Octocopter chasing an airplane

In this video i've done a fast chase to an RC airplane (Radian). Its wingspan is bigger than 2m.

It was all done via FPV using Fatshark goggles.

I've also done some fast low pass. It was filmed with the onboard GoPro and from the ground. I couldn't measure it, but comparing to the moving car, i thing i'd be at least at 80km/h (50mph).

This time I had a chance to test my homemade antennas: CloverLeaf and SkewPlanar Wheel. I was shocked how my range and video quality improved! My FPV video started to fail at least at double the distance, when compared to the stock antennas! Can't wait to do a Helical

My video RX antenna was stayng on the ground, so the range will be even greater when I put it on a tripod! I'll test the range in the future.
