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. </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;">Be happy to demo and/or turn the controls over to David for a trial, but am not due back in AK until May.</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;">Doug</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in;"><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";"> Mister Ed [mailto:mr.ed@alaska.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, March 13, 2014 4:28 PM<br><b>To:</b> ARCS mailing list<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [AlaskaRC] Fw: Future RC</span></p></div></div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";"><a href="http://youtu.be/8N36Pt00f_o" target="_blank">http://youtu.be/8N36Pt00f_o</a></span><BR><p style=""><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";">Pat Martn?
