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="color:rgb(31,73,125);font-family:Calibri, 'sans-serif';font-size:11pt;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125);font-family:Calibri, 'sans-serif';font-size:11pt;">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="color:rgb(31,73,125);font-family:Calibri, 'sans-serif';font-size:11pt;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125);font-family:Calibri, 'sans-serif';font-size:11pt;">Doug</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125);font-family:Calibri, 'sans-serif';font-size:11pt;"> </span></p><div><div style="border-width:1pt medium medium;border-style:solid none none;padding:3pt 0in 0in;"><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:Tahoma, 'sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">From:</span></b><span style="font-family:Tahoma, 'sans-serif';font-size:10pt;"> 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-family:Helvetica, 'sans-serif';font-size:9pt;"><a href="http://youtu.be/8N36Pt00f_o">http://youtu.be/8N36Pt00f_o</a></span><br /><p><span style="font-family:Helvetica, 'sans-serif';font-size:9pt;">Pat Martn?
