flew yesterday along the coast opposite / parallel to Shelburne , had to stay away from the helipad , only got out to 500m down the shoreline , you should be able to get out to 400m easily and get a view of the island !Was probably no more than 50m out. I really want to fly out to that small island in the background tho! Would guess its around 1km out.
I am used to it already... Flew many times and it's like flying over a park.View attachment 86650 Flew for the first time over water......and it was as nerve wracking as my first flight over land!!!

If it falls in the forest, you might find it, I can understand that.I may or may not have been out to 1200m over forest, but this water thing is scary for some reason!
Thats probably it.......if it falls in the forest there is hope of finding it, if it falls into the ocean, i will know where it is........but no hope or point to recovery!! LolIf it falls in the forest, you might find it, I can understand that.
First time I flew an airplane over open Ocean, I sweated a lot.
Not really if you fly over a public park at the right time where you don't see people around. Chance are, the only property lost will be your phantom in case it felt down.Personally I feel safer flying over water. If the P3 goes down its gone but there's little chance that someone got hurt, property was damaged or I'll be sued.
