My First Drone
A little over a month ago, I bought my first drone. It was a fairly inexpensive one, and as such did not have all of the "bells and whistles" that I would have liked.
My Second Drone
While the first drone got me "hooked", it was missing a lot of features that I was looking for and that would be easier to maneuver. With the help of a friend, I made the decision to purchase the DJI Flip drone.
B & O Trail Construction
Ever since we bought the house in 1996, there has been talk of extending the B & O Trail through Marion County. Finally, they started working on it behind our house earlier this year. Right now, it is just gravel, but once they get the major project done at Country Club Road, then they will pave it as the rest of it is to the west of us.
Return To Home (RTH) Failure
First note that the "failure" was not the fault of the drone. It was completely mine. Even though I had watched several videos and realized that the settings for the low battery, signal loss and RTH features were important and could need to be changed according to the circumstances. I remember thinking to myself that I should remember to do this when I go back through the B & O Trail behind my house as the area has a lot of trees. I forgot to make any such adjustments and even "froze" and didn't do any cancelation steps. The result is the video below.
