Hi all,
Did quite a few flights with the drone today and probably being too risky already but wanted to test the handling of the drone in the winds (sport mode).
I flew the drone in winds about 20 knots gusting 30 so around 35-50kmh. Despite the several wind warnings, it did hold its position perfectly and landing it wasn't too bad either.
I did make a rookie mistake (did it with the phantom before too). I fired the drone up and then took off, I forgot to wait for GPS to be enabled so I was stuck in atti mode for a good 20 seconds fighting those winds manually which was a great challenge. Scared me at first because I didn't realize what had gone wrong lol.
Hopefully an eye opener for everyone because its so easy to miss something like that when you're too excited to get flying.
