Nice video.

Why would RC be banned in Death Valley, I wonder.  Seems to me like the perfect place for it.,wide open, and and great lines of sight, and beautiful country.

No idea. FPV is banned in a few National Parks. Interestingly, we only got into trouble in the ones where it isn't banned.

Awesome video! Hey are you guys using a GOPRO for the video camera? It is hard to tell. Also what frequency is your video transmitter and how powerful is it? Thanks guys!

Thanks. We're using a 500mW 2.4GHz video transmitter that you can buy in most US FPV shops. The camera on the plane is a GoPro 2, the camera on the ground is a 550 from Canon.

Is your RC aircraft controlled via 2.4GHz as well?

No R/C runs on the 70cm HAM band (433) using EzUHF.

Thanks for clearing that up.  So what's next?

The Vegas Strip?

Boulder dam?

Grand Canyon?

Monument Valley?

Mesa Verde?

Carlsbad Cavern?  Underground UAV flying - cool!

Some of these might just have been flown ... :)
