Monto RC Hobby **Avroto** Motors Contest Giveaway!! Beyond the hover!

[Bartman]

Hi there!

I'm pretty new to multirotors, only been flying for about a month. But I have a project of flying a DSLR in near future, like many of us I think. So I decided to give it a shot, though I know, that I really can't compete with the Experienced and Skilled. What the heck, it was fun anyway!

The location is Helsinki, Finland, where I live at. And the place is a summer cabin or a hut more likely. In the video you can see a solar panel and I actually charged the flight batteries of my Y6 with solar energy! And there's an extra level of difficulty since my 9 month old daughter is sleeping inside the cabin and I don't want to wake her up (ofcourse I did at the end...). I'm on my fathers leave at the moment while my wife is at work so I only get to fly at afternoon nap time.

Here we go, only 9 laps. The second touch was a bit light but it was there. At the end is a collection of crashes.

Thank you for watching!

-Mika

O.K. down to the wire. I tried to strap on one of my kids dolls, but that didn't work out. I decided to start with crash role since that is how my day starts.
Enjoy

Have you ever tried uploading a video with a deadline. It always takes like two hours to upload instead of the 30 minutes. I think I started to upload at 6:30 pm PDT and had to check a few times from my phone since I wasn't at home. Not a huge deal, but since I went through a few props, it was a bit painful to think the upload would fail. Either way, it's in and I had fun putting the clip together. I didn't think I would have so many bloopers for the video, but obviously I was wrong.
