch time so decided to go out again.
I took my friends googles with me and had a first flight using the tv during a break from the flying i tried these googles out and they actually worked fine with no rolling of the picture so i left them run for ten minutes they were fine, so i thought lets go for it.
Just before i launched my plane i thought wait , i will put the leads ready for the tv next too the vrx just for a back up, oh i am so pleased i did. ;D
About ten mins into my flight the googles blanked on me, but i had got a bit carried away and when i ripped them off me the plane was out of sight, i was in the middle of a turn so kept it on for a few more seconds then opened her up a bit and changed the leads over double quick when the pic came on i was still about 6 to 7 hundred yards away but coming back my way. :D sigh of relief too.
i expect most of you guys have had something like this happen but this was my third fpv flight ;D
lessons learned by yours truely Dizzy
I'm amazed you managed to get 6-7 hundred yards away, on your 3rd flight!
I have done 6/7 flights and something normally goes wrong after 1-2 hundred feet :P
Boy you got lucky there didnt you lol. Good to see it worked out for you. Bit of a brown trouser moment lol
