Maiden flight with the P3, awesome. Much more response than the P2 for sure and the camera is way cool. So after a few prelim flights at sunset I decide to shoot some city lights in the dark.
Green for lift off but soon a compass error. Went into Atti mode and some big gusts of wind in combination with the twitchiness of the P3's increased power almost had me crashing into some trees. Thank God I practiced many a moon with the X5C. Got it down and power cycled.
Lift off and all is good. Beautiful city lights and clouds in the distance. When landing some woman with a Russian accent pulls up in front of my house and yells, "do you have a permit". I said I don't need one. Then she accuses me of being a spy and she's ashamed I'm her neighbor (not sure where she lives around here). I said something about she should go back to her home country and she said she'd be back with a shotgun.
Well other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how'd you like the play. Boys, we have an uphill battle.
Edit: Oh, and I was at least 400' up for the duration.
