They make it look like an easy hobby but I don't think it is. It looks like fun though.
Does anyone recognize the building they fly out of at the start ?
What about the islands in the middle ? I say its Koh Chang. Just them big hills remind me of Chang.
What about the beach toward the end ? Looks like Patong to me...
Is there such a thing as a manned drone?
Was it here for the temples and beaches?
I'd like to know what set up they have, that thing seems to have amazing range especially when they are flying over the jungle. At the start one of the guys is holding some kind of aerial which might be a range booster.
Also they must have some kind of pilot cam to see where they are going. But the plane at the start doesn't look big enough to carry a go pro and a pilot cam?
Great vid and cool tunes.:)
I reckon the island at the start is Koh Phangan and then Patong at the end. The building at the start might be State Tower.
Underwater too, that's impressive...!!
You can buy all the kit here: Team BlackSheep Online Store - Premium FPV components and solutions
Minus the Go-Pro.
It's not out of this world expensive, except the video goggles are a bit pricey. I want one.:)

The sport is a big deal these days. You can get goggles with screens in them and that's how you control them. The camera on it is small enough to fit on itQuote:

Thought these things bordered on Illegal, seems Black Sheep have been attracting a lot of attention from the FAA.
Yep I've been pricing it up. Can get the whole kit for about 40,000bt.Quote:

This book was written by one of the guys on the site. I've read most of it already and it does make things a lot clearer as to the set up you need and where to start.Quote:
