Skullomie

 

Got the drone in the air from Robinetta for the first time. It didn't want to get airborne because the boat was moving on her anchor. But I found out how to force it and after a test flight of 30 cm in the cabin I got her aloft. The camera was fogged again but it cleared. I'm not sure the video quality is as good as when it was new. The lense may have got some dirt in it and the gimbal sometimes lets the top of the drone get in shot.

The wind was quite strong. The drone was coping but as I brought it in to land, it was getting buffeted, or it didn't cope with the shelter from Robinetta. Landing without hitting the boom took concentration.

I need to learn to pan more smoothly too.
