    Flight Log 14: Cross

    Came across a cross. It looks small but it’s made from telephone poles.

  • Flight Log 13: Another Night Flight

    Flight Log 13: Another Night Flight

    After yesterday’s high wind nighttime disaster, I needed a comeback. My quadcopter redemption arc. The sequel to my origin story. An aerial revenge fantasy. I needed, to fly again without drama. And that’s what we did, friends. A nice peaceful flight over the neighborhood park. At night.

    Flight Log 12: Gone With the Wind

    Flight 12 was perilously close to being the last flight for this drone. If I had lost it after only 12 flights, I would give up on drones altogether as it’s just too expensive, risky, and unforgiving. Anyways, I wanted to record the 4th of July fireworks (at a safe distance) but there were 13…

    Flight Log 10: Explosion

    Flight Log 9: Tower Bridge

    Going against all the best advice in the world, I flew the drone over water. Scary.

    Flight Log 8: First Morning Flight

    All my documented flights so far have been in the evening. Today was able to get out of bed early enough, but did miss the sunrise.

  • Flight Log 7: Just Parallel Lines.  Mostly.

    Flight Log 7: Just Parallel Lines. Mostly.

    Another flight above farm fields. Starting to think I live near an agriculture community. If you need footage of farms, I’m your man. Love the shot of parallel lines with some S-curves in there. Wonder what happened?

    Flight Log 6: Contrails

    And just like that, I realized you can pivot the camera gimbal upward. Thank you Mr. Airplane Pilot. I see you. We are both men of the sky.
