Quick AXN Flight at the Oil Processing Plant

27 February 2013

On my way back from dropping my daughter off at the bus stop, I decided to fire up the old AXN and test out my new lipo. It was just a short flight as I only had ten minutes.

I'm a bit concerned about the video quality I have to be honest, and I'm tempted to place the VTx out on the wing to alleviate some of the blocking issues I'm having. It's spoiling my FPV experience if I'm honest, and I don't trust the system I have enough to push out very far.

Having said that, this was quite an RF-dirty area with the factories and houses nearby.
