how do you cope with Sunday afternoons?

Sunday afternoon, just me, the sheep and a 15mph south westerly. [and the missus taking the picture....]
Lucky to be blessed with some of the best slopes in the region right on my doorstep.

Check out my You Tube page. There are several videos with the camera on-board.

I recently built a camera ship. It's a FPV (First Person Video) setup. The video signal is broadcasted back to the ground to a set of goggles I wear. The goggles have a tracking system that follows my head movement so the camera pans and tilts when I move my head. It’s like you’re in the plane. It also has a GPS with an autopilot. It gives me all the critical flight information I need like:
Altitude, Distance from home, Flight time, Battery voltage, Current usage, Rate of climb or decent & Angle of attack. By far the coolest feature is the ability to autonomously fly to waypoints or return to home if the transmitter signal is lost. In other words it can fly itself.
