As with all things...there are 'firsts'. And today, another 'first' happened....................First Flight
After all the 'little things' finally got themselves ironed-out, we are off the ground(although it was just the backyard, so not serious flight other then up and down took place)!
The video!!!!
I learned a lot of little things about this first four minute flight:
*The flight controls definitely have a 'feel' to them
*The slider on the backside of the Futaba certainly doesn't feel like it moves as fast as it does(I need to move it much slower to keep people from 'falling-out-of-the-seats' while watching)
*GPS works great!(not much wind at all this morning....but when I did get a slight breeze, it stayed right where it was supposed to)
*Editting sucks!(sorry, all I have is the stuff that came with the laptop and I need to find better music-cause no one wants to hear 'props')
*I see props....not sure what to do about this yet? But I'm sure there is an answer to that(more searching and reading)
*I did not see 'jello'...WOOHOO!!!!
I have questions, but I'll ask those somewhere else. Most dealing with time of flight safety, battery levels, and editting of the videos. Thanks for watching, always interested in any comments!
