Ah, the dangers of flying LOS instead of FPV.
If you know how the rest of that line from the song goes, you'll guess the next bit.
My first oops moment just occurred. I flew LOS instead of my usual FPV, and went round behind some trees, and misjudged how far behind them I really was.
Flew neatly through the branches, trimming leaves as I went, and came out the other side unscathed. Just a few leaf stains on the props.
I guess it's back to FPV for me. As the news reports would say, "Video at 9:00"
And that wasn't even my only D'Oh moment today, I got there and found my third battery hadn't been charged. I remembered that when I'd gone to charge it last time, I'd decided it was still too hot to put on the charger, and to let it cool a bit, and then I guess I forgot and packed it in with the others. Oh well. Two learning experiences where you and your quad all come home in one piece, are always good. Never stop learning I guess.
