Lasernut 93 – Arboretum Main–Taunus, Eschborn / Frankfurt [01_0010] (long range FPV RC car driving)

"The Arboretum Main-Taunus is an arboretum on an area of 76 hectares (190 acres) located southwest of Eschborn, Hesse, Germany. The arboretum lies close to Frankfurt am Main." [ from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arboret... ]

Early morning driving at the Arboretum – my favorite FPV ride so far! 😊 I went there to record a lap video for RC Grid and I'm very happy that I took the chance to explore the Arboretum. Those wooden cows are a carousel, a meadow with real cattle is next to this.
At 13:09 I lost video signal, had to re-gain it and also had a nice short chat with a lady walking her dog. When I was finished driving a guy from the nearby RC airfield came by to check that our radios didn't interfere, but he was very cool about me FPV'ing around. That trip was really worth it! 👍
