Rebel, that's funny but at the same time convenient, a 15 minute trip to camping. I could do the same thing, actually less than 10 minutes for me, sans the private lake. I could go another 5 minutes and hit another campground also. In fact there are two more that are less than a half hour from my house. Of course living in the woods kind of reduces the mystique of camping, I could just carry my gear to the back of my property and save the campground cost.
I can't believe your daughter is already a junior Hitt, time passes so quickly.
This drone bug is getting expensive. You have to take baby steps to get to what you'd like to eventually do and you get sidetracked by all the possibilities. Plus there are all the spare batteries you have to buy along the way since, until you get into the top shelf stuff, you're looking at 5-10 minute run times on each battery. I'm in the process of charging up over 10 batteries from three different drones I used today.
Tuesday I'm getting a simulator program in before I even think of putting the one drone in the air so I have a better chance of not breaking it right away. The one drone I bought is hobby grade capable of flying rate/acro mode which means your getting no help from gyros or altitude hold. In other words, your joy sticks are your only mode of defense against expensive repairs if you decide to run in that mode. It can be flown with gyros on which certainly stabilizes the flight although not nearly as well as having altitude hold and a gps on board. I think this would be a lot easier if I spent half my life in the gamer world because this is like a step up from that.
I did find a $30 drone that will bind to the controller from the bigger drone so I'm hoping between the sim program and the little drone I can get proficient enough to have confidence when I put my bigger money in the air. In addition, I'll have all winter to hone my skills.
