Well done Tony, no looking back now.
Before you know it you will be 6 inches off the ground, going through and under stuff like the rest of us.
When I try to explain what FPV is like to people I say it's the only adrenaline sport you can do without putting your body on the line.
You can see now why the rest of us are so addicted. :D

Thanks Stambo, it's all down to the encouragement off you guys really why I've took the final plunge and just went for it... If the weather holds I'll be out first light in the morning for more... I'll just keep it slowish for now but yeah I'm sure I'll be flying around like you guys soon enough...

out this morning, this is one of the flights, had a bad landing but shes OK... on a flight after this i hit the deck pretty hard and bust a prop... no big deal, but it was one of the orange 4 than Dan gave me... these have a much better "Lift" than the ones ive got on now to replace them... never mind she still goes good, just needs a bit more throttle.. did nearly lose control a couple of times too, but keep practicing... :D :D

Real good, Tony! I sure do like that open space that you have. It's pretty cool to see your scenery when you are up higher. Great job buddy!

Good going Tony.
The more batteries you put through it the better you will get.
Won't be too much longer until you are ready for Acro.
That will get rid of a lot more of the oscillations.
Mine has never been smooth in Angle or Horizon modes and I have never bothered to tune any further those modes as I only fly Acro.
