John Conrad · Mar 30, 2017

Windy day (I would estimate over 25mph with higher gusts) but I did my best!

I always check my Hover app before flying, which states that the area of my flight was recreational rules, which states that drones must stay below 400 feet and in line-of-sight, which I made sure I was.

Thank you for watching!

Nice, smooth video. Shows how massive those old Spanish fortifications were.

Yes! And the value of holding Puerto Rico because of its strategic location (one of the first islands sailors would encounter on the journey from Europe).

That is class D airspace right down to the ground and is within the 5 mile radius of SIG.
You may want to learn how to read Sectional Charts even if you aren't going to get your 107.
