Title: Another RTF FPV model
Post by: sihinch on June 05, 2013, 08:21:39 AM
After the launch of the Hubsan Spyhawk last year, I was surprised that no-one else offered an RTF FPV package.  Until now.....,

Walkera and "the King" have got another offering on the market.

I don't like the look of the Tx though.......And it looks like the $300-$400 price bracket is where the all-in-one packages will be.  What would a DIY modular set-up cost, $600?

What's TEMAC's official policy on FPV at the field?

Same as MAACs!

As I understand it, essentially it boils down to:

1. Must have a spotter
2. Model must remain in line-of-sight view (of the spotter.)
