FPV Quadcopter Prince of Wales mine works adventure

[JAB1a]

Hi All,

 

Now that the evenings are starting to get lighter, me and a few friends had the first "after work" flight of the year. I have never been to these ruins of old Cornish mine buildings so decided to explore via FPV. I used some smaller and lighter Lipo batteries for more performance on some of the flights at the cost of less air time but increased fun factor.

Awesome speeches and demonstrations in those TED talks, bring on the day they can do all that without a room full of cameras and PC's... probably only a few months away lol

I am using Spektrum DX6i for my radio control with the AR6210+Sat receiver. For FPV I am using Fatshark Attitude SD goggles with the Fatshark V3 vRx and and V3.2 vTx, both are using Skew Planar antenna to give me a rock solid video link.
