Bit of a boring flight this morning as i was breaking in my new Onbo 3s 1400mah 45-90c cells. And fair play they are getting a bit more snappy. Dont feel flat on second go like they did on first flight.

Looks awesome Kev.
Nice spot to fly, with the little grandstand for sitting at.
Good place to set up an FPV race.

Looked like a bit of fun was had Kev.
It must be about time you dump the training wheels though. :)
Get out in to a big field, gain a bit of altitude and switch off self level.
Once you have flown a few packs acro you will never go back, your flights and video will flow so much better. :)

Yeah first real FPV this year mate, and I've been playing in horizon with less levelling force so it's closer to acro, but need a bit of practice first, :D

Well Derek has seen this on YouTube before I got to put it up here.

Would have recorded this on the Runcam but it was flat, lol

Done my first flips and rolls done in horizon though so I had the safety net and to see if my mind was going to co operate,

Exciting huh. :)
Wait until you do your first ones in acro and have to level it yourself.
That can be really scary but certainly gets the blood pumping.
I have just been playing with air mode and no motor stop, I have finally been able to do some of those floaty manoeuvres that you see the good guys doing. I will have to upload some vids again soon. :)

Here's my maiden fpv outside of the Gravity 280 and chaps I had a blast. Well and bent a prop on the first crash but flew until I thought that it would be better if I straightened it
