Title: Drone test flight
Post by: Camo on August 20, 2014, 10:28:37 PM

Tried to post this before but it didn't work.  Lets try this again......

Took the drone down to mums where there is more room to learn how to fly this thing. Didn't take the GoPro with me but got confident enough in flying it to attach my mobile phone to it in video mode and get some footage from aloft.

Wide open spaces without any chance of a cloths line to jump out and total the drone.  :taunt:

Sounds like a swarm of very p#issed-off bees. That's just the thing I'm looking for to get rid of the cockatoos.  :thumbup:

Well did another video of a Twilight test flight I did down at mums but got rid of the noise and put some classical music in. 
The old smart phones have a bit of trouble focusing in low light :smilegrin:

Drone. =  remote control

Drone over iraq are in Iraq I think 
They don't fly themselves .
