Nice, I've been contemplating the same thing. Did you have any video signal loss??

Cool footage. How did you work out the spotter on this? Been having a hell of a time working out the line of site spotter and two vehicles at any kind of speed.

also, you could have two people driving in a car behind the lead chase car. One to drive and one to spot

I tried this line of sight with my FT Adventurer-type plane while my friend and I were sitting in the back of my dad's ute. We did it on a really quiet road farm road to make sure it was safe. I crashed like three times! I even crashed into a tree! It was a lot of fun though and the repairs were very minor :)
