    Near Mid-Air Collision FPV Syle

    realtvnow and traderdmb flying at his place. We're about half a mile away from our GS, and I was filming him doing some maneuvers when I hear him say, "OK, I'm coming up on you", then I see his plane go screaming by. WOW! And, it wasn't until afterwards - when reviewing the video - that we noticed just how close it was.

    If you want to skip to the near mid-air collision jump to 3:50 in the video

    Thanks for Watching!

    How large is that area with the cows? If a plane went down - can you walk over to get it? Finally - what is the freq that your friend is on? I can't wait to get up there and fly with you all.

    The field is about 3/4 mile East to West, and from take off point to the furthest part of the field is over a mile. No problems with retrieving downed airplanes, just have to look out for Mad Cows

    Sircana,
    That was not even close to a near miss
    Hope the other plane was alright.
