FPV Icon A5 Seaplane

Eeek, this has got to be my first posting in decades here on Blogger! Anywho, I needed to upload some pictures of my FPV (first person view) seaplane for use on another website...so this blog gets to be the host! But since you're here: This plane is powered by a single lithium-polymer 3-cell 12.6vdc battery, is equipped with a 2.4gHz receiver, a 1.3gHz video transmitter, a 10Hz GPS, an onboard data-logger and On-Screen Display (known as an OSD, or HUD). It's range is yet to be determined, but at this point it has traveled out to approx. 1/2-mile and approx 2000'ASL without exploding into a million pieces. That is all for now. Cheers, Danny
