And we kiss the dirt.
This, kids, is what happens when you misjudge the steepness of the mountain and the thinness of the air.
I would not have this footage (full video on YouTube) if it wasn't for the amazing efforts of Philip Mathys (@flying_ipod and @viewsfromadrone) who risked life and limb to go and retrieve the wreckage of my poor Vortex Mojo (we were not game to attempt a rescue on the day). The GoPro was not revivable but it did its duty and kept recording to the bitter end... so we have this video.
This whole adventure has reminded me that the global FPV community is amazing. One post to the Swiss FPV racing group with the DVR footage and location was enough to make this happen.
Keep flying, ignore the politics, and keep the spirit of FPV adventure alive.
