A flight to Fanette Island's Tea House for a close look using a QAV500 Radio Controlled Helicopter. 4/12/2014 38.95401, -120.10062 About: / roadtripfpv
I never got to see it. I couldn't get myself up to this island, nor down the rocky hiking slop to Vikings Holm. I was always curious about the tea room. THANKS for sharing. I like this song. I feel sad, today. This was a nice surprise.
Wow, yet another excellent video. What a great location for using the quadcopter as you were able to quickly tour the locale very quickly, and get a good sense of the place. You could have done the same by renting or bringing a boat, but that is a hassle, and time-consuming. Thanks for posting.
+Greg Vettel That was a tricky one. I setup and did the first range check flight before anyone was there and suddenly people started to show up in droves after taking off for the second flight. I was lucky to get that one in before it was too late. It was kinda funny how people never saw the copter take off then appear from the lake later on and land on my table. Angry confused expressions.
Pretty good, LOL! big water man and nice beachfront. Very smooth too, still running robbe motors? Sorted a lot of vtx issues today and was tipped to a 2km field I can get too. Now the fun begins,
Ha yeah, I love water... and picnic tables. Man, I had to fly that twice after forgetting to press record on the GoPro! The altitude messed with me too. I'm using 1100 Kv Lumenier motors now... very zippy. The Immersion RC video stuff I switched to a few months ago has been rock solid... I highly recommend!
Good to hear the tip about Immersion, my 1100s are awesome too but I am going to try the 3506's 650kv on 4s when I get one. Also want to try 4s with the naza I have for cam rig. So far so awesome being able to adjust the arms on my quad. Should be a good summer since my back is finally getting better.
Super cool - I'm heading there this summer - great footage of the bay!

Everyday, I miss the forest and the light reflecting upon these frigid sparkling waters edge. That's just the way it is.
Very well done video.
