Anyone do FPV thats located in vancouver? Im just getting into fpv, right now Ive order all the stuff i need for a basic fpv setup. I was just hoping to do a little newbie fpving with an experienced fpver and maybe take a look at your setup and see how you have your wiring done.

I'm in the same boat as you, let meet and fly / exchange info. PM me.
My plane is almost done, I've tested and so far getting video signal, just awaiting a few more parts at the boarder.

Im using a Sunsky 1.2ghz 800mw, its really popular over on rcgroups. I did a ground test and went to 1.5km, you can see what its like at that point, it should be more clear in the sky as theres no trees and cars to get in the way.

I also live in the lower mainland but out in Mission. I have a plane that I can kind of fly FPV but that is if I can see the laptop screen. I have the most cheapest and basic setup but hopefully will replace parts with higher quality products when I can. I dont belong to a club but I would love to come to any sort of FPV meet. If anybody is going to organize one you should let me know.
