Going closer for FPV

My dream of flying higher into the sky almost closer than ever taking first step closer to reality, being up there watching the land from above from birds eye view is moments to be thrill about.  My first step started yesterday when i decide to push my flying skill higher than what people think was limit.  After weeks of flying a 450 size radio control heli i think it was about time to put all those flying fear aside and set my dream towards the sky higher beyond expectation.  Few days before i have multiple crashes and leardn few rational lesson about flying a heli.  Every crash and fixes is worth doing for the sake of learning and skills building.  A day before yesterday Sunday flight i've made some mods to my MINI DV video cam unit a clone of MD80 video recorder with its case removed and replace with lighter battery for ease to lift the device off the ground, it was strapped to the helicopter skid grip so this will be my first try to see hows my flying will be up in the sky.  In the morning i so some preparation and testing before initial flight on the afternoon.  In the afternoon i made my first high altitude flight at high speed mimic scale heli cruising  in one huge loop around safe flying zone but flying distance limited to my human visual range but i think its best i can do right  now.  I manage to flew 6x rounds, was a bit scary but its worth an adrenaline shots, thrills and excitement of flying.   You can view here some First Person View recorded video onboard my heli as i control from the ground here posted in youtube.  At the end of the day it was an awesome Sunday ever, put a big smile as i get back home, now pondering what's up next for this coming weekend.
