Thanks for the comments. It was so much fun and I can't wait for the summer so that I can explore these mountains more  ;D

I recently purchased a cheap car just so that I can get out of the city for FPV... was worth it  :D

Yeah not so easy for you to do a day trip  :P Ferry trip could be fun if you FPV from it while its moving  ;D

These mountains take me less than 30 mins to reach from my city centre apartment so I'm looking forward to making good use of them this summer!

Yeah that would be the rest of the day gone  :laugh: I trust my control link, my Dragonlink RSSI is high all the time... I just worry about the 5.8 video sometimes, I don't like the thought of engaging RTH when i'm diving down the side of a mountain  :o

Thanks for the feedback. My favorite response is to hear that someone enjoyed it to the point where it has inspired them to do it themselves  :D

Liked that one Adam, and gave you a thumbs up.....When are you going to fit a 1.2G VTX so you can stretch its legs properly?...:)

The live recording looked particularly good given the light levels.

Thanks for that. I've been trying to resist moving it to 1.2 as I wanted a plane I could take out without a groundstation. Quick pick up and fly with zero assembly.

My new aircraft (Skyhunter) is going to be designed for this type of flying... but using 1.2 with the crosshair and tracker  :rocks:
