Dodging Bullets & Diving Mountains : FalconRad FPV

[@DANKFPV]

Shooting down a road at any time of day or night is so stupid. So glad neither of you were hurt. Flying inside the crack is crazy🤘and that dive was so nice

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks man, keep ripping bro!

[@offaxisfpv]

appreciate you

[@dsvilko]

Pushing people into a moving traffic is also so stupid. I would even go so far as to say that throwing explosives into a children's playground hasn't been very smart. For some things saying that they are "so stupid" actually normalizes them far too much. But I agree, a fantastic video!

[@DANKFPV]

@@dsvilko you don’t make sense bruh.

[@AnansiFpv]

That's crazy, so glad you guys are safe. Sounds like you handled the situation as best you could 👊. Awesome flight as usual to cap it off!

[@mlentsch]

Sweet music, btw - the old guys have all the good musical taste - probably because we're from a time when new music was still great.

[@CarpeUniversum]

There's good new music now.. just way way WAY less of it.... Any good hit list is something like 85% 80s, 90s, 5% 70s, 5%early 2000s, 1% 2010 and newer, and 4% pre 70s classics

[@Razyl]

As always incredible, one of the best FPV pilots in the world👋👋

[@Black-ice_fpv]

On top of the world, thats amazing!!

[@MrRockstar3nergy]

This is by far probably my favorite video to date, you've been my inspiration for long-range and moving over to analog for my long range flights. Great shots, what a beautiful area you are in. I love visiting BC. Thanks for the great Saturday night post Falcon 🫡✌️

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thans so much for the comment!

[@chainbenwa2713]

Bet it was a large caliber air rifle.. they’re getting more and more powerful and more popular these days. Yes.. dirt mount behind targets works well. It’s hard for a rifle round to get thru only 2 feet of dense dirt. That loud rifle shot you heard with the crackling noise was definitely a supersonic rifle bullet.

[@gilliedavid1]

Sweet video, we are flying in the Banff to Calgary area right now, from the lower mainland in BC .thanks always for the inspiration

[@BrandonBeans]

That first dive is super sick.

[@Auraborialus]

your long range vids are epic

[@TheMathewsFamily1]

Awsome flight as always, keep them comming!! I'd love to see the split screen with the dvr from the goggles as well. People who don't fly long range (or have unlimited funds) don't know how much courage it takes to send it like that up there. I don't have the guts to send my lr4 more then a couple miles so I'll have to live vicariously thru you!

[@GramGrinst]

Incredible flights. I wish I had mountains like yours near my home.

[@qck57594]

Glad you are both ok. Great flights.

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks 👍

[@bebenoeg5188]

Nice dive, like it..! 👍😍🔥🔥🔥

[@candymanfpv]

Thank God you're ok brother!!!

[@SpiralEyesFPV]

Beautiful location and flight, but what a crazy incident you had. Glad it ended well!

[@Humboldt710]

What an amazing place to fly! Scary having irresponsible shooters that close too. Glad you guys were ok.

[@offaxisfpv]

lived to see another day

[@frankensteinfpv]

Balls of steel! Great flying brother and glad you guys are safe..

[@FPVEmperor]

You have a good eye sir. Beautiful mountains and great flying

[@MountainFlyerFPV-el7rm]

I found this spot 3 summers ago. Cool to see how others fly the same spot 🤙🏼

[@FalconRadFPV]

Nice 👍 Ya the old washout in the road got fixed, so easier to get there now.

[@rambozo_fpv176]

Incredible flight. Perfect view through that crack lined up with the same geological rift in the next ridge.

[@FalconRadFPV]

haha you saw that, ya the same crack goes across a huge part of the mountain.

[@kingjam6433]

Glad to see your all safe. You've definitely levelled up in the flying department, much closer lines and less hesitation. Love it ❤

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks, I appreciate that.

[@spookydonkey2195]

Dive was so good! Not knowing what is beyond your target is bad. Glad everything worked out.

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thank you!

[@MatMarguet]

The mountain is beautiful and the fly is awesome !

[@StarsAtNight1]

That flight was incredible with that song. I just got tears in my eyes and also had goosebumps during that flight!! thx, My guess you could fly through that ridge was because the signal reflected somewhere

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks so much for the comment! Ya I think you're right, reflections of the signal bouncing off the rock and back towards me.

