New visitors plus FPV


This weekend was perfect weather for some fall flying. Luckily, we had a couple new visitors fly with us this weekend. Harold Belcher and Brian Sumpter paid our club a visit.

Harold is from Big Stone Gap, VA. Harold, likes building the FliteTest planes and the Experimental Airlines planes. He brought out full sized and scaled down versions of the Experimental Airlines Peace Drone. Harold had even built his large Peace Drone plane with the foldable wing that makes it great for transporting. Good times were had among the group discussing and flying the foamboard constructed models.

Brian is from Greenville TN and is really into FPV. There was lots of discussion on what it took to get into FPV. Brian set up his viewing monitor on a tripod and we got to watch as he used his FatShark goggles to pilot his quadcopter to some amazing heights and distances.

Jack and I invited them to come back and fly with us and encouraged them to join our club.

This is some GoPro footage Brian captured while doing FPV from his TekSumo wing during the visit. Brian has several other videos on YouTube which can be seen at the following link:
