Pele's daemon - Flowing lava fpv flight

lying an active lava field was an incredible and very scary experience. We hiked a whole 3 hours off trail through laval fieds to get to this place, which is just outside a national park. Just as the day drew to a close I just had the time to fly a very rapid 2 batteries before we headed back down (So we could at least have some light still to have a rough idea of which direction to take for the three hour hike back!). Not the best conditions for drone flying, strong winds, very turbulent near the ground due to the volcanic chimneys. The lava is really hot, so I wasn't sure the drone would make it! But the constant airflow of the props made sure it kept cool enough. I haven't seen many fights like this, hope you'll enjoy!
