Sun, Sea and Long Range Cruise

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : One of the best ways to demonstrate the power of long-range first person view (FPV) mini quads is by flying long distances over water. In these circumstances, failure almost certainly equals loss of quad, and it provides a great test of FPV piloting mettle - the pilot must continue asking themselves, "how far can I go" knowing that every meter/foot further away from home base increases the risk that he/she won't make it back. Keep this in mind as you watch this epic long-range, over-water FPV piece by AirVuz contributor ShinyFPV.

My slowest long range flight. Flying into a head wind with gusts over 20 kph had me flying at about 35 kph to reach an island over 2.5 km from me. But coming back, doing over 80 kph with very little amp draw, so cool lol. Sorry to those that always want DVR, not available on this one. I left my goggles SD card at home. I am really loving the iFlight gear, in that it is performing great and therefore I can trust it. When you trust your gear you gain the confidence to do things you wouldn't normally. For long range flights, particularly over water that is paramount.
