2020
2020-02-06 - Dehy Park, Independence, CA
Very windy and a rough landing. I bounced the drone on the ground when I was landing and it flipped. You can see it in the video and also when I picked it up and turned it over.
2020-01-26 - First drone flight
A little confusing to follow the instructions, and a compulsive need to be able to watch the drone itself, made it very hard to fly. In time I would come to trust what I was seeing on the controller.
