Lidl RC Build 14 - FPV Plane gets a FINAL TEST FLIGHT - A BIG learning experience

[Bonzodog]

A hairy final test for my no.14 Lidl foamie build which I was hoping might be my first RC plane FPV craft. I've flown drones FPV but they have RTH, return to home, so if you lose the plot you don't lose the aircraft! Is this plan a goer? Test flight and my conclusions are here.

Cant see why a bit of sanity or caution wouldn't keep you close by.

If you lose orientation when flying with goggles I can imagine even with caution and a little sanity you could still lose sight of a model and have no idea even which direction in may have gone. Hence the recommendation and need for a spotter! (Or GPS RTH.)
