you guys mentioned some $19 dollar thing you bought to prevent the fire next time, and then you never mentioned what it actually was. And what is the full size flight simulator you use for your tablet?

???? For FPV beginners, like me: using standard equipment ie. 250mw tx (Fatshark Attitude SD V2 package) could you provide some advice on how to fly the terrain? What I mean is: how much trouble do trees cause? am I right in trying to work out the topography in advance to avoid flying below take-off-ground-level ? Obviously I could work this out by trial and error, but you guys have already done it: right?

I can't answer for the great guys at FliteTest, but from my recent experience I would say that you should try and keep it as simple as possible. Before you fly, identify landmarks which will be easily visible from the air, so that you can reference where you are sky whilst flying. When flying try to stay a few mistakes high, making sure you don't go to low, don't try and follow the ground, you need to get used to the FPV sensation first! If you can get someone to buddy lead you so they can save you if something goes wrong.

Ultimately enjoy it! FPV is fantastic!

Hi There, due to the laser accident, will this effect the order I placed on the 21/04/14? My order is still appearing as "Process" :(

Looks like you guys could use some micro multicopter suggestions. I found a couple that I'd love to see reviewed.
Soma Warpquad: http://vimeo.com/86291282 This is the most agile multicopter I've ever seen!

France?
Well, I hope my parents allow me to go there. Also, hopefully the train won't be too expensive...

Guys...I have a big problem with you and it is so simple to explain: I AM ADDICTED TO FLITETEST! I was eating a pasta while listening to the podcast and then Austin says "Mateo" and I was like "what?", hahaha. I totally forgot that I've made a question for the podcast. Thank you very much for awnsering my question. I love when Josh names me, it happened to me 2 times before, in our skype talk 2 years ago and the July UPDATE 2012 you made.

So again, thank you for making me addict and for mentioning my show (it's all because of you). Cheers from Argentina,
Mateo and the staff.
