My view is that FPV will be the 'next big thing' in RC flying.  It may not be your thing, but I see no reason to be concerned about the principle of the thing. I'd be interested to know what is available to UK based flyers, especially from those with first hand knowledge.  I would say that 'head tracking' from the pilots head movements to camera movements are necessary to be able to fly properly.  The ability to have that along with an On Screen Display seems to me that we half way to the full cockpit! stu k

As petrol engines have a pumped carb, the space immediately behind F1 can be utliised for an additional silencer, with the tank located on the CG. I have a Z38 / Hannibal which uses a Camping Gaz cylinder as a silencer. Its all home made with copper pipe fittings, silver soldered. Cost nothing. The engine noise from this model is drowned out completely if anything else is flying! For me, the principle advantage is the clean running / non destructive fuel residue on paint and wood. You won't be disappointed with the Z26 Stu k
