Yesterday took the quad up to a sheltered quarry (as it was windy) and let it accidentally venture around a corner and out of sight (concentrating on dji go app). Remembering the advice I'd received, I flew straight up to find it..... and into the gusty wind. Away from me! Rth wasn't quick enough so I lined the compass up and belted full throttle home and managed to land ok. Although it was clear to see it was fighting the gusts.
Today and I've been practicing low altitude, in a large open field. All going well, concentrating on keeping a good 2-3m altitude I was doing well until a tree jumped out in front of the quad! We crunched and fell into a large muddy puddle. Quick rescue and fired it up straight away to blow away excess liquid, which worked. A short hover and tail between my legs, returned home a little wiser.
Cleaned the motor out with cotton buds, wd40, paper towels and the hoover for the big lumps. Couple of test flights and I think I got away with it.
Phew!
