31 This is my first HD footage of me flying FPV on the Vortex. For anyone who hasn't seen my other posts, I've got about 3 months of experience if you combine the time I've been flying in simulators and just over a month in the air in real practice. So that is why it's not exactly smooth.
I forgot to bring my 8mm nut driver with me to the park so I decided to fly "safe" (which meant not crash and need to replace any props). So since I was mostly way up in the air I figured I'd play around and do some Acro moves and fly over the really tall trees.

74 Really nice Carl! Some daring moves there. That looks like a great spot to learn - I'm jealous! Keep it up!

I sort of got gutsy near the trees... I know darn good and well what could have gone wrong in those 50+ foot high trees. but I started to think "maybe I can make this flying spot more interesting if I go over there"

I am still putting as much time as I can make myself put into flying on the computer. It truly helps and doesn't require battery charging time (even my goggles are plug in now)... My favorite part of this hobby is how much it's made me hungry to learn and how much there has been to consume lessons

somehow camera angle makes it tough for me to judge the last 4 or 5 feet from the ground so sometimes I disarm way too soon... I really need to fix my modes so that I can turn off air mode without changing anything else then I'll be better at landing.
On a side note, youtube flagged me for copyright (for the song) so video can't be viewed in China now and may have ads everywhere else :p
