Tic Tac flights

[Koala Tails]

A short drive from my home is small pond, its best feature is that it’s rare to find anybody there.

I’m still not comfortable flying over water, when editing this I realised I was too worried about Tic Tac swimming, to concentrate on smooth turns.

Ummm... this from your SD card? Or cache?

SD card. I had trouble uploading, as a work around I did a screen record of the edit. Still wouldn’t upload! By the time I got it sorted I had multiple versions. I used the wrong 1.

I did more than think, about flying under the bridge in my previous video. This was the result.

Good idea to abort that mission. Good video of the reflections and ducks in slo-mo. I would consider flying over water but not until I get flotation gear.

Thanks Graywoulf. I plan to revisit that pond, but not try to fly under the bridge. After the event I realised how dumb an idea it was. I probably would have lost all GPS, the metal in the concrete could screw up the compass, too far into the tunnel the controller signal may be blocked causing a RTH.
I was sooo lucky!
Flying over water is not difficult, what helps to keep the anxiety level down is to, check everything is perfect before flying, keep the altitude reasonable, don’t stretch the battery life.

Wise to abort that mission... however, at least it was relatively dry under there....

Dont go trough tunnels koala or under bridges. Check my other videos i even fly over seas. Over water should not be a problem i think

Thanks for the advice
