FPV in Florida

by Dr_Kirkland | August 13, 2013 | (0) Posted in Just Fun

This past weekend I took a vacation and went to Palatka, Florida. While there, I went flying with a DLG (Discus launch glider) pilot, and did some FPV, chasing the plane when I could.

Here is some footage I got, I have never done air-to-air FPV before, so it is somewhat shaky footage. I hope you enjoy it! Give me opinions on what I could do better, or what I did well. Much obliged.

P.S. I flew into JAX in Florida, from IAH in Houston, TX, and one of my main concerns was transporting my tricopter, specifically the LiPo batteries. I took two 2200 mAh 3s 25c Turnigy batteries, contained in a fireproof LiPo bag that can be purchased from HobbyKing. I put them in a security bin, along with the tricopter, and sent it through the security machine. Not only did it make it through, but I also was asked only one question by a TSA officer, who seemed interesting in it, noticing that it was some form of robotics. I took all of this as carry-on, along with my Dx6i transmitter, Fatshark FPV goggles/LiPo, and GoPro. Just thought it might be of some use for others, since I was very nervous about traveling with the gear and would have appreciated any info I could have obtained.
