Hi folks....good to drop in. I'm from South Australia, home of lots of redback spiders, brown snakes, hot weather and beautiful clear skies just begging for me to be fying in...usually.
I've been flying RC for erm....about 20 years, always flown nitro, always knocked up my own flying contraptions, was never into kits etc. FPV looks like a really exciting endeavour, one that makes me drool just thinking about it. I've been doing quite a bit of reading, have found all the info about antennas to be really interesting. My goal is to fly into outback bush areas and capture good quality HD video...and otherwise just have fun.
I purchased a low cost epo 5' glider today as I have never had electric before and figured electric would be best for fpv and something basic and easy to fly to start with. I might try high speed nitro down the track just for a blast. I have a Sony CCD camera on the way 600TVL, backlight control etc and a 900MHz 700mW video trans/receiver. See how I go...
Good to be on board....cheers
