	I’ve got a TBS Discovery fitted with a GoPro, small video camera,
Spektrum 2.4 GHz Rx, and a 5.8 GHz video Tx, which are matched to some
Skyshark goggles. 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. 

	 

	Be happy to demo and/or turn the controls over to David for a trial,
but am not due back in AK until May.

	 

	Doug

	Im thinking of building one. I would need to acquire at least the
following

	 

	A 2.4Ghz 6+ channel radio Tx/Rx

	Flight Controller + GPS

	Electronic Speed Controllers

	Electric Motors & Props

	Soldering Kit

	Circuit Board Camera (FPV)

	5.8Ghz Video Txr/Txr & goggles or small screen display

	 

	Have you heard of people putting UHF modules into their transmitters
and receivers for long range?
