A whole bucket of FAIL with some Awesome at the end

It was cold. And windy. And I didn't want to fly. But then again I did want to fly. F-- winter indecisiveness. So I went to rip, and the battery instantly mega-sagged to 9v above my head and tried to kill me. So I changed packs and finally got my rip on. Then I love-tapped a tree and blew an ESC. And re-broke my already jacked up antenna. So I slathered some solder all over that bizitch again and called it a night.

The next day we had to go out to her parent's place for family pictures and on the way back we stopped at this park I've been wanting to fly. It was STOOPID windy!!! This was the first time I'd plugged in since the crash and I had no idea the ESC was messed up. NOTE TO SELF PEOPLE (...especially Botgrinder) :P Always check your gear before you go somewhere epic. Hover-test and a cam check are all you've gotta do to check off most boxes and basically guarantee that when you get to your location "you're gonna have a good time".

So one night after work I pulled the busted ESC out, tossed in an old TBS Bulletproof 25A and ripped absolute balls with seconds to spare before the darkness tho... Enjoy my long, shitty video!! :) Peace
