Flew two flights today with the DJI Spark. Nothing impressive in flying characteristics or scenery - just a former coworker that needed a video roof inspection.
I'm still considering getting a higher-level camera drone, and taking the professional level license test.Comment

It's Thanksgiving, and my birthday, so a trip to the SAGE field was in order. Two flights with the Sensei again, and one each with the Cherokee and Calypso. The Cherokee is still quite responsive at 60% low rate, but much less nerve-wracking than the previous two flights with full rates. I did a few touch-and-go passes with the Sensei on its second flight today, and they were much more touch-and-go instead of crash-and-dash. It's nice to see improvement in my flying skills. Weather was reasonable. Minimal wind under overcast skies. Temperature was about 55 F when I arrived, and the photo of the thermometer is from right before I headed home.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone, whether you get some air time today, or just have a nice day with family and food.Comment

The P15 Lippisch flew like a champ today. So did the V22 Osprey. Both were maiden flights. The Mig 15 needs a bigger battery shoved all the way forward. It just flopped tail heavy into the ground. The Vampire needs work to. It wouldn't take off from the grass runway strip. Overall ot was a good day. We had a good turn out today.Comment

Wing hinge upgrades are recommended, if flying 200+ mph.Originally posted by Pauly View PostComment

Flew my Carbon Cub Saturday and almost lost her 3 x in one flight. Kept losing signal I think.
First it did not respond after takeoff, then it stabilized and rocked the wings as if to let me know I had control again like it found the virtual fence. Same thing happened 2 more times as I was trying to get it back on the runway. No response, a brief unusual attitude and recovery. Problem is, GPS was off - I seldom use anything but Advanced Mode and only demo the auto land on occasions for newbies.
gPS controller of reciever?Comment

Hey TiredIronGRB, your picture looks just like my flying yesterday here in Central Indiana. I flew my Carbon Cub and my Conscendo Advanced in the fog too. Although your visibility was twice as good as mine was here! The Conscendo got out of sight once, high, but I got it out quickly with full down. I flew yesterday because the weather is going to be rainy and windy here for a while, so you go when you can. Flew the Conscendo when it was snowing last week. By the way, what are those white markers in front of the Cub?
