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.



I ended up testing the different modes.  I tested a half roll and realised it was auto leveling.  I switched the 3 way selector to the middle position and then couldn't roll.  All this time I'd been flying in Horizon mode, which I thought was Angle mode.

I then put it in Acro and had quite a good flight until gravity got the best of me and I crashed.  There was a good 10+ meters between the drone and the landing place of the rolling RunCam 3 as the crash broke the cable ties holding the 3d printed RunCam mount.  The only casualty apart from my ego at crashing in front of some friends was the 2 cable ties and a prop.

Not too bad overall and I learned something today.  While I didn't fly 4 cell as I'd intended, I will now try that tomorrow
