I'll fly with gusts up to 25 mph....but all maneuvers are done a lot slower than calm conditions. And no mixed maneuvers like spinning while descending etc. just purposeful flying.
Unfortunately Steve, he (Andy) has a point. I'm not a pilot and I'm just as new a UAV operator as you. You're right he doesn't know the steps you took to go to fly 1600 AGL however, I can guarantee you did not contact the FAA for permission because they would not allow that to happen, especially to a beginner UAV operator like myself or you. There is absolutely no business being up that high. Don't ruin this hobby or the future of UAVs for everyone else. Good luck in your future flights and please reconsider before flying at 1600 AGL.And it only takes one ******* to make an ignorant statement in response. You have no clue what my background is, where I flew, or what prior prep I took before I made that flight. What other aircraft I fly or what licencing I have, or what insurance I might have. So next time you want to pretend to strut around like youre something special, remember that there is always someone with more of everything you have.. and that someone might just happen to be they guy you are crying about.
