Happy Flyers on tour Part 1 - Millau Viaduct FPV with nasty surprise

[MatthiasC]

What has that to do with cash? We are not promoting any of our products neither we monetize our Youtube Videos.


It seems controversial at all, but it is as is.

The last shot against traffic direction was UNDER the Level of the rail of the Bridge. Failsafe was programmed so wing immediately goes down there.

If, as you say, this shot was UNDER the level of the rail, why can we see over the top rail to the roof of the car and the central cable attachment points? Also other shots diving down the bridge were against the flow of traffic. Your own video is ample evidence that what you say is incorrect.

[MatthiasC]

Ehm no? What happens there if wing goes down immediately? Of course it was not possible to fly every second exactly on the same altitude as we wanted. But always like that so the wing would go down out of the range of danger if something happens.

As I sayd: We did anything possible to reduce the risks. That was not like: Oh yes look at this cool Bridge lets do some inconsiderately flying there....


The only Point that we have to say that it was always possible for a Driver to get scared by the plane. I have seen car Drivers get scared by one of those planes even if they are 200m away.

But for that reason we waited so long that traffic is near Zero.

electrotor, its not in our mind to convince you with something.

Of course you can make your own oppinion about that.


It was an intention of mine to tell you what we did there. There are so many Facts / situations there so it doesn't make sense we discuss about every second in this Video.


Hope you're not offended!

Beam me up too. The damning evidence is there for all to see.

[MatthiasC]

This means it is near impossible to fly ANYWHERE near a street without the risk a Driver become scared.
One day we crossed a street 150m above it and a Driver just looked at the planes at the sky and has driven right in the gras with his car only because he keept starring at those planes. One of the guys beside us noticed that.

Er... what are the links at bottom of all your posts then FFS?

Excuse me... this is FFS not the Video or Video description. We do also answer questions here about our Wipeout wing like Ratty builds one atm. This has nothing to do with the Video.

I can't delete the FFS in one thread and add them in the other or can I?

[MatthiasC]

And if you critical Folks need an example for whats REAL dangerous take a look at this. Shots liket these are made on near any big Event today:

Matthias,
I subscribe to your YouTube feed as you do have some pretty awesome clips on there. From my point of view, you need to be a little responsible and understand the influence you have on kids who want to get into the hobby. What you don't want is someone less capable imitating you and flooding the Internet with clips that will ultimately lead to someone getting hurt or at the very least shine a negative light on what we all do. The spotlight is on FPV, so keep it creative and impressive but know not to overstep the mark.

It's still illegal to FPV in France. So how about e mailing a link to these chaps and see if they think it's OK? Go on I dare you.

They'll probably be on strike though.

Lol @ ipeel

So true though. On the way down to Mljet Mali Losinj a couple months ago, we had to route around France as the French ATC were on strike, so we couldn't fly IFR through France...
