FPV enabled turbine sport jet. First test flight

Post by dominicm »

First test flight of my FPV enabled turbine sport jet. Without really trying got up to 237mph and 1200ft. Speed and altitude telemetry displayed in the video. Learnt a lot and a few improvements to be made on our next outing. Have included a short look at the GPS data in Google Earth at the end.

:O :D Thanks, Dominic! An unusual, novel, but nicely edge-of-the-seat (Ejector Seat?) way of travelling on a lovely day. :clap: :thumbup:

Dominic, that's as close as I will ever get to piloting my own jet. What a ride!

Me too. I don't like flying so this is adequate compensation. Got this on a new jet and hoping to get over 300mph.
