When I first started with fpv I never had any intention of being that good at line of sight but since have video problems I've started to really enjoy LOS! I find having an odd colour prop can help with orientation. I have two the same colour on the back and what ever on the front. Great video, thanks guys!

[sirBumpyCase]

I can confirm as a beginner that yes, LOS is difficult

[Jokerman]

This video is the reason I got better at flying line of sight. Thanks Ken! A cool tip for others that helped me is to adjust your radio stick tightness so it isn't as loose. It helped me stay steady by having that bit of resistance on the sticks

[AGLNET]

Pretty Cool control there, Glad to see you're having such a blast with it all... Now you need to come learn fixed wing...

[TheAxeEver]

Yep. That’s how I started too. With a little Hubsan X4. I flew that thing until the board blew out of it. It was the hard way to learn but I feel I’m a better pilot for it. Now flying FPV seems like child’s play.

I just started flying FPV about two weeks ago and I am addicted i don’t know why I waited so long I guess it is harder flying line of sight then with goggles holy shit I didn’t think it would be I now have 3 tiny whoops and they are a blast to fly I’ll be moving up to a 3 inch cinewhoop here soon

[emsman]

Absolutely amazing drone Pilot! Makes flying BEAUTIFUL.

[Jamesmoore-mjke]

I fly every day there's not bad weather, I know you can get very proficient oh yes!!

I found myself flying my AR Drone 2.0 LoS a lot more than FPV. It only had a 50 meter range and the video feed was very choppy. I even ended up putting a bright LED light on it so I'd know which way it was facing. Flew my Phantom 2 LoS for a little while 'til I got the FPV equipment for it. The Course Lock and Home Lock features came in real handy.

I fly los all the time. Everytime I go fpv, I do a test hover/fly out of the goggle for 1 pack. Its fun.

[firemannss]

Well said. I'm part of the our Emergency Management team. We train on LOS flying on a simple Syma X5C. We do different exercises. Buy the TOY!!! We fly squares, forward and back and other things to get the stick control and automatic moves down. It takes time. However, what is a good FPV drone to get started on?

[groupcaptainbonzo]

I started with an F550 Flamewheel. And went the Phantom route. I briefly tried the F.P.V. Quad route. Singh is REALLY good. 😊

[warmfreeze]

the guy that got me into this hobby about 5 months ago hates the fact that i fly so well after only 5 months... but he doesnt know ive been flying RC helis and RC planes for 30 years..

[michaelwblade]

Great video Ken. Looks like a lot of fun. I’m starting my new FPV experience with the tinihawk 2 ready to fly

[dhardjono]

i lost my line of sight, i started line of site than fpv lost all that. i will practice more

[TheEviling]

When i took my license they had us do LOS too, before we could use the screen. They also had us judge the distance to the drone, just so we would get a feel for it. You gotta be able to get the drone back if the video link cuts out. Singh being able to fly LOS with gloves on is kinda amazing :)

[Batwingfpv]

I like that one pack per session! I’ve barely done it.

[RGMGFitness]

Pretty good Ken. Yeah, LOS is so much tougher..I tried to LOS on my 1st FPV flight...BIG MISTAKE! LOL

[NHILLproductions]

I’m in MD also, not too far from Hagerstown. Where are you flying in Hagerstown.

[Reecefpv]

Gotta check out quadmover his Los is ridiculous. And I started Los for some reason. Thought it would be easier but did help get used to controls before fpv flight
