I just got a new Aiptek 1080p cam though I am disappointed that it doesn't record static for FPV purposes, however it still is a descent camera! Here is a video I did flying my Genius today at 720p@60fps so I could do some slow motion footage.

A fellow FPVer gave me a used stryker airframe, so now I have a new project to work on! I also got a new HD Aiptek to use a ground DVR however it stops recording on static... but I am still going to make use of it

Well today I managed to push it to 4km ground distance! My last record was 3km, and I had video cut out at that point, so this flight I decided to go out on an angle to make sure my antenna had the best LOS, and managed 4km! I think I could of pushed it to 5km perhaps however my Hornet OSD decided to reset at the 4km mark so I did not want to push it without seeing the numbers, though I was happy to find that even though the OSD reset the home location visually, the FY31AP still recognised the proper home location, so RTH still worked flawlessly. On that note I encourage anyone whom owns the Hornet OSD to contact Feiyutech and bug them to fix the reset bug when using an SD card to log telemetry!
Also today marked the first flight I had where I managed to hold on to a thermal! I didn't stick with it for that long, but I managed to cover 50m climb unpowered in just 3 circles inside of the thermal!

I reverse engineered the log files from my Hornet OSD so I could convert to KML, I have a first draft available, please try it out and let me know what you think, at this moment it just gives coordinates and altitude, but I am going to make this fully featured. For more details check out my main thread at:
