    I've more or less settled on the Tarot 650 for the 'big' one, at this point I am planning to get two, one smallish one for experiemting, and then the bigger one for heavy lift.

    I'm actually looking to do a quad build as well. I've got a Nano QX and a Taranis plus transmitter I've been practicing with, and a Super-X brushless on the way, but want to do a 250 racing quad based on the Blackout. I've got a spreadsheet going of what I need to pick up still.

    FYI, if you're serious about doing an FPV build Simon, you're going to need to get your technicians (ham) license to do 5.8Ghz video. I've been passing the hamstudy.org practice tests, just need to bump up my rating to about 85% and take the test for real.

    Just don't have the same issue as this person did dropping a $50,000 octocopter rig down a 400ft deep canyon-- into a stagnant dirty pond.

    Curt I'd love to get in on this with you. I have been waiting on the FAA to pass the directive before I took the plunge. Which they pretty much did now.
    While I am waiting. I been working on raspberry pi controller stuff lately.

    It's a FPV racing quad. They can go quite fast!

    This is the little 125 I built recently. I'm going to be retrofitting FPV gear onto it soon.

    That video is absolutely amazing.
    So lemme get this straight. With the right transmitter, these things can broadcast live feed to a pc/tablet with an interface like the Occulus?
    I might have to dig my electronics textbooks out...
