How often do you fly, be honest!

[1bad]

Good evening friends,

So I want to know how often you fly? It doesnt have to be for a purpose. I just want to know how lant times a day, a week, a month your bird leaves the ground for any reason.

For me I try to have a bird in the air at least four times a week. Even if it just is for a neighborhood stroll or practicing in front of the house.

I try about 3 times a week weather and work permitting.

 

[Motorcycle Rider]

Almost every day, but sometimes the weather is too terrible, or my day too busy.
Then again, I also sometimes take it out to fly 3 or 4 times a day. I'm not sure anymore, but think that I got my mini about 6 weeks ago, and it shows 117 flights.

I usually look up and if i got some good clouds or a storm in the distance i will put it up...some weeks every day some weeks just a few times. I have flown enough out of my backyard now that the act of flying in it or over the woods behind it now just less exciting.

When i first got a drone it was almost every day but now it's about once a week.

I seem to go in fits and starts. During lockdown I didn't feel it was right to go out droning. I did take it with me when I was called out to work as I had a reason for being out. But rarely flew it because there was nothing I particularly wanted to film. I've been taking it with me when I go for a bike ride and have been using it.

Mostly I fly when I have the idea for a film, or testing techniques out in the local park. My next project is going to be when I go down this disused railway track that runs for 20 miles. I did the trailway yesterday with my daughter but didn't take the drone as she doesn't want to be stopping for me to fiddle around. But going shopping in a town en route and stopping for lunch, and going round her friends house because I had a rucksack and ended carrying her friends birthday present were all different of course!

Yes, old people CAN ride bikes.

Every couple of weeks

 

[old man mavic]

as often as life and weather allow ,if conditions are good i will go out with both drones and fly all 8 batteries ,unfortunately here in the UK, we dont get the long spells of good weather that other countries enjoy so our drone flying tends to be seasonal to some extent

 

[FlyingFilmmaker]

Whenever there's something worth filming, or I feel like I need to do some polishing on my skills. Or I just feel like flying.

 

[itsneedtokno]

Every day for sunset at a minimum.

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday is my weekend, and I fly probably 1 hour to 90 minutes each day.

Just last night I popped up for 10 minutes to catch a 195 picture panorama.

Any chance I get really

When the wife allows me. Maybe thrice in a week for an hour.

 

[Tony McDrone]

I fly every evening around sunset at a park close to home. I'm a member of a local flying club, so a little more on the weekends.

 

[RadioFlyerMan]

Daily, if my health and the weather will allow. Generally, I make two to three 15 minute flights either practicing flight moves, or just looking around the countryside to see what's going on. I find it relaxing. I always keep at least one charged battery ready in case something unusual comes up... storms coming in of Lake Michigan, fog, or maybe a cool sunset.

I always keep at least one battery ready in case something unusual comes up... storms coming in, fog, or maybe a cool sunset.

Living in FL where the weather changes by the minute, I also keep one battery full just in case.

I tell my wife, "If I wanted to look at $1000 I could have pulled it out of the bank..."

But that's me

I didn't buy a $1000 paperweight.

 

[Slade]

I try to fly 3 times a month. I never fly in wind, so weather and my health dictates when I fly. But whenever I fly I’m enjoying my freedom.

 

[Oconnb910]

I tried to get out whenever I can.

 

[fGene]

I usually take off from my backyard several times a week just before dusk to test the mods I'm currently working on. Flying for the sake of pleasure/video/photography is becoming rare -- there are not many good flying spots nearby and I don't have enough time to travel as I used to. Today is the first time in my life I was congratulated on occasion of Father's day, so many people can probably deduce what's going on

 

[SpitFire]

I fly at least once a week, weather permitting, towards the evening hours. When I say weather permitting, not 90 degrees outside, not raining, not windy. And, I am feeling well on top of that.

 

[Johnmcl7]

I don't fly regularly and instead it's based on the weather plus when I'm in the mood for it as I usually tie it in with a dog walk or cycle.
