Long Distance FPV: A Narrated 14.4km FPV Flight

by markvanhaze | September 11, 2013 | (0) Posted in Just Fun

I have been wanting to fly to this island ever since I started with FPV 2 years ago. Doing so meant to overcome my fear of flying over water and pushing my plane to its limit. It was to be my scariest flight yet.

Setup:

Mostly detailed in the video but here is an outline:

Ritewing Zephyr II

OMA-3820-1200 O.S. Motor

10x6 Aeronaut CAM folding prop

2 x 3300mAh Lipos

EzUHF system

1280MHz Video System

MyFlyDream Antenna Tracker

RVOSD controller

 

Feel free to write any questions or requests - I will be happy to help you out.

I started off like all of us small, first few flights did not get beyond 1Km but eventually I started going further which more than anything came from understanding the equipment and trusting it.
