Hi to all the respected Members !

WOW ! WOOOOOW ! WOOOOOOOAHHHH !!!! ??? ( I am sorry. I HAD to do this ! ) ?

WELL, after weeks of preparing, windy days waiting, days of rainy despair, and many many many tries....
I succeeded in my personal aim.
To reach the summit of a mountain that I see since I was born, in my home town, in Aosta Valley ( NW of Italy, close to Mont Blanc ).
" Becca di Viou " its name. 2856 meters high above the sea, still snow covered.
I studied wind charts, asked glider pilots I know, scrutinized the skies, the clouds and the possible paths of flight.
I eventually studied the drone behaviour and especially, made battery tests.
Today early in the afternoon, I decided to give a good try.
From the image I have posted, you will see ( as I realized afterwards..) how much MAD that idea was...
Thermal zero was -11 C° @ 3000 meters, light winds about 14 km /hour.
Started my climb lightly worried, but I was confident, starting from a vantage point, everything under view, no people, just an imaginary straight line towards the summit.
I SUCCEEDED !!!! HOW GOOD. And came back ! Finally landed at 1 ( ONE ) percent battery !!
You could not see my sudden super sweaty hands, with three or four RC alarms at the same time ( wind, NFZ, battery voltage, battery percentage, battery overvoltage )..
So far, so good.
Well, I had to tell you.
GREETINGS

Firstly GRATS! I haven't done this as of yet but my intentions and wallet will soon. That’s the purchase of Phantomrain, RAIN suits made for foul weather. You mentioned the weather conditions there. I hope this aides you. My issues are odd in that although there’s plenty of rain here, often. I actually LIKE rain. Peaceful, calm, etc. Soooo... my MP2 will soon adorn a rain coat. Adds to poor flying control at times no doubt but April showers ... (btw I have NO vested interest other than being forum mates to P Rain). Just a future customer. It’s an awesome accessory IMO. (I also notice your batt % was 1%. at missions end). A true flyer! Love it. Godspeed

 

[Jay241]

LOL, love to read stories like this. Glad you drone made it back, 1% is awesome luck.

That’s an amazing flight! Congrats!!!

CONGRATUALATION!! That is an adventure you will never forget. I know the area where you live. I've spent time in Turin and would drive up to Aosta Valley. You are a fortunate man to live in such a beautiful place. And it must be a great place for drone photography.

 

[Laborous]

Congrats! Good planning results in a good flight!

 

[Cookaboorra]

Nice flight, do you have any video from the summit?

Hello! Yes, tough I am a very unexperienced beginner.
I will try to do some editing to reach an accettabile Mb weight.
Perhaps tomorrow evening....

 

[Cookaboorra]

It needed a huge cut in quality and lenght, but You could see whayìt I saw ... :-D
