I'm an "old" new member who spent his working life as a fighter pilot and flying instructor in the Royal Australian Air Force. Having retired, I turned my intrests to running air shows, searching for realism in Flight Simulator (FSX) and more recently in model aircraft ,particularly FPV.
However, I well understand the needs of real aviation and am religious in sticking to the FPV rules (line-of-sight, below 400', with an observer, etc) for safeties sake. Therefore I confine my FPV to 5.8Ghz,and park flying. The models I currently fly are the Durafly Tundra and the Parkzone Sport Cub S; both of which allow me to take-off and land on fairly rough ground and can easily be fitted with a camera, OSD and video TX. Examples of my FSX and FPV video are on view at: /www.youtube.com/channel/UCHeZvWAsCgVRtibcMwNdWGw.
I have just upgraded my RC controller to a Spektrum DX9 and became aware of this site by searching YouTube for advice on setting up that TX.
I look forward to interacting with other members on matters of aviation and aero modelling.
Cheers, Roger Lowery
