Aerobird Xtreme Dusk Flight
Just flying around after sunset on a nice calm night with my Aerobird Xtreme. Includes a beautiful takeoff and landing. I'm amazed at how much gear my Xtreme will haul. Short takeoffs and landings are all within reach even with all of the gear onbard. Enjoy

I should probably post the disclaimer that my ABX has had its electronics gutted and although its still running the original motor, the ESC is a Pheonix 35 and I think it helps a little with top end power.

Mini Sidewinder you might say... Deffinately no explosive tip.
If you play with the pause button and anticipate the event you can capture it in frame. Looks pretty cool.

RE: Aerobird Xtreme Dusk Flight
Good job foreverNight! You achieved great altitude and you really pushed the ABX to it's limits. All of that with a camera on board, no less.
Now you just need the purchase a bigger memory card and show us a landing
It's good to see other people out there running ABX's for AP/AV! Keep 'em coming.
Regards
