finally prooving viable

After 2 years languishing in the bilge of his house boat, Mick finally gets it together with his FPV gear. Two funny heads, and several spent Lipo packs later he's almost got to grips with it.

Mick's happy to rent it out to model boat users, it comes complete with diesel 'smell-o-vision' for the ultimate immersive experience.

Nonsense video to follow at some point....