[@EricMilewski]

wow! crazy story

[@TheParadigmShiftTV]

Amazing footage at that spot! The rock formations look awesome. I've had more than one day ruined trying to fly while gangster types are shooting in the woods nearby. That was a ridiculously close call for you there. Holy sh*t!

[@BigKahunaFPV]

Epic footage!! Maybe you can upload the whole flight and/or record it with DVR. Best regards 😊

[@CRAGLORD]

Dude epic story and epic crags and insane flying. I didnt know analog could do that! Only other long range guys can truly appreciate this. Im gonna play a canada Crag mission next summer, where is this?

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks buddy. You can email me @ [e-mail] and we can talk about locations and meeting up somewhere.

[@offaxisfpv]

amazing as always. and you picked a great song for that flight. feel free to use my logo if you want. always great SHOTS when we fly together....no pun intended........ok it was :D

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks buddy!

[@nelsondcp]

Very interesting. Maybe as you flew through that gap the hard granite managed to bounce some of the signal enough off the hard granite that it got out?

[@MANTA_FPV]

Gettin shot at took all the fear off you, cause that flight was fearless! Nice one💪🏻

[@gregdavidd]

Wow what an adventure. Great video too. I was at loss for how your were getting video through that crack before you talked about it.

[@FalconRadFPV]

I think what was happening maybe were reflections of the signal going back and forth in the rock and some getting out in my direction. The helical antennas aren't the greatest, but they are fairly good at cross polar rejection (I think, half of those reflections getting back to me would be oppositely polarized)

[@AponeFPV]

Stunning visuals as always dude and a great story, 👍

[@FalconRadFPV]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@MCsCreations]

Man, that's freaking dangerous! 😬 I've been watching things about the "missing 411", you know? But now I'm wondering if something worse didn't happen to some of them. 😬 Either way, amazing flying! Stunning footage!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks MC, hope you're doing well.

[@pixelcomet]

what a story! nice flight

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks a lot!

[@SbangFPV]

Epic stuff❤

[@Shinra29]

Very nice 🎉

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks 😊

[@lambo_drives]

11:14 DJI is the bestest of the bestest…. Oh wait… I only own Analog FPV… I’m just projecting the voices of others cause this screen flashed so quickly telling me I had to do this… 😅

[@lalilaloe]

Awesome flying, glad no one got hurt! You probably felt alive as ever when you realised those where bullets, might be wise to report the incident nevertheless.

[@McShakyFPV]

Reflections worked in your favor. Congratulations on the most epic mountain surf ever! What vtx and power were you running?

[@FalconRadFPV]

it was a 1.6w rush vtx, I think I was running it at max power. I used to always run at 800mw to go easy on the vtx, but now I figure I'll just max it out and change the VTX after a year or two.

[@calfolkionized]

@FalconRadFPV do you think HDZero can perform close to analog did in those flights?

[@McShakyFPV]

@@calfolkionized hdz still has a bug where supposedly 1 in 100 flights the vtx will just turn off power. It’s happened once to me.

[@calfolkionized]

@@McShakyFPV Ah dang! I've only flown micro racers with my hdz and it was great. Oh well I guess no one solution is perfect for everything, maybe I'll get a Foxeer module to test it out. Thanks!

[@NerdyFpv]

An inspiring adventure! Love these vlogs! Glad you're safe! I was just wondering what hd cam you're using in this video? Since you was so "happy" to loose your gopro hero 11 mini last time lol.. ;) I´m a bit on the fence.. I am coming from Hero 8 basically, both a "naked" one and a full size. Can´t get a Hero 10 Bones sadly. So i´m considering Hero 11 mini or a naked hero 11 or 12(flywoo perhaps, but very pricey). Don't like the weight of the full size hero 11 or 12 though.. What would be your "two cents" on this luxury trilemma? Cheers!

[@planesandbikes7353]

something to think about with deer season opening up now (bow hunting, then rifles etc)

[@Sir_Hubris]

That's a scary night M8, I can feel your adrenaline! @ 04:35 ... I assume you through all that trash (back) in a trashcan? 🙈 Amazing flying in an amazing scenery again ! ♥ ¶ ; - )

[@Sun_Rider_FPV]

Wild

[@alewarte]

nice 🤟

[@calmarcalmar]

impressive.

