Good Flights, where the P2V performed exactly as it should.
My first real Phantom 2 Vision flights today, in our severe 75 degree
winter weather. A beautiful day, about 7 liftoffs and landings, with
3 return-to-home (failsafe) landings, recovering control on the 3rd RTH.
The P2V behaved well, with 9 to 11 GPS satellites locked.
Easy to fly in Vision mode, but it does not need to be very far
away for one to lose any sense of depth perception... as in
will it hit the wall, lamp post, tree, etc. I can see that FPV will
be important here, needing better Android screen brightness
in sunlight, and possibly a hood. Even with the sun behind me,
it was difficult to see the video.
In all, a fun start, and I an so very pleased to join the many others
of you very helpful Phantom 2V Fliers.
Thanks for your encouragement, and kindness.
Cheers, Gary
