      haha
      yes I was being a little careless in that part of the yard there, but it's just a mini quad that weighs a couple lbs....

      as for the cars.. saw em coming long before the GoPro did... my flight cam has a wider angle of perspective

      Not the safest flight, I agree. ... speed limit right there is 20, plus there's a speed bump... no excuse but I'm not an angel. ....

      This is the last and only FPV rig I have left... Hands down my favorite. This thing is no larger than a mouse pad... mind you there was quite a bit of wind that day..


      The beginning of the flight I went high and started to test the different flight modes....
      It has:
      -Attitude mode; Which is BORRRING... Its autolevel with limits on degrees..
      -Horizon Mode; Which is okay.. Nice little feature-- Its basically autolevel, but with the capability of doing rolls and flips... It just levels out by itself when you let go of the sticks..
      -Manual/Rate mode: Which is my favorite one and the one I use 99.9% of the time. Complete manual mode like a heli where it just tracks your last input.

      I switched into this mode after doing those high altitude flips and rolls in the beginning...

      You can kinda tell when I switch it into manual.. It's that last roll before I start to descend and start my "flight circuit".


      Fun little bugger!

      I had CC3D's on all my machines....

      Switched to Naze32 and i'm never going back. I've tried NAZA, CC3D, Revo, CC, Hoverthings and APM flight controllers.


      Naze32 all the way. 20x more locked in and easier to tune throughout the entire powerband-- This video was stock PIDS..... only thing I changed was the throttle curve and my RC rates / its even more locked in NOW

      If you havent tried one yet, I suggest you do. Plus, they;re only $25

      I dont need RTH or GPS on my mini quad so that isnt a priority for me

      Cant beat that

      Its the TrueRC crosshair antenna. I can go miles (literally 2 LOS--Not on this airframe, but i've done it with my old QAV400) with a crystal clear connection. If I go behind a thick metal building I get some breakup, but still flyable.

      I just turn my head and use myself as a tracker since its a bit directional compared to an omni CP
