FPV in IRL

<< < (9/28) > >>

Ron:
Hi Keith,
Yes, nice to be back.
Had a hell of a time lately, with various relatives dying and all sorts of illness in the family.
Lots of that involved trips to/from the UK so I feel like a yoyo.
But starting to settle down a bit, with only my wife's cancer to worry about, as if that isn't enough by itself.
But even that is looking good and hopeful now.
Thanks for asking (even if you didn't directly :)  )

Haven't done any flying, apart from passenger on AirSouthWest, for ages.
So now trying to pick up the, errrr, joystick again.

Must say this fpv thing looks interesting.

Happy Days:
Sorry to hear of your problems and illnesses, didn’t know the misses was suffering with the big C. It’s amazing what modern drugs can do, let’s hope for the best.

So you’ve been enjoying the pleasures of the Dash 8 airliners of Airsouthwest have you? My other ‘alf is flying into Plymouth on one in December. (I'll be free for a whole week!)

How is your Booby, :shock:  (if you’ll pardon the expression) Did you ever get around to assembling it?

As for fpv,………I’ve seen some fantastic movies, :D  and some absolute crap ones :( . Not sure it’s as easy as it looks, Ha!

Must say I quite like the Dash 8's.
Son and family live near Falmouth so fly into Newquay.

I didn't ever have a Booby.
It was/is a Slingsby, and it's still in the same state.
Loads of cut out bits in a box. :(

FPV - yes like you say, there are some very good people, and then there's the rest of us.
And the complications of the downward video link, not to mention the expense, do rather put me off.
That aspect is an interest in itself in a way, and it shouldn't bug me as I've still got my Amateur licence EI8GMB, and the UK one G6IWK.

But knowing the way I can crash flight sims, making it a real crash may not be the best idea  :?

Happy Days:
Now this is very interesting Ron. :?: I have a very clear memory of ordering a load of foamies from an Australian manufacturer for guys on this forum and I was sure you were one of them. I remember it so well because I had offered to bring your model down to Cork after it had arrived in IRL from OZ. (That's why I thought you had a Booby.)
Strange how the mind plays tricks sometimes isn’t it.

Incidentally I had an couple of Ham licences as well.(EI6JQ and G0CGB) But I’ve let them both laps. :roll:
