neilp9876 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Been flying for years have the whole lot 5 jet turbines loads of high performance gliders 15 heli's & about 40 planes & all the DJI phantom collection just love them all mate house looks like heathrow airport fpv is really easy much preference fvp quads to planes & can go anywhere with these worth minimal space to land compared to planes where you need landing space Maybe your challenge should be how many can you keep in the air at the same time?

neilp9876 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Here's a quick flight demo of mine on a really windy day! That looks really stable especially in those winds, does it use gps to hold the position? I flew mine at the weekend as well but crashed it into a tree, managed to get it down and put it away until I can practise a bit more. Does anyone use the home lock facility on the dji? I wonder whether it would be easier to control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cipriani Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Yeah that was GPS lock I was demonstrating there. The video was for someone who was going to buy it from me but never showed up... The usual Gumtree! It runs on a 4s 3350mah giving about 18 mins on a good day and around 12 on a really windy day. Did you have a camera onboard when you crashed? I'd recommend spending more time on a sim during the bad weather than actual flying, may be boring but it will cost you less and most likely keep your interest as you will be a much better pilot at the other end.

FOSTA Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Took my quadcopter out today for my first FPV flight, I was abit nervous at first but I soon relized I needed to fully commit to the screen if I didn't want to crash! After a few minutes I felt really confident and had an awswsome flight! I felt like I had a lot more control using FPV then I do without! I even managed to land perfectly! Batteries are now on charge and can't wait for my next flight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heedthebaw Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Guys in work use these for building inspections, need to get my hands on one! Think these would be pretty cool for quarter mile drag races and stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cipriani Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 If my buyer doesn't come. Back to me by tomorrow night for my tbs drone I'm going to break it, it's 100% operational but worth more as components most likely. If anyone is interested in the spec let me know it is all pretty high end stuff, camera is a GoPro 3 black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine going up/down a pass in the alps with someone filming from one of those. Top Gear wouldn't get a look in (what with it being a car you actually loved ha).
