FPV Vlog - Mini Talon Fail But Skywalker saves the day
Took my Mini Talon out for a quick flight to test the Runcam Owl Plus, but for some reason the throttle wouldn't work. So I had to quickly nip home and get my Skywalker, put the Owl on there by which time it had gotten pretty dark - a good test of the Runcam Owl Plus, and the Firefly 7S HD camera.
Nice to fly the Skywalker again :)
By the way, the live video recording is bad because my groundstation was sitting in the back of the car pointing down the field (its got a 3 turn helical) so most of the flying was outside of the 'cone' .. my goggle feed was perfect on bignose skews.
