No chance down here for the past few days, and it doesn't look to be getting much better

I must admit these look really fun, but with the wind we have had for the last week or so, I don't know just how much flying time I would be able to muster!

The wind seems to be bad all over at the moment. I was hoping to get out on Sunday but 60mph gusts put paid to that idea.

Haven't completed a maiden flight just yet because i'm still trying to get my head around the correct transmitter settings, don't want it flying of I will take some pics and put them up. Cheers Kev

I live too close to an airport to make me jump at this hobby (or justify the cost) some of the photo's and vids that can be taken are fantastic. maybe when I have more spare time to attribute to it I'll take the plunge

Just got a DJI Phantom 3 PRO 2 weeks ago and it's brill. Easy to fly and great video. Got a whole load of extra kit to go with it. The app is great for fpv. It stores all your flight data just like a black box on a plane so you can review everything from wind speed to where the controls were. Google earth overlays. It's so cool. Just been taking it steady learning to fly and messing about with the video and photo setting. Will try to upload some footage.

Nice bit of flying there. Did you have it on altitude hold during the filming? I also thought you was planning on landing it in the boot of your car.
