Even though it was way too windy for the Kinetic, I just had to try the new installed FPV equipment. I didn't come up with a good solution on how to mount the VTx, so I just used an old servo box, it also gives some protection but it's very ugly.
The winds was steady around 5-6 m/s and up to 9 m/s in the gusts. The heavy loaded Kinetic was sometimes thrown around, but it went out ok in the end. I had to have WOT in the start and during flight I never had it below 75%. I learned many lessons today:
- always have a spotter (I lost it a couple of times)
- always check your gear before leaving for the field (forgot the battery hatch)
- make sure your goggles don't let any light in, it's very hard to see
