I was flying from an open field, right at the edge of the forest on my first away-from-home flight when I nearly lost my Mini 2. I launched from an open field, right at the edge of the forest. My mistake was assuming that the Mini 2 was still straight above me, right where I launched. My flight path was not where I ASSumed it was. This little a/c is impossible to see and I ignored that fact.
Fortunately, I recovered without issue, but descending without clear knowledge of what's below is a classic pilot error.
Strobe and mounting clip ordered.
