Remember as a kid on Christmas morning when you'd sit around the tree full of hope, wonder & excitement? Remember when that feeling was crushed as you unwrapped aunt Judy's gift and found she knitted you a wool sweater with a reindeer on it? (Damnit Judy!)
After I put the kids to bed last night I had some quiet time at my desk to carefully start unboxing my
M2P and accessories. Everything was thoroughly inspected & meticulously organized. Batteries were labeled, drone was marked with registration numbers & firmwares were updated. Setup tutorials were watched and beginner mode (along with some other beginner settings) were configured. Everything was charged up before bed and then carefully placed into the bag with big hopes of a morning flight.
Well, this morning I unwrapped Aunt Judy's sweater!
Torrential downpours, sustained winds @ 20+ KM/h with gusts of 50+ KM/h. it's supposed to clear up a little later this afternoon as far as rain, but the winds don't seem to be going anywhere, with another 1-3mm of rain tomorrow and 22-33KM/h windows carrying through until Friday when I leave on a trip.
I probably could get it in the air before I leave, but this would be my first flight with a drone and high winds is nothing something I wish to work with while I get the hang of it so looks like I'll have to wait until next week.
Bah humbug!
