Hehehe mine was an Axn I believe back a long long time ago.

Haha, awesome, ill get a pic of "my first" up later.  ;D

[FPVSteve]

I'm also interested in the "later that day" photographs of these aircraft :laugh:

Looks like you were an early adopter of the FPV backpack concept too....

I wish my Easy Star was as neat & tidy as that...
:P

Still in great condition mounted on the wall.

Notice the velcro mounting system and safety spikes.  ;D

[FPVSteve]

lol safety spikes, wtf :laugh:

[CurryKitten]

Weirdly, I find myself not having any photos of the FPV setup, but I have a video of my quack and dirty pan setup

The first flights went fine, but I flew it first time at a meet and so had multiple people spotting and telling me which way to turn.

Before that time I'd already been attempting LOS flights and stuffed it into the ground 20 times and had it stuck up a tree for 24 hours.

Despite suffering multiple horrendous crashes that have seen the nose turned to mush and the fuse snap repeatedly.  I still have it and it still flies, albeit it feels a bit like a wet sponge now

Yeah that was years before Bruce had even heard of FPV :)

He stole my idea ! :)

[FPVSteve]

Shame even Bruce turned to Quadcopters, I enjoyed the FPV videos he did onboard his AXN and HobbyKing FPV planes.

[Coyote]

To be honest the one thing I will never remember him for is his continuous circuits of the same airstrip over and over again :)

[FPVSteve]

Come on, that's where I learned my craft :laugh:

He did do a few narrated videos (one where he almost crashed 1km away with the R-Link UHF) .. I think he'd probably have done more if he hadn't been grounded and is now playing the safe game.

I was a fairly late starter, so this was mine 2 years ago-



A Skywalker Falcon. Actually flew really well and totally gave me the bug. Wish I'd kept it now but I ended up hacking it to bits trying to mod it to take bigger batteries. Can't find them anywhere anymore!
