Another Lunchtime Flight.

Well I headed out again today.  Once again I had an entourage, with 5 of us in 2 cars venturing out to an oval.  We had 3 drones and 2 spectators.  Monty and Steve were the other pilots, all of us having a Wizard X220.  All of having different levels of modification on them.

Steve went off first as it had been drizzling and Monty went off second.  I grabbed my gear out of the boot and also just burned through one pack myself.  I didn't record any video today but it was great to get out.  4th time this week. :)

3 Cell and 4 Cell Flight today

Once again during my lunch break I shot down to the local oval with 2 mates from work.  Monty had his drone as I'd re-soldered his motor, and resoldered his VTX with a new cable after his last one was mangled.

After getting everything back together for him, we went for a quick drive.  I flew today with my Eachine VRD2 and let Chris watch through the EV-100.  Monty put his drone into the trees within about 2 minutes of us getting there. (Before I'd even unpacked my gear) and he chopped one of his  Receiver wires.  That will be a job for another day.

Another Flight. 2 in 2 days!

Well I went out with 2 work mates again.  Once again I just flew 3 cell.  I recorded with both the VRD2 and the RunCam 3.  I've uploaded a video.

It Flies!

It has been months since I've had a fly, but today I had a go.

I charged my 6 x 3S batteries, and my 2 x 4S batteries last night and packed it all into the boot ready for a lunchtime venture during work.

I headed out with a mate to the local oval in my lunch break.  It had been raining this morning (which my work mates joked always happened when I used to put my RC Car in the boot on Wednesdays and they said it transferred to any remote vehicle I intended to use.) but the sun broke through for a few hours, drying the grass and enabling some flight time.
