Hi guys!
I never tried to pilot in FPV! Anyone can explain me what great difficulties are there? (take-off? landing?) how did you begin? Low hoverig is much harder to do? When you fly in FPV you watch the monitor (glasses) until you see yourself and try then to land watching the heli?
someone can explain me something?
thanks!

I'm working on mine. It's all setup and ready but I haven't tried FPV, I just let others watch using the video glasses. Still working out all the little details. My first try will be with a buddy box connectected with a skilled pilot ready to take over.
Mine is on a 700 size electric. I have also added a Helicommnad to make stabilization a cinch (hopefully) during FPV.

Went to test my 700E today with all the FPV setup with a recorder instead of the glasses to see how well the camera view looked. On spool up in was steady as a rock instill the skids cleared the ground then a rolling vibration set in, comes and goes at about 2 sec interval. And it's not just a slight vib, but enough to shack the whole heli pretty hard.
Never had this before so removed all FPV stuff and it still was present. So it's back on the bench for a full teardown and inspection.
