Yup Jose - that's actually my plan...go far out west and fly over the everglades - not for gators though...just for fun
- BUT - a tuna spotter plane out in the ocean would be very cool too! thanks for the idea!!!- I can think of lots of ways I can "land" back "on" the boat or close enough if I use a glider - or big floats ... now that's a project!!! hahaha
Experimenting different things is why I love this hobby. I am most conformable when I step outside of my comfort zone because that's when I am experimenting new things and getting unexpected results therefore surprising myself- - So many cool ideas, so little time and money [
]
Now, if people don't like to experiment new things and just "go by the manual" that's fine and I respect that because it's safe and enjoyable, but please...respect my ways too, if I want to try different things. I am taking all the precautions necessary and that's all you need to know.
may i ask what fpv cam you are thinking about useing?
because unless you spend some serious cash, the range on that video cam will much less than line of site, maybe 500yards if that.
this is a non issue because a $100 fpv viedo cam cant (or the ones that i have seen) transmit very far.
also i have a $50 video cam. it transmitts about 200-300 yards in the air. enought to climb to altitude, look around and see the world around me. its cool but the video feed is unreliable and will drop off quickly without being able to see the model it could be very ugly .
the picture quality is not great and i could do the same thing w/ a digital camera and get a much better result
