So a little backstory...
I got a Timelapse of this front coming at me, and when it was finished I had to fly farther away to get a wider picture... with a tailwind.
So I fly about 2000 feet away and start taking pictures... at 18% battery.
(I already know I'm not making the wisest decisions with those two choices, but sometimes the picture is worth the chance, as you'll see below)
Okay, back to the story... I am finished taking pictures, and must return home... in a headwind... with about 13% battery now.
Sport mode, full forward stick... going 8 mph... HUH?!?! no high wind warnings whatsoever.
Drop elevation (at 383 feet)... okay doing 15 mph now (200 feet)... 10% battery, forced descent now.
At 111 feet AGL I'm finally making headway at 20 mph. Still 500 feet away. 6% battery.
Overhead at 4%.
Landed at 2.5% lol
Here's the outcome...
SOOOOO WORTH IT
Hope you enjoy viewing it as much as I enjoyed bringing out all the colors in post!
