2006 Vintage FPV nitro motor glider

Found some old CD’s from 2006 with FPV footage where I was testing out the Black Widow AV FPV system. This was a good 8 years before FPV became mainstream.

Video playback and recording was on a RCA Lyra from Sharper Image.

This was a small fortune in gear that in less than a decade would be more capable at a fraction of the cost. Interesting to see how far the technology has come. Aircraft is a custom build I call the Florida Condor, 8′ span, .40 Magnum glow motor, Futaba 8UAPS on 72 mhz
