New FPV Video! - "The Everglades"
Thursday the 07 of July
It’s finally done! The long awaited FPV video from my visit to Florida, Miami and the Everglades.
It was such a cool place to fly FPV. My favorite flight was probably when I got to chase the airboat.
I knew tigers were big but until you meet one face to face you can’t really imagine how massive and powerful they really are. Luckily this tiger was super well trained and were more like a big cat than a fierce killer.
The alligators really wanted to eat the Tricopter and jumped all over the place. I had to be really careful as not to get video of the digestion system of an alligator when flying around.
If someone told me a couple of years ago that I was going to fly a triangle of wood with a camera strapped to it, filming tigers and alligators, I would have laughed. I’m so glad that I had the luck to get to do this.

Ventus overview
Tuesday the 05 of July
In this episode of Flite Test Josh and I take a look at the Ventus Glider from Hobbyking
After the show I ripped out the landing gear and made a battery hatch underneath the wing. Now it doesn’t need any tail weight. It flies great and I really like it. But it’s a glider and should be flown like a glider. It’s great for hunting thermals and I stayed up for an hour without any trouble on one 1300mAh battery.
