    Hey there Vibers! This month we held another league race here in Boise and I thought I'd share another one of my more exciting heats. Still got a bit 'til I can catch Furadi and Zero,but I'm working on it. Volume recommended :)

    FPV Video Need some advice

    Most of the Boise FPV crew and I use Hawkeye vtxs. They're small, inexpensive, race-band ready, 200mw, and I haven't had an issue yet. I personally used a monitor at the beginning to get used to FPV and to save money. However, I paid $80 for a set of UFO goggles and haven't turned back since...

    FPV Racing Boise FPV - June Points Race (Video)

    Long time fan of 'The Vibe here, so I figured I'd share some of what we've been up to in good ol' Boise, Idaho. Some of you guys might recognize it as the hometown of Conrad "Furadi" Miller and Chris "Hazak" Haskins, as well where any of you ThrustUAV Riot-owners got your quad frame. This was...

From what I seem to gather the whole sport of FPV racing, even with a trained spotter, seems to hardly be legal, so really I can't say this makes...

    Can a hobbyist fly FPV at a home course?

    This sounds like a ridiculously simple question which I feel should have an equally simple solution. Nonetheless, with all the FAA regulations in place I would like to know if whether or not what I plan to do is legal. Essentially, when I'm at home I would like to be able to practice FPV racing...
