EasyStar #2 : My first recorded FPV, with friends trying the goggles

@traderdmb Thanks! :D I really enjoy it too. The weather is just starting to warm up a bit here now, so I am hoping to start getting out there again.  I am hoping to get my helicopter set up for FPV this year as well. Thanks for watching :D

very nice! This looks like a great place to fly. Looks like gonna be having some fun with this new camera setup. Can't wait to see more videos

[carlosthecactus]

@x7cj87 Yeah it's quite a nice park built on top of an old coal mine slag heap. There are some interesting bits to it, like a railway line a few hundred metres away so I quite fancy racing a train sometime soon :D My current goal though is to get confident enough in the equipment to go flying down on the beach and over the waves.

very nice flying.. FPV looks like great fun..

[carlosthecactus]

@juz70 It is tremendous fun, though I am still fairly new to it and have not yet built confidence in the range of the video / control and my ability to react if something goes wrong, i.e. I tend to panic when the video glitches a bit. That said, I have just upgraded both my video and control equipment and have done rock solid ground test at 1.2km so I should be able to relax and enjoy the flights a bit more now :D

@DLPlanes Thanks. Great to hear from you guys!

very nice , you r good ,how do you do them moves have you put alarons on it, nice low flying and turns

[carlosthecactus]

@marka1236 Thanks :D Yes it does have ailerons on it. I am glad I put them on as it lets me be much more aerobatic than a standard EZ* but also it lets me fly in much higher winds where the rudder seems to have little or no authority.

Thanks for watching :D
