I got the nerve up to try a Litchi mission flight several weeks ago in anticipation of a trip to the Texas Hill Country. It was a short flight but still unnerving to see that white bird go out of sight.
I created several missions using VLM and Google Earth in anticipation of this trip. Yesterday I flew a 15 minute, two mile mission at Enchanted Rock State Park. It made a complete circle around and I launched on the roadside outside of the park. Something is unnatural to send that Phantom where you loose contact with it for about 10 minutes total. It was nice to hear that buzz getting louder as it came closer. I had 43% battery left. I got some what I think to be some fine video but have to wait till I get back home to start editing. I'll post a link in a couple of days. ...
