There was a little snow fall last night.  I thought it would be a good time to get the mini tricopter out for a FPV flight.  The leaves have all changed colors and the temperature is dropping.  It was very cold outside but I think my batteries lasted just as long as normal.

Don't be scared of TX and RX antennas.  I'm using these in the video:
