First Flight - First Selfie - First "Gotta Have - Gotta Do" List

Orin · Apr 11, 2016

Went up to the hunt club lands for my first flight and I was amazed with just how steady the Solo is with winds at 5-8 MPH with gust from 12-15 MPH. I forgot to turn on the camera until around 5 minutes into the first flight so you don't have to see the boring video of me getting used to flying the Solo..

Videos are all raw, unedited and how steady they are, considering the winds, is really amazing.

Gotta Have & Gotta Do List:
1) More batteries
2) More batteries
3) Backpack or hard case
4) Improve landing - controlling Solo at low altitude

First Flight - After I remembered to turn on the camera.....

First Selfie

2nd Flight - Had to cut short because battery dropped to 25% just before I hit the RTH button

Don't forget to set your A and B buttons to Fly:manual and practice, practice, practice. You should take off and land in that mode as a rule.

Yes, you're right - I know I need a LOT of practice but I was amazed at just how easy it was to fly and how steady it was with the wind gust.
