These FPV setups are killer.  [evil]

He's a very good pilot.

About a year ago I decided I wanted to get into an FPV setup and bought a $40 jobber to play around with before I built a four figure rig.  There's no camera on it and it really doesn't matter if I wreck it but it's pretty fun.  I can keep it upright and moving pretty easily but it's nowhere near as fast as what's shown in the video.

That guy's ditched more than a few to get to that point :D

I did a 'full gainer' off the high dive and bought a setup like this plus the micro to bring up my skills.

8) Well, the bird itself comes in under $500, it's pretty stout CF. Rotors get busted up a lot. I'm not gonna even try to mount a GoPro on it till I can fly decent.

RTF my ass! It's been a painful few days, but my dumbass finally got the quad setup. Now to learn the proper way to charge these lipo batteries without blowing one up and burning my house down.  :D I won't be flying FPV anytime soon either.  ;)
