I managed to fly, perform basic maneuvers and land with no problems.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Enough snow melted so I could find some grassy areas and the wind died down – so I figured it was time to overcome my nerves and fly this thing. A long, long time ago I flew Radio Control airplanes and helicopters – and remember a lot of happenings (crashes?). This drone is much easier to control than what I remembered from the past. Much easier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, here is my first photograph (that looks like anything other than a test shot). I was 50 meters ( 165 feet) above our back yard and facing southeast toward Ocean City, Maryland. The high-rise buildings of Condo Row (just right of center) are about five miles away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
