Alternate usages of FPV gear: The Tennis ball resuce
Sophie's ball went down a hole this morning... literally on the first throw, after attempting to look and feel around, we came up with the idea of dropping a camera down there to help us.
This is the ending of Perfect Dark on the N64. A brilliant game, let down slightly by a stupid alien called Elvis.

Today I'm checking out this Drone backpack from Torvol. It's built around the Phantom design, but it's highly reconfigurable. Can I fit my massive old Naza based quad inside ?
I really liked this backpack. Even though the fit of my quad distributes the weight incorrectly (compared to a Phantom) the fact I walked for over 10km and only my feet got sore means it's a well built and designed backpack. Check it out at https://torvol.com/product/drone-adventure-backpack Torvol also do some racing-style drone backpacks and a few others. I've yet to try them out, but they do look exciting.
I must apologise for the state of my hair in the final part of the video. That's the result of my sweaty head in a baseball cap whilst walking for 3 hours !
Clarification of the little covers I mentioned at around 4m 18s of the video. They are covers for your motors to protect them from any dust and dirt while you are carrying it around in the backpack.

I like to have a look at everything that went wrong at the end of the year - as it turns out though there wasn't that much this year... at least no that much that didn't look too samey. Finding places to fly without upsetting regular people seems more and more of a challenge - but we will endeavor to find places into 2020.
Note to self: Give up power looping between those trees, it's not working out well for you :)

In high winds on Sunday, we were stupid/desperate enough to go out and fly anyway. IT was quite exhilarating, but quite scary as well. It was nice that all the planes handled the conditions, but we all had to be quite conservative in how/where we flew.
It also made for pretty crappy video as everything was jiggling around, so here's just a bit of flight cam footage showing my accidental speed record of 124kph, along with my best effort at a landing.
Despite all the wind and conditions, we all flew planes and multi's and didn't have a single crash
