Finally purchased my first FPV gear.

Purchased from SierraRC.com, Pete (store owner) gave me the best customer support I have ever had. He will test my gear to make sure it is working fully before he ships it!

Here's a list. I'm getting a SAW upgraded Rx:

Cool. All you need now is a cheap dvr, and you can share your experience. What are you going to use for a monitor?

Make airspace people! Andre's no longer watching his plane!

Congrats Dude! Wondered where you'd wandered off to -- working harder to pay the FPV bill apparently ;)

Looking forward to the footage/stories!

Not the lowest price - but I decided to order from a US supplier in order to get the service and testing that you don't get from chinese vendors. I highly recommend SierraRC.com - excellent service, and IBCrazy himself recommended it to me.

And I get your feeling on "wish I had the dough", I've felt like that for a year and a half! :D

Congrats! :D

Thanks!

Someone once said. "It's good to be the King." I think it was Mel Brooks.

I know it must be true, because he says it every time I watch that movie.

I'm looking around for a suitable case for the FPV gear. I'm open to suggestions. I don't like the tripod groundstations because I don't have a car and need to be able to get around in a bus with my gear.

It gets better Dan, I've rebuilt it, with improvements.

I'll have to post the video now...

Looks cool, being able to store the transmitter in it too. My quad won't fit in one though, fixed arms. I have to look around town to see what I find. I'm kind of doubting an aluminum box because of the RF reflectiveness.

Will look into it.