[@KrankyPandas]

Wow, great video :)

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thank you very much!

[@LifeAsA]

Was the signal multipathing into a pocket there from the back side? Getting shot at got you taking risks!

[@MactacFPV]

Holy crap man. You got lucky. Hopefully that incident also scared them a bit too so they don't continue the moron behavior and kill someone. Awesome line on that mountain, I've never tried it from that angle... nice find !

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks buddy!

[@dante9192]

That’s a very coo video thank you! What’s your setup?

[@FalconRadFPV]

Orqa goggles with rapidfire and two DIY 7 turn helical antennas. Quad is usually my rad li-ion frame with t motor f7 pro FC and F55 pro II ESC, rush solo or geprc maten for the VTX and always a TrueRC Singularity for the antenna on my quad. Oh and a TX16s with crossfire V2 micro TX and a TrueRC TrueMox antenna. (and a diversity RX on the quad with one immortal t in the front and a dipole vertical in the back)

[@nielsB_FPV]

welcome in America ;)

[@KwadzUK]

great music no idea how you didn't loose the drone

[@jaysonrees738]

Wow, at night and up the road. Those guys really were idiots. One of the fundamental rules of gun safety is to know what you're aiming at. Glad things turned out fine in the end. Bet those guys learned a good lesson from this.

[@FalconRadFPV]

Hopefully it WAS a lesson learned for them. Thanks for your comment.

[@jimross898]

Sweet flight. Few things get you jacked up like bullets flying past you. Been there. Gun size is irrelevant. A .22 can kill you as fast as any larger gun.

[@dieterweik6858]

Really spectacular flying! Takes a lot of confidence to fly so close to the rocks. People being irresponsible with guns makes me angry. You just can't fix stupid.

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks so much!

[@pkarc]

Falcon, glad you guys are fine, defenitly idiots around. 11:10 can't agree more

[@MoonRabbitFPV]

awesome video ;) new sub

[@FalconRadFPV]

Awesome thank you!

[@mlentsch]

I presume that you're not showing us the rifle you always bring with you into the bush... esp the public bush....

[@bitterrootfpv2207]

The problem with guns is the fact that idiots have access to them. Well regulated! It's what the 2nd says. The gun zealots omit that part. I would be worked up too. Glad nobody was hurt. Beautiful footage brother!

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thank you!

[@VJspoonbender]

Dude, crazy adventure, unfortunately morons with guns are a regular hazard in that valley. Great vid.

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks very much!

[@вечная_мерзлота]

now you can't say you never been shot at.

[@FalconRadFPV]

haha guess not!

[@kl152ci]

😩 i thought i picked a safe hobby to stay out of trouble

[@ones_flow5652]

I'm glad living in Germany where at least for now not every moron is running around with some sort of rifle or whatever. You had a lot of luck, Sir and I probably had shat my pants in your situation. 😀 (no, it's not really funny) Reminds me of a video seen here on YT where two guys are in the swiss alps as far as I remembre and then there's a guy shooting at them because they are flying their drones which was completely legal and didn't stress anybody (well, ok, noone but that shooting moron). Sadly I can't find the video anymore.

[@FalconRadFPV]

oh too bad that would have been crazy to watch!

[@Marauder1981]

You forgot to put the artist and title of the music in the vid describtion

[@crazicat]

Glad you are both OK, always gotta be on the lookout for stupid people. Great flying as always, analog for the win.

[@FalconRadFPV]

Thanks for the comment.

[@bfowler1021]

If it was a firearm, you would hear the bullet before the gun shot. Unless it’s close, then you would only hear the shot.

[@FalconRadFPV]

oh ya it was a firearm for sure, no mistaking the sound of those bullets going past.

[@viinse1427]

As a non american it sounds so unsurreal that you can just get out to somewhere shooting a rifle. Even if you own a rifle and not even using it you'll get locked up. But after that, without gun experience even I could say that you must be an absolute moron to shoot in the middle of the night on an open road.. I'm glad you guys are okay!

[@FB-gm6el]

which mountain (volcano)is that @9:36...?

[@FalconRadFPV]

Sorry, I don't give out my locations. I've spent years driving thousands of kilometers of gravel roads in search of the most visually appealing mountains to fly. Besides the adventures it takes to find these places is half the fun.
