Man, this is almost as good as thereal thing without the "Possum" fear factor. Too bad it costs around the same price as a new Firestar!
High speed internet ONLY. THe rest will have to wait, unfortunatly!

P.S. It is pretty close to the quality of the river run from Possum!

THis one is also no slow internet. It is a luxury we cannot afford, at least very often and in these ways. Still interesting to watch. Sorry. I'm not trying to turn this into a RC video site. Just thought it was pretty amazing.

So how much does it cost - I couldn't find out?
Would be nice to have the camera off my head and
on the wing tip, tail or nose etc. I's pretty light. I think
I could rig the servos - they're pretty strong in some RC's.
I know how it works with the gyros & all.
And don't have a problem flying with the goggles (redone)
anything below my nose is not a problem to watch and
fly at the same time. The screen I've got now sits just
to the right and below my nose. I'll bet I could rig up a
"Heads up Display" easier than you think.

do not archive
Never mind - I got it figured out:
[url=http://www.rc-tech.ch/web/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=18&Itemid 6&lang=fr] http://www.rc-tech.ch/web/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=18&Itemid 6&lang=fr[/url]
Gonna do some cloud pictures if I can get somebody to chase thru the holes
to give the video some perspective. Trikes are the best to chase.
Don't worry - we're not around any GA planes and I pick the clouds after flying around them
or a least over them if they're too big.
It take "two" idgits doing the same thing to run into each other.
Like the river - make sure someone else isn't doing the same thing you
are - coming the opposite way...... It happens. [quote][b]
