Mini 4 my new wheels

[old man mavic]

hi fellow flyers ,so lately my mobility has deteriated and walking any distance has become rather troublesome,
so to this end i have aquired a small mobility scooter, that i can carry in my car for when i go flying,
here are some pics from my first tryout ,
its great when the drone is in cruise mode, because i can travel along with it, and keep it within my VLOS, and cover a much larger area, every so often, i reset the home point to the RC, so distance from the original take off point is not an issue

Nice photos, as usual.

Do what you can with whatever you have any time you can. Just keep going.

I am in the same boat as you are and about to sell all of my drones!
Problem is, where I live has one very short possible mobility cart ready walkway.

The key is to keep going and keep doing. Still try to walk as much as you can to prevent permanent issues

I bet they could add a turbo charger to your wheels.

Okay, okay - hold down the speed there, bud!
Nice you have it to get around and still enjoy flying!
