RC camera flight - No Risk, No Fun


Not quite a Wingsuit with a Gopro...but a little less risky and expensive ;-)

fun to watch. curious about what camera and plane he used. I have had a couple rc planes that were really simple. One was pretty durable and lasted about 3 months. The other flew way better and lasted 3 days. They were fun to fly though.

The guy has to be rather confident in his abilities for some of the places he flew. Was thinking about the out takes when he splashed down, then splashed in and then showed the damage.:D
Good find, thanks.

I was always wondering how he landed but I guess he always just caught it. Seems to be heavy Gs on the plane.

That looks to be a powered glider German version of an Easy Star or Dynam Hawk Sky. It is easy to learn to fly but that guy has some skills.

Here is a first person flying setup using a similar plane. In the description on youtube he lists all the components.
