line of shite


A mad dash up to Thurnham first thing this morning to capture the drama of
mist hanging on the Downs.

A pre-flight assessment of the conditions show that the northerly breeze is blowing the clag away rapidly, so it's off with the Radian asap circling up through the hole in the fog flying line of sight only. The more initiated amongst you have probably guessed what was about to happen...



Here's the view looking back down toward the cow shed.




Looking back towards Detling and Maidstone. Hugging tightly within the bubble of clear airspace, gracefully cinematic sweeps captured the drama of the morning air, and then....


the mist closed in....

the Radian vanished....



Her final resting place....and to top it all
the camera battery died a minute and a half into the flight :-(

Today's subject for the North Downs debating society-
'Line of sight safer than FPV?- discuss'


Off to TJD tomorrow then....
