I've always wanted to try this, and after some prep-work and planning we gave it a try this morning.  No FPV involved.  Very interesting how the two cameras start and finish together, but they go out of sync during the flight.

I realise some people might not like this, but the route was chosen which had lots of green spaces to ditch into, it was 5am on Sunday, we used Spektrum rx/tx that had many hours testing time, and the plane is very lightweight, easy to fly and gyro stabilised.  There was a warm morning, zero wind and perfect visability, we waited months for the conditions to be perfect.  Risky? Maybe.
