Bareback FPV with an RC plane

Lance decided to do a little bareback FPV ( first person view ) flying with his RC plane on a lovely winter's day here in New Zealand and I was there to film it.

What is "bareback FPV"?

It's the simplest form of FPV flying using just a camera, video link and video glasses or screen. No onscreen display (OSD), no autopilot, no telemetry, no GPS -- just a pilot's-eye view of the action.

If you're interested in FPV then watch out for a series of videos and articles coming soon on my RCModelReviews channel and the RCModelReviews.com website:

The handicap comment... disappointing.

@BeeZee2 Thanks for the comment -- I win a bet. I said "someone's sure to take offense at that comment" and I was right! You've got to lighten up a little -- it's called taking the piss and we all do it. And Lance *is* handicapped by bad flying ;-)
