Lunch Practice Log: 2016-10-2

Skills Update

Per the previous post, I’ve gotten a lot of familiarity with the hardware.  I’ve also been noticing some differences in flying with the different batteries.  I think I’m going to simply go for a bunch of ONE battery type and use that as my main battery so I can just tune the remote and call it a day.

Hovering I’m getting better.  I’ve noticed that this thing likes to bounce, like a lot.  It’s really hard to get it to hold position on the Z axis, but I’m getting better at at least holding steady along X & Y.

Today I also did some practice flying between two points, doing a 180 between.  Getting descent there.  I’m also working more on flying with elevation, and landing at specific points.  I have to say I did REALLY well on these bits, compared to a week ago.

Also: Looks like two more batteries and that will cover my full 30 minute break, so 5 is the goal.

Ham Update

I’ve been busy this weekend and haven’t had a chance to do much.  Currently sitting at 24% proficiency on the flash cards.  Probably will buy the book this week
