Hi everyone,
I finally managed to put a little video recap of my 2015 FPV adventures together.
Enjoy.
In regards to FPV 2015 was a very mixed year for me. I really didn't do a lot of flying. Maybe 20 lipo cycles all together in a whole year. Yeah you're right, that sucks. But those flights that I managed to do were super awesome. Together with my buddy Dijay-I we did three FPV road trips last year and almost all the footage in the video above was shot on those three trips.
The first one was to our long time FPV friends in the very south of Bavaria, Germany. We also did some flying in the Austrian alps on that trip. You can find out more about that trip in this article here:

The second trip was to one of my personal FPV heroes whose videos I always admire. Guigui86 from France. It was super awesome to visit and fly together with him and I'm proud to call him a friend now too. More about that trip over here:

Our third trip was to our annual FPV meeting of the German fpv-treff.de forum. The meeting took place near Heidelberg, Germany. You can check out our forum here:
But at least I was able to sneak in a hand full of flights back at home in the Black Forest, Germany:
I did all my flights with my Ritewing Z3 S 47”. If you can see it in the video one of my friends who flew with me in formation provided the footage. All the rest is on-board footage of my Z3.
So although 2015 was a bad year regarding my total airtime, I feel privileged to be able to visit so many awesome people and beautiful places.
Really hope you like the video. A lot of FPV love went into making it.

What kind of FPV gear do you have on the wing? Learners want to know.
thanks - David

Everything you put up here is a must watch for FPVer's like myself. I haven't got the long range gear yet but I think that New Zealand's peaks will look just as impressive if I ever get round to it.
Thanks taking the (considerable) time to edit and post this work.

Oh yeah! New Zealand's epic scenery should be perfect for FPV adventures. Would love to be able to fly there myself one day. Do it!
