Re: UNOFFICIAL Vision App for Android (Unlimited GS Distance
I'm attempting to download and install on my nexus 7 now. Its raining here as well so there is no chance of a test but hopefully tomorrow I can try it out. Thank you very much man.
And I second the question....how far/long can we fly and still return safely???
I know wind speed will have an affect but what is a safe mission?
Follow me and see if my math and thinking is correct. If we travel 20mph for 15minutes which I think our birds can handle continuous flight for that long. We would have a safe distance of 5 miles round trip...I understand the bird has to slow at each way point but we should be "safe" going out 2.5 miles and returning...Heres the math I did 20mph * 15min and then divided by 60 to get the distance...
so again if I am thinking correctly you could reverse engineer that as well...lets say you want to fly a distance of 3 miles round trip and want to know how long the trip would take. The math would be 3miles * 60 then divided by 20mph(an average top speed). The total trip would take 9 minutes of continuous flight...add 30seconds for each way point (overkill) and you have a safe way to "tell" if your flight is within the limits of your birds battery.... I hope this makes sense,lol...
