This flight was recorded before I left Eugene Oregon for Sunny San Diego California! This flight was recorded OVER A SPARSELY POPULATED AREA, after many, many, MANY flights of FPV in this exact location, and with SO much help from several extremely experienced pilots....regardless of their (or my) FPV experience, i dont doubt some pilots will step forward to dislike, threaten to report, or say how i'm destroying the FPV hobby by being reckless and posting the video. The truth is, I LOVE FPV, perhaps as much as you! I love RC, I love to fly, and I LOVE to share unique, cool footage, which is why I made this clip. Honestly, this flight didn't harm a soul... maybe got my heart racing, but it was a harmless, fun and memorable flight. Please, just enjoy, and if you have nothing positive to say, I ask kindly you just move forward with your day! And to those who see this video and think it looks “fun” to attempt something of this nature, i say to you: small steps... ****this kind of flight is not for beginners, or for people who dont have VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING listed below, or those who dont know exactly whats going on in the air above them, or what surrounds the area you are flying over, or are not in contact with extremely experienced pilots who have already attempted a flight of this caliber****** I learned from some of the best pilots of both RC and full-size, and studied my area, and my equipment in great detail before i attempted this ONLY ONE TIME. This video is the result. Cheers, and happy flying to EVERYONE!
