Its been too cold of late in our neck of the woods in the UK to go flying. So, okay, call me a wimp you pilots in Siberia or wherever else it is cold, but I do like flying in comfortable conditions.
I have struggled out of my hibernation stasis and dusted off the cobwebs on the 3A. I charged the controller and a/c battery and connected the rig up with the wi-fi.
After a few minutes I decided to check the firmware versions.
Only after a few minutes the a/c updated to firmware version 1.10.90 without me doing anything but downloading the zip file, but on firing up the a/c for a systems check sans props. on the lounge floor, the Go app told me that one or more props were not present.
This has me distinctly worried that this could be similar to the ‘Rise of the machines’ from Terminator. The next thing I know next doors UAV will be flying over to arm the 3A with some plasma weapon to reduce the neighbourhood to a pile of smoking rubble.
This might not be so bad for Mrs. Xxxxx up the road because she always looks like a bulldog that has swallowed a wasps nest, with a temperament to suit. Sorry, I digress.
So, out of curiosity, how does the system know there are no props on the a/c. and will it be telling me what to do next?
Here’s to the warmer UK weather and I hope you all have many successful flights in 2017 wherever you are.
