Canadair Regional-Jet 900NG of SAS Scandinavian Airlines arriving rwy.33 at Birmingham-BHX, 29/04/18.
Fitted out for FPV. Maximum separation between video transmitter, RC receiver, motor and ESC gives much better video transmission range.
Mobius camera produces lots of RF noise, reducing video range. Simple board camera produces much less interference.
Made from ID cards, depron and tape. Base ID card slips under the wing-mount rubber bands, placing it close to the CG.
All up weight 115g
For FPV sloping the camera really needs to be on a pan servo.

First time successfully flying my quad.

DJI Naza controller
I tried for a long time to get the quad to fly using the "Free Flight" board, but it just wouldn't cooperate, so I gave in and bought a Naza controller. So Sweet!
If you live in seattle, and visit Carkeek Park, you may have noticed a sign at the entrance that said "Model Airport". I never knew what this was, and never saw anything like a model airport when visiting the park in the past. Well, if you take a left when you get to the lower part of the park (after leaving the main parking lot and heading east) you will come to a small meadow, which is actually a field for flying control line airplanes.
Total success!.
Not something I get to say often, but it all worked perfectly. Clear stable picture as far as I dared to fly.
Flying was no problem but estimating height and location are a bit trickier. I even managed one FPV landing. Adrenaline pumping fun. Video to come.
FPV = first person view, basically means video piloting via an onboard camera and video transmitter.
At rest in the Pentland Firth, off the north coast of Scotland. The Jura was, at the time I took this, operated by the SFPA (Scottish Fisheries Protection Agency). Now the SFPA has been absorbed into what is clumsily known as Marine Scotland Compliance!
