Luck! It's not found, but the gift-giver bought the "insurance," and fly-away is covered. So, if the wind is getting bad and you're having trouble, LAND NOW, don't worry about flying into a clear space, just land. A crash is better than a fly-a-way.

Took a walk thinking perhaps it didn't go as far as I thought. Frightened the neighborhood watch people 'cause I was barefoot. Here's a tip: Most burglars wear shoes.

Thought I'd try getting some good shots of the train garden. A light breeze was blowing. I went into the middle of the older section, when the wind picked up. Should have landed. I turned around and tried to get low. Now the wind was really blowing. "Ok, get above all these bushes and trees then...

Might have nice enough weather to get out for a while today. Was oddly gusty the other day and after a couple mishaps, I went back in. The train layout is quite extensive, and we were doing some major rework when the owner got sick last summer. He's doing better now. I'm his train helper and...

I came out of hibernation for a while and got my quad into the air yesterday for a few minutes.

Oh, hi, Will. I was wondering "names will what?"

Your smartphone will say "no internet" on any wifi device that isn't a router providing internet, like a printer or your drone. I haven't tried flying mine with the smart phone, just use it to see the video and start or stop the camera. I fly it with the transmitter. The wifi range seems pretty...

I edited together some clips from the day after the other video. Was not one of my best days out :D

What a place!

Not really a dog person myself, though I don't have anything against them. I have a rather unconventional living arrangement and live with an ancient and aggressive Pit Bull who will lick any intruder to within an inch of his life and a Siberian Husky who doesn't realize that a Siberian Husky is...

Weather (and the flu) haven't been conducive to barefoot idiots outside, so I'm stuck inside with my two micro drones.

If I let it get very far away, I can't figure out which way it's facing and can be hard to fly back. Stay close. Landed one of my microdrones in the neighbors yard. Thought I saw where, but after half an hour of searching, I gave up. Walking back, figuring I'd lost it, I nearly tripped over it...

With new propellers, they both behave themselves quite nicely.

Oh! I knew I was on this forum before!

So THAT's my problem?:p

My mom's quaker parrot HATES quadcopters. Guess how I know

Now you have me in your forum. I'm an unemployed software and electronics dude (or maybe dud) who plays with trains. I used to be an R/C airplane and helicopter flier. I've had tiny and nearly useless quadcopters for years. Somebody gave me a Propel Tilt for Christmas. Flies nice! Easier than...
