Outdoor Flight #1 – Parrot AR Drone 2.0

November 6, 2012


Managed to get some flight time in today (Melbourne Cup) in between races.

Typical Melbourne weather is sunny one minute, rain and blowing a gale next! Luckily for the most part the wind was around 10km/h gusts and only sporadic.

This time I used the outdoor hull only. This only protects the drone itself but leaves the propellers exposed but these are pretty flexable. I only managed to crash once on the grash with no damage sustained.

I’ve also been flying around my unit’s driveway when the weather hasn’t been raining and storming. Will post some of the video from these later.
