at long last got airborne

[old man mavic]

finally got a break in the weather today and took to the sky's
flew 4 batts in the MPP and 4 in the MM
it was quite cold but a fair bit of sun but the best part was the light winds
was not bothered about getting any good pics or video just needed to get the sticks in my hands again
both drones performed flawlessly and i came home rejuvenated, there's nothing better than being out in the fresh air and flying
it looks like it will be a while before the weather allows for another foray, you have to grab the moment when you can

Lucky you ...were I live in Sweden the winds have died out also, but instead it's -1C & fog

Congratulations on getting out and enjoying the brief lull in the weather. It's been pretty awful this last few weeks and this weekend doesn't look any better. I'm toying with the idea of getting up at 6:00 am and going out to catch the ferry coming in as the weather is due to break later on in the morning so it looks like the only chance of getting out with the MA this weekend. Also got 4 batteries for it so just need to make sure that are all charged ready to go.

I know that feeling when there is large absence from those sticks

 

[Drone Master]

Yeop, I know what it is like not to fly for awhile. I start to get pilot withdrawal symptoms. ? Glad you got out for a bit! Feels good don’t it?

Very Cool! The days around here have not been so generous.

You sound like me ... marathon flying! Glad you were able to get out finally!

But we fly, 4 battery today.

 

[slup]

But we fly, 4 battery today.

Nope ... not yet. Everything is fully charged & prepared, but even this Saturday morning the temp is -2C degrees with dense fog starting from tree tops. But I'm waiting patiently, ready to take off ?

 

[old man mavic]

it seems we are in a no win situation sometimes,you charge everything up and the weather is rubbish ,then you go by the forecast,don't charge everything and then the weather is nice ,but life gets in the way i was out for 7 hours in total including a grub stop, but i was determined to make the best of it,glad i did back to the rain today

[Dedal]

To unpredictable still, weather wise. But, first chance I get, I'll be flying.

Been windy here in the south as well as raining almost daily.
I hope to drain a couple of batteries today looks clear and about 50 degrees

So got at last the possibility to exercise all my batteries during the Saturday ... in the end I were freezing my **** off together with toes & fingers, but limped back home with a satisfied smile & some pics. Today Sunday the wind have picked up again ...

OMM -

Pleased you enjoyed your day out.

I managed just a few minutes as it was a little blowy here and not having gained much flight time under my belt as yet to risk my mini. .

I did take a little vid though to keep my spirits up.
