Nova Scotia Mini Pilot

[El Principio]

Just joined the unmanned aviation ranks today! No license needed under 250 grams so the Mini is a great way to start out in Canada.

I have a YouTube channel (if a motovlog is a motorcycle video log, what do you call one with a convertible? convlog? ragvlog? open to suggestions) so I want to add some nice aerial shots, but it's also fun to just fly!

Welcome to our forum, from the friendly skies of Texas.

You'll find that the Mini almost flies itself. This can lead to overconfidence. Try to be conservative at first, and expand your horizons gradually. It gets windy in Nova Scotia! The Mini, at only 249 grams, doesn't handle wind as well as the heavier drones do. On windy days it's best to fly the Mini so that you have a tail wind on the way back. Read your manual (link below), and practice using "Find My Drone". Chances are you'll crash and perhaps lose your drone. Don't wait 'til that happens to try to learn under less than ideal conditions.
