Fail safe test flight

[Brian Harvey]

I wanted assurance that my upgraded firmware worked on the P3P so I tied some strong lightweight nylon cord to the landing leg and launched.
Some 30 feet of it and tied to my belt loop.

Worked a charm as I did various manoeuvres.

Landed and untied it and all good.

There is a whole industry developing around tethered UAV's --- no FAA regs here.
