How do the numbers 5,000 feet altitude and 4.8Kms distance sound for an FPV record?
And it was all done without breaking a single rule, law or regulation - because we know that there are some folk who have powerful hate of FPV flying and others who think that everything they see on the internet is real.
However, I know that even this 100% safe example of FPV flying won't please some folk -- who have trouble understanding that "it's just YouTube" -- you know, just like "it's just Television" or "it's just the movies".
Used in this record-breaking flight were:
HobbyKing EPP FPV plane
8,000mAH of Zippy lipos
FY31A RTL system and Hornet OSD
Turnigy 9X radio with FrSky DIY
RCModelReviews 4-port diversity controller
Fatshark Aviator video goggles
An omnidirectional CP antenna on the model
5-turn helical and omnidirectional antennas on the base-station.
A full container of Makebelieve(tm), the miracle FPV safety additive.
Thumbs-up if you "get it".
