Good to know. Thank you msinger. Bill

I also use the UAV Forcaste app and I like it. I do wish it told me where it gets it's readings from. 5 miles away? 2 miles away? 10 miles away. That would be a handy bit of information. But all that said, watch what's going on around you. Look at the highest point around you. Are there trees...

I can see that. And it is appreciated.

I want to thank all the competent and experienced flyers on here for their opinions and suggestions. The reason I posted the OP was because I wanted to know what some of you might know that I had not thought of. That is why if you notice in the OP I said I was contemplating it and asked for your...

Good to know you're that close if I'm ever in need of repairs or parts. I'm in Cartersville Ga,

Thanks. Yes I will definitely disable the sensors.

Beautiful pic! Moisture from the fog is maybe my biggest concern. If I go straight vertical and am not out of it within 400FT I'm bringing it straight back down. If I detect any moisture I'm going to let it sit with the props turning till the heat and propwash dry it off.

I hadn't thought about the fog giving false readings on the sensors. I will definitely turn them off as I won't need them anyway. My plan is to take off from an open area on my own property that I know well and go vertical after getting GPS lock straight up to the 400FT ceiling and if I was...

I was thinking how cool it would be to get above it and be in the sunrise on top of the fog. Could make some interesting video. Icing won't be an issue. I live in Georgia in the southern US and the projected low that AM is 44F/7C. Thanks for your input.

I was concerned about that. Thanks

Cool Video. Did you have much condensation on your bird? And that was of my biggest worries, could it find it's way back using RTH if I flew around a bit?

The weather forecast for where I live is for fog this Friday morning. I am contemplating seeing if I can get above it. I think that could afford some great video. My question is have any of you seasoned UAV pilots had any experience flying in or through fog. How much could the moisture from fog...

I bought the one from ebay that Thunderdrones just posted about. It's thorough, concise and affordable. Very pleased with it.

Stunning footage!

Beautiful. The right place at the right time!
