№1 Over Ostankino Tower : Personal altitude record

by kirikset | May 5, 2013 | (6) Posted in Challenges

Setting my personal FPV record on my trusty odl Hobbyking X666 with a DJI Naza controller.

Almost 1/2 a mile! 750 meters+ and hovering and doing rolls above the Ostankino tower in Moscow on VDNKh.
As of May 2013 it is the tallest freestanding structure in Europe and 6th in the world.
I've seen similar videos, but nobody seems to have done it in Moscow over this tower, so I presume it makes me the world first FPV pilot to fly above the Ostankino tower)

Rather unlucky that I forgot my Moon gel, so quite a bit of jello(

Thanks for sharing. Very nice video I would never take mine that high in fear of something messing up

True) I've had more than 40 hours without any glitches on this airframe and more than 100 perfect automatic return to home in urban environment. The weather was fine and that's why I attempted this flight. I also chose to fly above a lake in order to have my quad crash there in case I started freaking out.
