About the aircraft (Ritewing Zephyr) - www.ritewingrc.com
Chris at RitewingRC developed the Zephyr flying wing specifically for FPV. Ritewings (e.g. Demon or TL, TL-50) are known by enthusiasts to have awesome performance and insane speed. Coming from the Maxi Swift, I can only agree. I took all the gear off my Maxi Swift and put it on the Zephyr ... and man is there a difference. The speed more than doubled, flight time remained about the same. The plane turns, tracks and glides great, it takes each command from the pilot and converts it into action. Nothing bad to be said about this aircraft, simply astonishing. Recommended for anyone who already got his feet wet with FPV!

About the ezOSD - www.immersionrc.com
I'm a skeptic of OSDs. The screen real estate is limited and when flying hard and fast, nothing should clutter your screen. Most current OSDs do nothing but clutter up your screen - take a look at all the good/crazy pilots ... none of them use OSDs. I have chosen to give the ezOSD a try because it is the least cluttered and, as the name says, it's easy to set up and use. Installation is a breeze (5mins at most if you have a ready FPV aircraft), and the performance is brilliant. The ezOSD can be turned off during flight ... but it's so clean and doesn't disturb the pilot at all, so not really required to turn it off.

  • @drpatso that song was a request by the owner of Ritewing ... blame him :D

  • Incredible. It doesn't hurt that you live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world.

  • AMAZiNG !! this channel has got me really interested in trying out some FPV flying for myself. looks really really awesome !

  • @nastycop420 haha what a goof, anyway people putting the danger zone song is just as bad, I'm just messing though, but really people should go search out bands that are good that are still playing, and writing new material, support creative movement, how do these people think they even got to hear their beloved classic rock songs? if everyone would of been like that when zeppelin was coming around nobody would even know about them
