So I've been told people who get fpv equipment sent to them are getting their name and address recorded so that they can keep an eye on us and so that they've got people to turn to if something happens. :o ,

didn't want to make this post too long, didn't want to scare you all any more than I already have! :D .

Lol, who on earth told you that one

Not more flying club trollop is this?

My friend was told by people at his club that FPV was banned! Well it's not yet anyway... :)

The only person who records things is leccyflyer, and they're locomotive numbers. I wouldn't worry.

Yada yada, Flying clubs don't like FPV, or some of them don't.
Just another rumour

They can watch the barge becoming a submarine if they like. Get me their email address and I'll send them the link.

In my defense, I saw a mole, and if you don't get them quick, they spread like rabbits....

haha you guys are awesome, the source isn't very credible looking back on it. My mum was told by some postman :D ah well at least we all have high spirits !!

Shikra · July 15, 2011, 09:58:39 AM

Darned postman! LOL

Just to make you paranoid, when I was running my FPV website I installed a module to see who was accessing most and...

#2 was the good old MOD
#1 was very intersting. Only an IP address was listed. Unable to look up the owners. As I am in IT and never senn this it got me intrigued. So googling I found quite a few posts saying the same. By now my stubborn and determine dstreak kicked in so kept on looking through literally hundreds of google pages.
Eventually I found the owner via a chinese dns website that clearly didn't respect security or privacy.
The owner was a marketing comapany with a very normal looking website, but really didn't seem to offer anything. So I looked uo there address to see where it was and it matched that of US Dept of Defense......

Jeez guys, I'm flying a toy foam plane! That's a lot of trouble to go to! On a positive I think its an indicator that someone is being vigilant! If just likes watching fpv videos!
