Videos 7yo Jacob Flying FPV

[Stambo]

Woohoo, I am so proud.
Jacob is not quite 8 years old and he flies FPV like this on his first proper go at it.
I have some future competition and a flying buddy.

That was fantastic. Especially for his first go at it. A few more flights like that and he will be ready for a 250! Great job Jacob!

 

[Derek]

That's really really good! Well done, Jacob! Stambo...you've gotta be happy with that! Too cool!!!

 

[D.O.G.]

Too cool Stambo/Jacob. Like father like son.

 

[Admiral]

That was really a great effort, there is an up and coming FPV racer there.

Weather forecast looking good for flying this weekend, hopefully I can upload some more vids of Jacob flying FPV.
I have set up a little course for him and if (when) he does well I will follow him and hopefully get some chase footage.

What to do when it's too windy to fly.
At least he got some more goggle time.

The weather finally cooperated enough for Jacob to have another go.
Maybe it's just the proud dad in me but I think he did pretty well.
I think he is about ready for the 250.

Jacob is coming along great, yes the 250 next followed by the 500. LOL

 

[Tony]

Little man is getting good. But no matter where you move your truck, it seems that he will find it lol.

I finished setting up a 250 for Jacob with my old 3s stuff last night based on one of those coloured plastic Hobbyking frames.
I have set it up really tame for him, self level only, maximum tilt is 30deg and fairly low rates, test flown and working well.
I initially had it set up to buddy box but the way he is flying I don't think he needs it.
I have a spare frame, if he breaks it we can fix it.
Video will come after the weekend if the weather cooperates.

great flying Jacob he probably crashes less then tony I bet lol

 

[EyeStation]

Lucky son and a proud dad, for sure. Sounds like a future DRL champion in the making.

 

[D.O.G.]

Like father, like son. Awesome job Jacob. When are you going to hand over the truck keys Stambo, that's next, lol

 

[Stambo]

The weather cooperated nicely on the weekend and Jacob got his first flights of a 250 class miniquad.
I have to say he did extremely well.
It won't be too long before I have some competition, and I am looking forward to it.
This was shot over 2 days, he was not keen on a second pack either day so I am assuming that this may have been mentally quite tough on his young brain.
This video is a bit long but the difference in confidence with only 2 packs is amazing and I could not bear to cut any more out.

That little dude is doing fantastic! Give him some time and you will need to purchase extra batteries just for him. Oh, as well as his own racing quad lol.

 

[Stambo]

Jacobs third battery with his 250 quad.
I gave him a better camera, he loved that it has his name in it.
Unscheduled landing at the end but it all helps the learning process.
No damage done, all ready for the next one.
