Chill out FPV

Confidence is up a bit now - some nice chilling out, and towards the end, some faster passes :)


I took a quick flight out tonight to get some FPV in - I really enjoy the late evening time; the winds are invariably a lot calmer so there's less turbulence to contend with and frankly, it's a peaceful time of day to be outside.

FPV-wise as you can see, I'm getting a bit more comfortable with flying with the goggles on - my plane was a lot steadier in the camera view and on the ground I wasn't fretting as much about where the plane was (something else which is a by-product of calm winds - the plane tends to go where you actually steer it instead of side-slipping through the air :) )

As I've said previously, the addition of a seat to my flight kit is a huge improvement though - I highly recommend you use one as opposed to standing whilst wearing goggles, it makes concentrating much easier.
