Team BlackSheep has spent 2 weeks of early December 2011 touring through the West Coast of the United States. Over the coming weeks we'll treat you to a series of breathtaking videos.
Welcome to Team BlackSheep

Presentation at RC-talk
Team BlackSheep was invited to participate in a talk about FPV, the legalities and future challenges in Switzerland. Together with Martin W. from flyinghigh and Peter K. from BAZL, they informed a broad audience of R/C enthusiasts about UAVs, FPV and copters.
Here is the presentation as PDF, and you can also read a short summary of the presentations and first impressions from Herrmann M.

Reduced prices ... for ever!
Higher production quantities from our vendors and better exchange rates have made it possible for us to decrease the prices on half a dozen products.
Can you find out which ones?

We are not alone!
Our good friends are having a blast with FPV too. With the year 2011 ending, even guys who don't post as frequently as we do went ahead and made a "best of 2011" compilation. Here's our favorite this far:

An inspiring story
brosius85, one of our friends from down under, has just posted a short story of how he got into R/C. He documented the trials and tribulations he went through in some rather entertaining videos. There are many lessons to be learned besides the laughs of seeing a person fly a R/C plane for the first time.
To those looking to get into FPV, this should be an inspiring story. Well done

New Year Special
Rensen's 3D plane has been sitting in his shed for quite some time. He built two just in case, and one is now looking for a new owner. The CG is spot on, you can fly it with one or two 3300mAh 4S (2nd battery mounts right at the CG) for ultra floatyness or high speed and long range. It's built by a true professional and ready to fly, just pop in your receiver (or get one from Rensen) and you're good to go. Same price as our TBS Zephyr kits, too.
Rensen's 3D Zephyr - one in stock, first come first serve

It's Christmas!
We wish everyone happy holidays and a happy new year, filled with many uneventful FPV flights.
Please note that part of our staff have been on vacation for the past 2 weeks and during the next 3-4 weeks TBS will also be understaffed due to various vacations and obligations.
We ask for your patience in shipping out orders, our goal is to ship all orders placed in 2011 by New Year's Eve and be on a weekly mailing schedule throughout January. Customer support requests will take approx. 48h.
Thanks for your understanding!

School Project
Team BlackSheep recently got an honorable mention from a Connecticut private school student's project about UAVs.
Dan is building a FPV aircraft on a shoestring budget and created a neat presentation about what he learned in the process. TBS has given him some personal support for setting up his plane.
We are proud to provide motivation for young people to venture into this exciting area. Dan kindly asked for permission to use some of our footage in his presentation and sent us a photo in return.
Take a look at the cool presentation!
Well done, Dan, and if the teachers don't give you good grades be sure to let us know. We'll buzz their house a couple of times :)

Quantity discounts
Our cameras have proven to be in high demand. For all those that want to convert their whole fleet over to these cameras, we've now made it cheaper to order multiple cameras at once. See for yourself!

Team BlackGoat !
Team BlackSheep is quickly becoming a movement, with small groups of people all over the world banding together and sharing their enthusiasm for our way of FPV. Newest members of the "movement" are "Team BlackGoat" from Brazil, and the IsrealiSheep.
We are proud to share the same passion as these talented individuals and hope to meet each of them in person soon! Keep it safe and AGL!
