My flight

[DevildogSoldier]

Took a chance and ran her up to a grand yesterday...

First battery went without a hitch, and the view is amazing!

Second battery, well she just didn't want to come down. I used nearly the entire battery on the decent. First VRS scared the living s--- out of me. Then had a few more VRS-bouts on the way down, between 800' and 500' AGL.

I was traveling a steady 18-20 mph forward during the entire decent, and my VS was at or about 1-2 ft/sec. So I'm confused as to why I was still getting the VRS-shake. Any ideas?

Video to follow...

Come down slow. Where is the vid?

Good train of thought .... Forward motion and decent at same time, decide the rate of normal devide by two as 1/2 the energy is in going forward. For a faster decent only down. Just my two cents. Youraw!

As promised... this is the first battery.

Hey DDS !
What App are you using to get that telemetry on your video? Also what record app are you suing? I never saw that kind of info on any screen ! Very Cool !

Ken's "DJI Ultimate Flight w/GS" app on android. Spits out the the telemetry to use in dashware. I think the work these guys do is nothing short of phenomenal.
