My 1st FPV flight

I spent a fantastic afternoon learning how to setup and fly fpv with my friend Todd. He drove up from CT with all of his gear just to share this great hobby with a fellow fpv fan, namely me. ;-) Thanks man!
After I helped him dirty his Hummer while looking for suitable fpv sites in my area, we settled on the Oxbow Marina in Northampton, Mass. The folks there were kind enough to let us fly. And after our 2nd flight which had a radio glitch that caused a crash into the waters of the marina, a kind boater fished Todd's plane out and returned it to him.
Can you tell I was nervous in this video!!! Watch and listen to the video and find out why.... - Partok81
PS- I forgot to include this when I first posted this video: The model is a heavily modified Multiplex EasyStar that I am flying.

@MrFlench - Well thank you for the compliment Mr Flench. I'm glad you found me on YouTube. I might subscribe to your videos here as well. Although I'm not sure as I think the video quality is better on Vimeo. Happy Landings, - Rob

Hi, See video "FPV: Ox-Bow Marina" to see the video shot by the plane. My flight, since it was my first, was not recorded from the plane. But the plane's owner's flight was recorded from the plane. Clear?

Great video man, your welcome. Im gonna get this for my nitro so i dont have to worry about my battery dieing. As you know up here the lakes freeze over and it makes a perfect flying field. If you look at some of my videos, I have the perfect lake for it. Once again, Nice video.

Opps, guess I forgot to include that. It was one of the ubiquitous EasyStar's by Multiplex. Their so common in fpv, I guess it slipped my mind to include this. Good catch. Thanks.
