EPP FPV Clovistan N.M.

Here is my most recent EPP FPV flight.  I included the post Flight data on screen so you can see whats going on with the plane.  My goal was to see how much power the plane had at top speeds and to see how hot it would get.  I could have had a much longer flight.  With this setup I have flown for 25-30 min.  Also I took Scott and Scott's Idea of a double decker camera system. the camera your watching is my GO PRO 2, the upper camera (controller by a separate transmitter/ Co-Pilot) can be moved and has and OSD Pro hooked up so you can see on the ground all this cool info. I just didn't want to ruin such a good video with ladder boards and other stuff. Hope you enjoy this fun flight.

Everything that is in, on or around the plane can be found in the last min of the video.

I plan on doing a how to video to show you all how to set up your logger and a plane tracking system. Its a bit more advanced ground station. Should have a video available in a few days.

I like the map in the corner! I am keen to learn about the tracker system, I have a hobbyking/AEO rc OSD system that has a GPS as well would this work?

As long as you can save your data or convert it to Google earth you should be able to. I am using the eagletree equipment and the tracker you see in the corner is data I got post flight. I am unsure if there is a way to view it live while you fly. I know if you can save it as a KML file Google earth can track where you are.
