      I want to know what took the photo @jockstrap , nice,
      @5Fidy took me on a passenger ride with a spare set of fatsharks, and I was impressed. I have been sneaking looks at the various types and I am leaning towards a sky hero spyder, I'd be interested to know your thoughts and setup
      Cheers

      I thought you got @feral to climb a television tower then flew up to him, and don't worry about the 9 meter rule, that's for everyone else. Then @feral, hung by one arm, and took the picture, luckily he had necked a six before climbing the tower, so he was steady. But the jump onto the tower, so he would not get electrocuted by static, was a bit trickier with the cans on board. . Hanging by one hand would also be tricky because the nitro which had covered his hands from previous refueling operations made them a bit slippery, now this is OK for a member of TNC, but, the nitro on the hands makes it harder for our state representative to fire up a blunt...errrr cigarette, so full marks to NSW Division of TNC, I know I'm proud of you crazy guys, and I'm sure @5Fidy is too. You have done TNC proud.
      Thanks for the info. I'll be looking for a FPV platform. I maybe PM'ing you later, I still need to spend some bucks on the Helis before I embark on FPV
