Thread: Newbie from Bellingham, WA

    Newbie from Bellingham, WA

    Hello everyone. While definitely not new to flying I am new to FPV and look forward to really soaking in everything on here. I'm a sponsored pod & boom heli pilot and avid photographer. I'm not into long range flying but am into aerial photography and cinematography so learning how to setup proper and reliable systems is a must and why I'm here. Thanks in advance for any help!

    Yeah!
    My grandma lives in Bellingham, caught my first fish there, right next to the Ford Dealer in Whatcom creek LOL..

    Hey I'm down in Bremerton, got a guy on Whidbey, a guy in Seattle, one in Sequim, one in Auburn man probably more than that!
    We'd like to go fly Mt Si in the coming months - maybe an FPV meet at Mt Si!

    My long range goal is to fly to the top of the Olympics, specifically "The Brothers" but I have to do so from this side of the Canal to keep LOS. 9 Miles...

    Welcome to the lab, from over on Whidbey as Scott said above. Don't know if you've been up to the club over by you, but i went up there during one of their all bird fly ins with the big old timer and my first cam set. They all got a kick out of it and even tried to locate one of the lost airplanes.

    Were getting closer to having a huge Wa FPV meet.

    Welcome nwmtech! We are giving the Colorado guys a run... aviation is big around here ... with Boeing just up the road. We are trying to figure something out in the spring when the weather is more predictable. Mt Si is a potential location about 30mi east of Seattle. But I suspect many of us are willing to drive.
