Kenilworth Castle & Solihull - My first FPV video attempt

[AdamG]

After learning to fly my F450 quad over the last 4 weeks i decided this morning to put together a compilation of some footage I've taken, a fair amount of it from a flight around Kenilworth Castle yesterday late afternoon.

Hope to get a lot better but I'm happy with my first stab at it  :D Hope you like:

Some awesome shots there mate,  well done! Kenilworth reminds me of back in the day when I went there for a school history project! Where was that quarry? Looked really cool!

Cheers mate  ;D

The quarry is in Leicestershire somewhere. Will go there again as i was a bit nervous flying there due to my Turing 9XR developing a fault that day :( Here is a link to it on google maps:

You'll need to change it to satellite view obviously  :+

Ah awesome, thanks Adam. Sadly it's quite far from me now, but if I go in that direction I may check it out!

Understandible with not trusting the radio with all that! How are you finding the Taranis?

[AdamG]

If you do, there is a great spot with picnic benches on the north side where you can walk up some stairs from the main road. Its right on the edge of the quarry :)

At this point i didn't realise it was the 9XR causing the problem, i thought it might have been a motor issue on full throttle as it was twisting right when increasing altitude. The Taranis is good thanks. Have to say my first evening programming it got me very frustrated, but i got there eventually. So many options on it! I don't think i will ever use more than 25% of its functions  (?)

Lol same here, I know what I need to do on my taranis, but no more.

Thanks for the info on the quarry, I'll definitely check it out!

I cant believe a random guy that was in my video found it on youtube and commented :o what are the chances
