    I've read about the Hubsan, seems highly regarded. Did you get goggles and going to try that, or with phone/tablet screen, or just fly line-of-site? Good luck, and enjoy!

    Many thanks. Unless you have the time to instruct differently, I'll just copy/paste my thread onto that other forum. This whole thing is massively exciting. I know all rarely is fully as perceived, but the ESPN competition show convinced me that FPV's certainly worth pursuing.
