I'm an old dude I've never been looked down on when I was a younger flyer. I don't care to hang out with most seasoned flyers. They're snooty, know it alls full of their own superiority, too engrossed with the hobby to know anything about life except rc flying. I don't really care what you've stuffed your plane with.... I didn't ask you nor did I ask for tips and tricks. I can get all that and more for the asking on forums. As such I prefer to fly alone.

I thought to myself, “I remember there was something important about powering on the vtx but I can’t remember exactly what. Let’s go back to the videos before I make a mistake”. 😅 I was good. These videos still help years after 👍

Glad you guys released a roughly current video; I've always been into model aviation and have been courting the FPV idea since before it was technologically viable, but I've been fairly uninvolved the last few years (flying real ones instead) I'm not totally clear on how the bans worked out. Everyone seems fairly optimistic, which is encouraging, but as I understood goggle based FPV was blanket banned in the states. Was that not ultimately the case? I'd certainly rather fly that way. IIRC, the law was register >0.55 lbs, Line of Sight only, 400 ft ceiling. Given that, are unregistered,

Hey Flight Test Happy New Year 2021 I hope you guys make an updated fpv episode and show how it connects into a RC plane. Going through it all, I understand how it works but cause we don't have a hobby shop local. I have no idea how it actually connects or what connectors I would need to buy. As everything is online! I don't want to have to buy things just to solder and change around wires. Buying this circuit board or that guessing as I go cause store pages just show parts not what goes with it. The industry is getting better but there is still a lot of guess work in making your own craft.
