Hi World -
Got the Air 3 in the air for the first time and had a quick question about PL.
A few of my lands were within a couple of feet of the bright orange take off pad that I use. A couple were right on the money. What causes the difference? A couple of the "hits" and "misses" were taking off from the same spot after battery change. The misses could be significant due to higher grass that could entangle the props.
I take off from a bright orange hello pad, had 30 satellites lock on, partly sunny day, no wind, mid afternoon so plenty of light, I take off and wait for "home point is updated", then go.
The only thing that I can think of is in the manual it says go up 7 m (21-ish feet) and hover, then go ... which I did not do. I let the drone go up to the height that it goes up on automatic take off. Is that what I am doing wrong?
For each take off, are we supposed to go to 21 feet straight up and hover, but for how long?
Thanks for any experience you can share regarding this.
Other than this, the Air 3 flew buttery smooth. I didn't get quite the range before dropping a bar as some of the videos I've seen, but admittedly I have a lot more dense forest and vegetation between me and the drone than some of the desert and high elevation videos I've watched ....
I appreciate your thoughts!
