3rd person FPV - Flying your plane from a chase planes perspective !
I've been trying to come up with a decent title on this one, and it just has to be explained. Concept is pretty simple two planes fly FPV, with the second getting the lead plane in view. The lead guy then switches to the feed of the chase plane and flies his plane from the chase planes point of view... simple ?
We would have played around with this for a while, but as you hear me say about 10 or 15 times, the rain is coming down which makes me worry about the amount of exposed electronics.
It did work out brilliantly though, an impromptu landing as krikey literally went mad on adrenaline, and helpfully it was pretty calm which made it easy for me to keep his plane in view all of the time. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zy4X7RXaaY
The best Micro quad I've flown so far, so agile and nippy. I really love this one !

Hey US friends, note the correct spelling of 'Colour' ;)
I realised I hadn't put up a flying video in a while - I'm still getting out whenever I can, but I figured it might be a bit boring watching the same field go past on my 250.
But I noticed flying at my new site that when the light is right it lights up the mud/silt/rotting seaweed and can make it look pleasant and almost Mediterranean . Look at it from the ground and it's a stinky brown horrible looking thing. Another reason why FPV is better.
These were from 4 or 5 flights over several weekends using my flyingwings.co.uk Falcon (not the EVO), it's *always* windy there on the coast, so excuse the wobbles. Filmed with my 808 #16 which is a bit long-in-the-tooth, but I already made the cut out for it, so there you go :)

In my first try of a boat, I seemed to have got a bit of a slow one, but this is a jet-based one (albeit a water jet) so it must be faster right? Well, let's take it out to the lake and find out!

I've been putting this off, until I had a radio that supported a failsafe (swapped 9X rx over to FrSky), and I wanted to be able to actually make sure I could switch between modes properly (er9x now installed). So I could put this off no longer.
Of course, I *needed* to do this just to ensure that it would work if I ever needed it for real, and despite seeing two other people do it right in front of me before - it's really unnerving to turn you radio off, but it down and hope you're very expensive toy comes home.
I feel confident about it now at least, but it's just too stressful for me to use this feature for "fun"

This is the Etna Heroine ending from Disgaea on the PS2.
Etna's ending is triggered by killing off more than 100 allies by the time you meet Maderas in episode 5. Again, you're given the choice to kill him and in doing so, Etna goes... well, you'll see.

If you want to know how to display the telemetry based RSSI in your OSD, then take a look at this blog entry I made http://www.currykitten.co.uk/getting-the-rssi-value-to-show-in-your-betaflights-osd-frsky-based/

Today we're looking at a kit from Seeed with the previously reviewed WIO terminal along with a whole bunch of sensors including a AI-powered camera that should be able to identify things you train it to!
You can find the sensor kit here https://www.seeedstudio.com/Seeed-Studio-LoRaWAN-Dev-Kit-p-5370.html which is also a great jumping off point to look at all the documentation, programming examples and tutorials Seeed provide.
