RFTC: Flying an FPV Multirotor at a Hot Air Balloon Festival for RotorDrone Magazine

In this episode, the Roswell Flight Test Crew returns to the Tigard Festival of Balloons, giving viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the their article entitled “Up, Up & Away!” in Issue #2 of RotorDrone Magazine. In addition to conducting daylight and nighttime flight operations, the crew is recruited by the festival's flight director to do aerial photography, to help plan the event in future years. They are also invited by the operators of an especially “Wicked” balloon to fly inside its envelope while it's standing with its burners lit, and even test what happens when a multirotor collides with the skin of their aircraft.
