Hi Guys,
Had a second little fly. I guess as Im new at this im cautious but, man, it's often too windy. Checking UAV forecast right now (UK East Anglia, near me)
33ft 16mph gusts 29
100ft 19mph gusts 32
250ft 21mph gusts 33
400ft 22mph gusts 34
So if I look at the gusts, and it's over 22 i'm defo not going to use it.
With your mini 4 pro, what is your skill level and what are your own rules for wind and flying?
Also I went out, forgot the landing mat (I know lots of you dont use one). I was surprised how flat and level the ground needs to be (and sand and dusty dirt free). Any grass needs to be soooooo perfectly short. Anyway I found a tiny patch of ground (actually a squashed mole hill) and use that, but not doing that again, it was sketchy!! On my list now is practice hand takeoff and hand catching lol, ive watched the theory, need to try it. Also I think I will leave the landing mat in the car permanently.
One other point, I find im staring at the drone and forget to look at the screen, great fun practising though, will go out again near sunset as the wind drops as the 100ft gusts are down to 22
