Remarkably well, actually! That day, I probably hit 4 trees. The calibration gets a little wonky, and you can see one of the drone legs in the video when that happens. But it's easy enough to pop it back into place.
That's one tough drone!Tough little bugger.
Clipped some twigs, jerked a little, went down but quickly regained stability and hovered flawlessly.
YES... parts of them will live on, though. You should see the 1967 21-Window bus (Rusty) that we're doing. It was about 70%+ rust. It can be done, just very costly for the metalwork.I just feel sorry for those Ghias... they all need saving
You pretty much asked for those Crashes and you got them! You were pretty much flying Blind by your Camera angle! You were looking down instead of ahead! My Mavic Pro’s # 1&2 wouldn’t let me get close to a Tree with the Avoidance enabled!
Yea, sometimes it’s cheaper to find one already restored but what’s the fun in that? Good luck on your restoration!
Pretty much! Definitely going to need a spotter next time - one with quick reflexes and the ability to say "right" or "left" with 100% accuracy!
I couldn't hear you screaming because I ALSO was screaming!lol! I guess screaming at my screen to move right in the opening didn't help you much, or was even necessary since you missed the tree trunk! ?
I didn't see my favorite, or I was too busy ducking twigs to see it, a Squareback!
You are braver than I for flying through the trees, I cringe at the thought of 400 yards up and out in 100% clear range!
Ok, looked again and saw my fave!!!!!
Yes, there's a square or two out there in the boneyard. 400y up and no trees is how I started a few weeks ago. But there's so much more I want to be able to capture that I was up for taking the challenge. Now, if I could just get the guys in the shop to trim some trees...
Although I haven’t got my Air2 up yet (due to weather), I’m going to fly it just like my MM, which had over 300 miles on it without serious mishap. I’m going to use the sensors as backup. I’ve heard the sensors on the Air2 won’t pick up small branches. Reginald, are the sensors on the MP’s more sensitive than the Air2 or are there just more of them?
