Short build and first flight video

[AdamG]

I made this video for my friends who haven't got a clue what FPV is and to show them what i'd been up to, so sorry if some of the info bores you clued up FPVers :P

Only the length of one song but take a quick look into the build of the GS and my Skaywalker 1900, and then some flight footage.
Notice how Sh*t my DVR recording is!! im replacing that piece of  :-X

That was excellent ;)but I hate that word "drone" :smashpc:

haha actually i do too, but it seems to be the only way i can convince general non RC people that its not just a toy plane that you fly LOS :P (well i know technically kind of still is, but i feel like it should fall under a different more serious category  :+)

I hope you got a decent reaction from your friends - when I attempted to show my work colleagues, they were all "you have to control it yourself, that's a bit primitive isn't it, can't you program it do do it all automatically ?"  I just couldn't get them to understand that the fun was in the flying

Nicely put together and nice build! Looks like that thing can really glide! Landing took forever! :)

haha i can imagine people saying that  :P I actually got quite a good reaction from it, a lot of people were very impressed. People that were bored instantly at the mention of it, then watched the video and became very interested all of a sudden  :D

Oh god yeah! I thought id get down way quicker... ended up with a 60 meter walk to fetch it  :opps: I'm still pretty new to it, was my first FPV landing so I'm sure my aim will get better. Was quite windy too which I'm sure contributed towards slowing the decent.
