HD FPV Flying over the English Channel - Almost losing my Plane to the strong winds

My first Flight with my new Panasonic FX35 HD Camera on an Easystar RC Plane. We spend some days in Folkestone England so it was a perfect opportunity to fly over the English Channel. Unfortunately the wind was very strong. Especially at the cliff. But i had to try ...

Thank you!

Before the Gopro cam the FX35 Lumix was probably the camera with the widest angle and i was quite happy with it even though the gopro is certainly much better now.

@andrewbickers

hi andrew. this video was taken with the panasonic fx35 and stored in the camera on sd card. i did not use a transmitter here ... was a little too afraid to loose it all to the ocean ;)

Great Job getting it back on the ground! I've flown my Easystar in very windy conditions before and nearly lost it. The whole time I was trying to keep it flying into the wind but it kept inching away from my position. Finally by stroke of luck the wind died down a little and I immediatly flew the plane to the ground and told myself "I will never fly in strong winds again".

Freut mich, dass deine Ausrüstung die Bruchlandung heil überstanden hat!
