Drone 101

[old phart]

Just got a drone. Tried flying it about this AM. Lots of fun. Can't wait to find a nice open field to park the Aston in and do some better quality work. Pardon the rough editing.

And for you folks who are quick to comment on everything in the background. Yes that one tree is dead. Just haven't finished taking it out. Lawn is dead on purpose. In California and really having to cut back on watering. Have drip going to plants and trees but letting grass die.

I'm more worried that your front plate doesn't look centred.

Is it a dji phantom?

DJI Phantom 2 Vision. Discontinued model. That's how I talked my wife into it. Plate is off center. Got a ticket for no plate and had to get a bracket. Just didn't want it centered. Might change it in a month or so to see how I like it.
Drone is really stable in flight. Had played with some less expensive models and they were a bit twitchy. Not a problem with this one.

Excellent.

You said you are learning, but appeared to fly very close to your P & J. Very confident.

Is that a golf buggy on the driveway. Not quite as streamlined as your DB9. -

I wondered why your neighbours across the road, are all behind a wire fence.

We are often envious of U.S. cars not requiring front number plates, but presumably in California, you are required to have them.

The golf buggy is my DD. Small town. About a mile across N-S and E-W.
Neighbors behind fence is an elementary school. Wife used to teach there and had shortest commute in town
Was pulled over for speeding but he said he'd let me off for that but had to justify the stop so got me for no front plate.
