Short flight with the mini talon just before I went home as it was very dark. Still flying brilliantly. I think I'm going to put a Cyclops Storm in it as I'm nervous about pushing out without RTH - it's more video related than anything else as I have telemetry on my FrSky gear so I know my control link is fine, but if I lose video it's all over. Be nice to have a safety net to give this bird the flights it deserves.
Final flight of the morning as the battery was running low but the footage is lovely and smooth - nice to have the plane flying well and reliably for a change.

Read MoreI really should stop flying "line of sight" - it's dangerous. These Mini-Talons fly forever so need to land either long, or shallow .. not high and steep like this one.
