Vietnam
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
So, I’ve just came back home from a few nice weeks in Vietnam. Unfortunately, even as I brought (alot of) my FPV drones and gear, there was pretty much ZERO time(or places when I had time) to get up in the air. So I’m sorry to say I only had one flight with the Chimera7, and that was it for the entire trip.. I was hoping to maybe put together a “Vietnam Special” for you, but thats not going to happen this time. I’ll see if I just make a flight video on YouTube, or if I just decide to make some SHORTS/REELS of it. Its a bit of a bummer that I did’nt get to fly more, but non the less I had a good time in Asia. The food, the people and the scenery is awesome, not to mention it was +30’c instead of -30’c (no joke) as it was back home in Norway! haha
Back home and looking forward I have a few plans of expanding the FPV projects I’m doing, but we have to see what time, inspiration and money I find. Because remember, just like you, I also have a ragular day job and family, so time is often as at strech here aswell ;P but fingers crossed, and I’ll update you when I know!
2023 LETS GO!
PS: If you travel to Vietnam as a FPV pilot, be aware that SOME airports are super strict with batteries. I got alot of mine confiscated at Cần Thơ AIRPORT going to Phú Quốc with Bamboo Airlines!
I was only able to bring the TOTAL of 4 batteries, regardless of size. (I chose one li-ion for the goggles, one li-ion for long range, and two lipos, I BARELY got the gopros batteries outside this count, only if
I had them INSIDE the camera, my spares got confiscated!). But, I think this is mostly a thing for the smaller airports, maybethey are not too used to our mean looking FPV batteries and why we have so many of them, I dont know.
All of the bigger airports I’ve been to didnt even care to look at them (Ho Chi Minh/ Saigon airport etc).
THE GOOD THING, since we were coing back to that airport at a later stage, they gave me the option to store the batteries there for a small fee untill we returned, so I got it all back once we landed there again! :)
(thats not to mention I actually forgot it when landed, so after travelling for 1 hour, we had to turn around, go back there and pick it up, haha, so that took 3 hours, not one! xD)
