Plan to add a mini cam with a WiFi radio for FPV and recorded video. Some people are flying these at around 6 km away using FPV. I was thinking of adding an airsoft gun  :D

I'd love to be around when you fly it...especially if you fly it out of view!

I forget exactly where I read it, so I can't source this info (so this info is worth hot air), but I read somewhere that the FAA gets pissy if you fly an RC aircraft out of view without a certificated pilot......

I just got a couple of Safariland Comp II speed loaders for my 686, an Apex Tactical RAM for the M&P9, some Froglube solvent, and an Allen Co. range bag that came with 2 gun rugs.

Bruddah ren, like hnl.flyboy said, above, I'd like to check out your chopper and gear next time you fly it.

What are the start-up costs like for this kind of project?

I'm sure there are other great FPV videos done, but I really dig this cat's editing, music, and flying skill:



Never going to be able to pilot an actual aircraft, so I guess this is the closest I'll ever get...

I bought the TREX 500 used off Ebay. It was about $325 shipped ARF I just added my receiver. I had a wireless mini cam and using my netbook with VLC (freeware) as my monitor and DVR. LiPo batts are cheaper now and I used a solar charger and lead acid batt to my lipo charger to save $ and lessen my carbon footprint  O0
For long range I will need a UHF transmitter for up and downlink which = more $$$ and perhaps a HAM operators license. I'll just use what I have and fly in a park. Adding GPS, OSD and return to home etc. will enable me to replicate the Ravens we had but again will mean more money dumped into this project.

Just picked this up the other day. A Glock model 21 .45acp. This is an incredible pistol. I used to have the first generation of this and now I see they made some improvements over that with this Gen.4
