You are more than welcome here, got a spare bedroom in my house - pack your plane!

If I manage to get to the UK in time before the weather turns, I most definately will try and meet up with you boys. I need to talk fpv shite at least once in my life with somebody who doesnt think I lost my marbles.

Discount code is FPVUKNUTS! Your are more than welcome here. I do recommend kitesurfing as an alternative to FPVing - keeps those pounds off and since you need wind, it complements your FPV flying perfectly.

The recording is steady because of a few factors:

- I only had about 12-15 knots of wind to deal with on a 2.1kg Skywalker and its very constant, thermal wind, so no gusts really.
- I use ABM mode on the FY31-AP
- Gopro records in R3 mode (thats 60 FPS and wide angle). That does a lot to stop any shaking and allows you to slow down the video if needed. Anything in slow motion looks steady although I only slowed down the shot at 00:23 seconds. The new Hobbit movie is shot at 48FPS for a reason, it all looks smoother.

But you can also see how im battling with my crap range on the ezUHF at 00:20 seconds, thats when my failsafe decided to kick in for a second.
