  • Winter is closing in

    Had the day off work today but managed to squeeze a couple of flights in before dark tonight.

    At 5.50pm the light was pretty bad so decided to call it a day.

    It was well worth it, I was flying out of my skin..

    Anyone else still getting any flights in before tea.

        it's now time to get home from work and get in front of the fire to warm up. Down to 1C at 6:00 today. :-(
        make the most of the light you have and enjoy the flying.

                    Had a bit of a hover to test the night flying setup but a flat rx battery limited the flight to 1/4 of a tank.
