Another awesome video. Love your overview and the ground recording. I also take my laptop and use easycap so I have pretty much all my flights recorded how I see them.

Cool FPV flight, WOW! you have time to go Fly before work, That would be kinda hard for me since I start work at 6am. I guess if I was into night flying. Keep flying, and have fun.

Thanks! I was very lucky during that time - I got to come to work at 8am and could squeeze in a few flights on my way in.

I thought where you were flying looked a little familiar. It's the old Meigs airport, minus the airport. That's where I learned to fly planes on Microsoft Flight simulator back in the day.

Yep! It is Meigs. Now its a park - one of the few large parks in the city. A great place to fly early in the morning when no one is there yet

Hah hah yeah it is! I remember seeing the real meigs field out the window of my parent's car when I was a kid and saying "Hey, I've been there! Oh wait, no I haven't, that was Flight Simulator!".

It's really too bad it was closed down, but I guess it makes a cool spot to fly RC.

I am using easycap usb - with the easy viewer software. I know that a lot of people have had problems with it - I got very lucky and it just worked for me!
