I'm just going to throw this out there.
My contention is that is more dangerous to fly outside on a sunny day via line of sight than with FPV. By FPV I mean with glasses that display the ground station and camera view.
My argument is this;
I live in a Mediterranean country where we have bright sunlight with zero cloud cover from June to September, and yearly we have something like 300 days of sunshine .
I have a sunshield around the Note 8 with the brightness turned full on. I can see it outside, if that's what I'm looking at.
But with line of sight I look into the sky to see where the P3 is.
My eyes adjust to a small object in a bright blue background in full sunlight. Now, when I look back at the tablet display I can't see anything, or just a ghost of something, because my eyes are not adjusted to looking at a shaded screen. So I have no telemetry, I lose the orientation (I can see the P3, but not always where it's pointing), and I'm basically flying blind if the P3 is more than about 200ft (60m) away.
Isn't it far far safer to fly with FPV glasses, and a spotter?

To get over this I normally use BT-200's that are screen-mirroring the Note 8, and that works just fine, but today I couldn't get the screen mirroring to work and just flew from the Note 8, and it struck me how much harder it was...
