[AlaskaRC] Fw: Future RC

[Gary]

Hi Everyone,

Not sure if you saw the notice for the AMA webinar  for beginner FPV --- here's a link to register if interested. (first 1000 only)
https://amamodelaircraft.clickwebinar.com/fpv/register

Also, if you fly FPV at an AMA site you need to be aware of the rules (AMA documents 550,560,& 570) found in this report:

David, I like the title you picked - Future RC
It's amazing how far things have advanced in the last few years...

Be Safe, Have Fun,
Gary

Also have the Flamewheel F450, without any video/camera gear. Its effective video range seems to be a bit less than a mile, dependent on altitude and attitude. Effective RC range is likely much much greater. It’s carrying the DJI last-gen flight control unit, which has a pretty reliable return to launch feature, which I can trigger with a switch on the Tx, or will automatically engage upon loss of signal from the Tx.
