Cool, lets hope the corruption that controls the FFA realizes they are the threat to themselves not FPV aircraft.

Great Video! Someone should do a fly over the Rockies or Grand Cannon.

I know the Rockies will be hit by two Canadian gentleman with a lot of FPV gear this August. I hope they share some of their footage.
Grand Canyon is hard to do since it is a National Park and flying inside a NP is forbidden by the park rules.

I fly a Ritewing Zephyr 2 (ZII) and Dijay-I flies...well...his wing is one of a kind. It's his own design which he made around two leftover wing halfes from a crashed plane.
We both use Scherrer UHF, where I use 2.4 Lawmate for video and Dijay-I uses 5.8 ImmersionRC gear.

What are your specs of the planes, motors, radios and FPV? What kinda of range were you getting?

Our goal is not to get maximum range. We just need enough range to fly to the spots we think are interesting. So what's the maximum range on my system? I honestly don't know. All flights in this video were within 4km, which is well within our comfort zone.

So cool! I just stayed in Wengen with my family about 3 weeks ago and passed Grindelwald on the cogwheel trains. We took the cable car up to Mannlichen and I wished I had a FPV plane or a slope soarer up there. It is definitely the most beautiful place I have ever seen. We also saw lots of BASE jumpers, wingsuiters, paragliders, and skydivers jump from Murren and land in the Lauterbrunnen valley. Your video is beautiful!

Absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing. I think if I were you I would end up standing on my head trying to keep up with some of those dives and turns, FPV must be awesome to experience.
Marty, I may be mistaken but I believe The Grand Canyon's airspace to be very tightly regulated, but it would be amazing. I have seen footage taken from an ultralight, and it was wonderful.

Holy cliff-dives Batman! That was awesome. I think I need to move...

I recognize some of the places that you flew over because we hiked lots of trails near Grindelwald. I really wanted to do some cliff-dives down Silberhorn and the whole glacier below it. We could see it from our rental house in Wengen.

Stunning. I don't watch many FPV videos all the way through but this was an exception.
