Hey everyone, I found a construction site and decided to toss my dragon up and go explore. I found it from my other flying spot, but I figured I would go get a closer look. It also got me next to the farm I always had to stay a couple hundred feet above so I didn't lose fpv signal.
Also if you all know of a good video editing software that is free or cheap let me know.

Instead of starting a new thread everytime I make a video, I'll just sort it by plane. Here is the latest from the dragon. I went out about 3km, flew out staying about 1km out to about another 3km. I kissed failsafe once toward the end before I turned around, but not enough to make it RTH, so I picked a good time to turn back maybe. Although I probably would have pushed it more if I had more battery. I got to that green nice area and wanted to keep sailing over the sea of oaks and mesquites.
Yes, that god awful noise at the end was my propellers getting a little scraped, but the truck bedliner handles the cement like a champ, way better than the rocks.

I always wondered how other FPV pilots got their videos so smooth. It took stupid me a while to figure out they were using nicer cameras with image stabilization. Turns out also stupid me impulse bought a firefly 6s on ebay for 50 bucks and it has gyro based image stabilization on it. What a difference. Their planes don't fly way better than mine, they just had better cameras.. lol What a difference.

I was wondering are there no gimbaled cameras available they make a big difference on my quads some of the smaller gimbaled cams on the smaller quads should fit and would stay level with the horizon when you bank or maybe you don't want that so you know your aircrafts attitude.

I think I would rather know the attitude of the aircraft, that kind of adds to it, but I also think it would be neat to try one, do you have any recommendations. Maybe not on this plane, but I could see myself doing that on the clouds. |

A storm was blowing in, so I had to put it down early, don't know how well it would do in the rain. Got a cool shot of the storm though.

HD cam ran out of batteries, it was windy out, not much opportunity for good video anyways. I had a couple extra lipo packs, so I just sent it. This thing can be pretty acrobatic for what looks like a cargo plane.
I was wondering why I got a little squirly at the end, but looking back on it, I was going really slow... lol. I think anything else would have stalled.

I went to Sea World the other night with the kids since they have all of the Christmas lights up. I thought it would look cool in the sky, I mistimed the sunset and got in the air a little too early. This was my last pack and I didn't bring my big battery so I only had about 25 minutes of flight time as opposed to my nearly hour long with the biggen.
I do have my gyroflow settings worked out well, so it is looking purdy smooth.
