Mini Talon - Coming In Hot (again!)
Well, it's been a while since I have been out and about - to be honest with you, it's been my own fault - I've been assuming the worst will happen with the planes (i.e. crashing and burning) and since it's muddy I've been putting off going out because I don't fancy traipsing across the boggy fields.
Well today I thought "screw it" and decided to go anyway as I've been itching to fly for ages, yet talking myself out of it for way too long.
I managed about 15 minutes on the Mini Talon with no drama at all, just getting familiar with the sticks again and thoroughly enjoyed it for a change - certainly makes a difference having a plane that flies nicely as opposed to one you're fighting all the time.
So - hopefully this will train my brain into coming out a little more often and getting back into the swing of things.
Enjoy this "landing" :)
Oh - also - check out my blog that I've set back up: www.fpvsteve.co.uk

Don't land your Mini Talon like this...
I 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.
