The yellow pin is the estimated landing point. There is likely to be an uncertainty of a couple of hundred meters - depending on how consistent the wind was over the lake.
I believe @sar104's estimates like this take the "altitude profile" of wind speed into account. It's pretty dramatic in this case, and the long descent through it adds to the uncertainty; turbulence in such a gale will have larger effects on position than in lighter breezes.

That's correct. The estimate above uses a wind speed profile. This flight was at maximum altitude, and so the aircraft potentially travelled 800 meters or so during the descent.
I Fly Rc Planes, but also my little drone which i have just got so why fly so high that you don"t know what you are doing only one word stop flying drones.
Did 7km on snowshoes. Tomorrow I'll take the snowmobile with me (left it by the shore today and yesterday), the ice is thick enough. I'll drive the area from the landing start to about the same after the landing spot.

Yes,but I believe it would make bump on the surface. It wasn't huge amount of snow and it blows like hell in the middle of the lake.
At least I hope this is the case.
Hopefully it's not me. Our lake is about 2km wide and up to 75m deep. That would be unfortunate to break through.
There is actually double ice at some places (melted snow on the ice snows over and makes second ice layer). When you break through that, it is very unpleasant. And the snowmobile bogs down in the slush.
I hope to avoid it.
Blue line is one and half of my snowshoe searches (didn't record my position most of the first day). Red is snowmobile. Green cross is approximate Landing start point. Landing place is the center of everything point
The red line is the predicted flight track, and the green line is the ground track - it's a 3-D view. Perhaps it is easier to visualize in Google Earth:
I made a brilliant move, and bought a small house in Kapellskär, in Gräado (misspelled). Any MavPilot member can visit for free, during BOTH days it is not frozen solid.
