I've flown in that kind of wind in Aruba. It's a bit nerve wracking especially if trying to land in very specific spot. But really - you've got 40mph if you need it so just fly upwind and have fun.

Why would you do that?

I was running the batteries to keep them fresh so I decided to leave my propeller guard on the bottom of the drone for whatever reason. Well, of course I forgot to take it off before flying. The drone is OK but nerve-wracking moment after I started the motors. The MP started to rise and I...

I’ve gotten them. Two thumbs up!

Reading IS fundamental. ***.

Remember range extenders don't help through trees or objects. Let's say you fly about 1/2 mile away with enough height for line-of-sight comm. But then you decide to hover near the ground in that spot. Well, now every object between you and your drone degrade the signal. Adding more power...

Next time consider rotating your drone 180 so you can see where you’re going. Yes, takes a small amount of extra stick input but worth it to prevent mishaps IMO.

Don’t cal the compass. If it asks you to cal then find a place free of magnetic interference and try again.

Take a picture of the perp’s wife out at the store or wherever and make a poster sized cut out of her and lay her out in your backyard.

Research your purchases a bit more next time. Sell your new toy.
