At last, I have taken the time to pursue a hobby that has held my interest for many years. I have had so many computer/software flight simulators, but they never captivated my interest. However, my newest interest of "First Person Video" RC airplanes is the thing for me. Simply stated, you fly an RC controlled electric airplane with tons of electronics on board. The electronics has many capabilities, but the most interesting is the ability to transmit video back to a airplane tracking receiver that outputs video to a video monitor. In other words, one can sit on the ground and see what a miniature camera mounted on the nose of the airplane sees. It is like fling a real airplane, but you are safely on the ground.
Below is a small example of a flight taken locally while I am tuning all the controls on the airplane control system. This is a long video, but it shows the capabilities of the electronics. Also for a better viewing experience, be sure to click the "full screen" button on the lower right side of the video screen.
Enjoy, more to come.
