    FPV Evening Bails

    Hi All, After a long day at work it was time to wind down and have a nice relaxing flight among the freshly cut bails of ferns, no thrills just a nice constant motion to blow the dust of the quad and for me to get my FPV fix. I hope you enjoy this flight. Best viewed full screen 1080p
