FPV in the snow with the AXN
Some nice fresh snow on only the 2nd AXN flight. Schoolboy error meant that my camera was panned 45 degrees throughout the entire flight and I didn't realise as I'd removed the little stick I was using for my central reference beforehand - oops! No wonder it felt like it was flying weirdly!!
