Mojo & the Golden Hour Mist

Sunsets are around 4pm here now, and foggy conditions in Nov make it hard to fly at all. So for a friday after work session I had to find a new spot, high enough to escape the fog. It's awesom if you can "bring home" this kind of footage with no issues. Once again enjoying the new Vortex and the reliable Crossfire.

ImmersionRC Vortex 230 Mojo Review, Testflights, install FrSky XSR and Crossfire, mods, Cam

ImmersionRC sent me their newest RTF Racequad. I spent many packs with it on my favourite testing grounds, flew in different conditions, once stock and later a bit modified (Crossfire).
You see how easy it is to install the Radio RX. Later I switched to crossfire micro - so this is also a mini review about the popular Radio control link from Trappy / TBS.
