what output power? what RX location? 8km with 2 whips is nearly impossible, are you sure he didn't use a helical on the RX? Also, he usually tries to push range, which is not what we're after unless we do a benchmark flight. When flying low and in imperfect conditions, higher gain RX is where its at.
Yes, we have. I love them. Unfortunately we couldn't find high gain circular polarized antennas for the receiver side. For us 14dbi is the minimum. The SKW and CLs only work out to 2km, which wouldn't be nearly enough for most of our flights.
John, it's something we've planned for quite some time already. To be honest, though, there would need to be a little more than just the satisfaction of pissing off morons around the world :)
absolutely love it :), Kinda wonder what them cows are thinking haha. Even cooler thou, maybe a couple FPV wingmen in formation..... that would be epic.
Kirill, I will say this much ... I could cause a stir in here with a simple click to the "Upload" button for a few weeks in a row :) we've got a couple of pretty cool videos lined up. there's just a few legal things to clear (music copyright, not flying stuff) and we're also scheduling these videos. so first we've got a few "air 2 air" themed videos coming up: 10.5m glider, 3.4m tow plane, 3m jet. after that maybe another "oh my god he flew in a city and dived down buildings"-video :)
I had a wicked ride in a towed Glider with a great pilot we took off in unstable weather and landed with massive down winds. The glider was shaken but not stirred as we got close to clouds, He saved my life and he didn't want to do it again. PS My last glider ride too,
In 10th grade I built a 16' Rogallo Wing from bamboo and 5 mil plastic for a science fair. It gave rides to fellow students all day, until plastic film ripped after too weight two kids got on at the same time... 6 kids towed it by running into slight breeze, I used my old red Radio Flyer wagon to transport it 2 miles to school with help of my best friend. Lots of kids got the Aviation bug that day. Latter in life I planned the all testing for B2 fleet.

Trappy, that's good! I'm looking forward to see your next masterpiece!
