Flying over Downtown Atlanta, new Falcons stadium, Westin

tclark333 · Jul 30, 2016

I started out flying over the new Falcons stadium, but as soon as I got over it, my GPS signal dropped to almost nothing. Not sure if it was because of all the metal or what, but the drone was drifting too much so I didn't want to get too close.

Next I wanted to fly by some of the taller buildings, but security guards approached me where I was flying. They didn't have a problem with what I was doing, but they wanted to talk about the drone and everything so I wasn't able to focus on what I was doing. I was able to get a good shot of the Westin, but I'll have to try again when I'm not being so distracted.

Great flight anyway. I have to travel at least 50 miles to find anything more than trees, and traffic.

I have been looking to install a signal extender on my remote, much as you have. Can you tell me the one you use, or if you recommend another one. Thanks.
