So, somewhere around 1 am this morning, I was watching a Youtube video on using waypoints to set a navigation course. Sounded interesting.
I found my house on Google maps. Turned on my controller, remote, iPhone and Phantom. I left the props on. (Can you guess where this is going?)
I went into camera view on the Vision app, and swiped over to the map. I had my home point, and set a couple of waypoints. Played with altitude on each, played with distances, etc. Basically trying to get the hang of it all.
Then I hit "Go".
What a surprise! The Phantom started to take off in my bedroom!
I didn't do the right thing, which would have been to cut the throttle. No, I reached out to grab it. From above. Cut the hell out of my hand.
Darwin would be proud.
