If so I so want one!

I`m sceptic but facinated at the same time :)
I understand why they didnt fly closer, becouse the transmitter update the MK every two seconds and if we breake it down mathematicaly the Mk can fly up to 80km per hour and that makes it fly 22 metres pr second. 44 metres pr two second flight would make the flight akward and not as smooth as it should be.
Get faster updating from the transmitter and i would definetly buy the ingredients to “FollowMe”

Wed, 22 Jun 2011 01:20:00 +0000 http://fstoppers.com/?p=9553#comment-22360 I’m very curious of two things, where was this taken? Because I’d like to try wakeboarding in that fashion.

Also, can you change the following distance? But for right now, I’d like to use at a local autox meet that we have once a month at War Memorial stadium. http://www.arscca.org.

Saw one of these choppers during a (wake) event in my home town, but it broke down after 10 mins. Also, the images are just flat… To get more impressive results than just a GoPro on a helmet, we just ride dual lines and have a GoPro mounted on a ski-pole…

Cool video! Not as polished as it could be, but it’s a good idea and a start.
