FPV Emergency landing - Skywalker flight ends short!

Oh boy, heart pounding stuff for me this... lot's of lessons learnt! 1. Watch the weather properly, 2. When flying long range, use the 1/10th rule for height, in other words for each KM out, go 100m up!

It was actually a really good thing to happen, because it tested me, it tested my equipment and proved that even in bad situations you can make them safe and get your equipment back!

Cheers, Will.
