FPV using multi-rotor is where I'm aiming for, currently with a F450 style frame equipped with an Hobbyking KK2.0 with the latest firmware and flying Spektrum DS6i and DSMx receiver (Park Flyer at the mo). I am now waiting for the airframe parts to construct a third iteration of this 450, having spectacularly crashed and broken on two previous attempts. The hand, eye, brain are not cooperating just yet. This is beginning to get a tad expensive. Especially as I've wrecked the KK2 during the last flight, yesterday, where the wind took it, I lost control and dumped it on the ground upside down (stunt flying already, I impress myself!).
An old petrol head, anything that moves mechanically is of interest to me. But these Quads and FPV have caught my imagination big time. Watching the more experienced on YouTube has me green with envy. I can feel a bit of a fire of passion on the go here, so this is likely to be my next big "thing" after motorcycles (that I've been riding since 1969).
Problems so far? Nowhere apparent to fly - I ventured out to a local rec yesterday, windswept, perhaps that was a mistake
Otherwise its the long back garden for now, but even thats fraught with danger as I'm alongside a road. I really don't want to be taking the tops off passers by heads.
I'm glad to have found this forum - there seems to be a ton and a half of reading material for me to go through. Looking forward to some interesting times ahead.
