    Local News Article on FPV

    I needed a haircut, which I've since gotten but you get the drift:

    Very good article, for the most part. I got the feeling the reporter didn't quite understand the technology, since at one point she inserted a word making it say FPVers have cameras on their heads rather than their planes. Not very deep, but at least a more or less balanced analysis.

    One question: why does the photo in the article make it look like your propeller only has one blade?

    Cool article Scottu, I like how those articles can somehow introduce FPV to the general public on a more subtle way. (regarding that near plane hit article from a few weeks ago).

    Oh and don't get me wrong, but your picture on the article seems like that you're the morph of macgyver and jim carrey

    Awesome article, Scott! I'm glad you were willing to work with the reporter. I believe you helped present FPV in a positive light. And judging by peoples reactions regarding FPV, we need all the positive press we can get!
