First flight for a while.

So I went out with Rob for the first time flying in about a month.  He came and picked me up and we headed around the corner to a local oval.  Strike 1 - kids playing footy.  3 or 4 kids were playing in the goals so we picked another local oval.

This was better as no one was using it.  I hadn't charged my packs since the last time I flew so I didn't know how much charge I had in them.  They were all above 11.5V so I just thought I'd fly anyway.

It was my first flight test of the VBAT and Buzzer install I had done earlier.  Both of these seemed to work although I couldn't set them up as the CleanFlight version didn't have that functionality.  I heard the buzzer beep but I don't know what it was set to.

I ended up using 4 packs and breaking 3 props.  One was obviously weak and ejected 2 blades when I gave it some schtick!  The others were bent or had white markings from weakness so I just swapped them out.

It was good fun to get back into it again and I have some more work to do to get both my RunCams installed as well as the telemetry mod on my receiver.
