Way to scare him off, guys...<div>
</div><div>When flying FPV, ensure that you have a spotter. It may not seem necessary, but it is easier than it looks to fly out of sight or range before you realise it. Take the first couple flights slowly. It is very easy to become disoriented doing aerobatics if you do not have a full 360 degree view around you. You may also find that you are flying too high or too low compared to a normal RC pattern as the techniques used to judge altitude are completely different. You may find it easier if you sit down while flying instead of standing to prevent dizziness or disorientation. </div><div>
</div><div>Either way, ensure you have a spotter and a well trimmed model (you will need to fly it non-FPV a few times first to learn how it flies and to pick out any problems before you commit to an FPV flight) </div><div>
</div><div>Happy flying! </div>
