Mini2 in the mountains and canyons. 11 months, 12+ hours. No crashes (knock on wood).
Yup. 76 years old and counting. Getting a little creaky around the edges. I've always wanted to try hang gliding. Maybe I'll go sky diving when I'm 99? But not where the photo was taken...Your 76 or you were born in 76?
Hang Gliding, I did it once, crashed in to some rocks, then I woke up.
Never tried it again!

BTW, Remote ID requirement might ground my Mini 2. I (unfortunately) registered it, which brings with it the Remote ID requirement:
"Drones which are required to be registered or have been registered, including those flown for recreation, business, or public safety, must comply with the rule on Remote ID."
UAS Remote Identification | Federal Aviation Administration
Drones or unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are fundamentally changing aviation, and the FAA is committed to working to fully integrate drones into the National Airspace System (NAS). Safety and security are top priorities for the FAA and remote identification (remote ID) of drones is crucial to...www.faa.gov
The FAA doesn't seem to understand how to write rules that account for different drone capabilities and differing local conditions. Major bummer.
Not sure yet if RID will end my brief acquaintance with drone photography, but it very well could do so.
You are mistaken about the RID Requirement for the Mini 2… Only the Mini 2s that are registered under a Part 107 account must meet RID Requirement. If the Mini 2 is registered under a Recreational Pilot Account, it is still a recreational drone and does not have to meet the RID Requirment.BTW, Remote ID requirement might ground my Mini 2. I (unfortunately) registered it, which brings with it the Remote ID requirement:
I am Part 107 licensed and my Mini 2 is registered under my Part 107 Account and there is no problem registering it with NO RID. The reason is when I must have that Rid Module on my Mini 2, the RID Module will be registered, at an additional cost. The Mini 2 does not need to have the RID check box checked as it is not transmitting the RID Signal, only the module would be…I registered mine and they accepted the No RID check mark.
How do you practise hang gliding?View attachment 169109
This is where I practice my hang gliding while my drone is charging.
