First flight with the Typhoon H today. Did all of the calibrations and removed the camera.
Not really sure why I was so scared. Maybe I read too many horror stories. I read the book and watched a lot of videos from Jeff and the Captain. I printed out a checklist and checked it twice. Pressed the red button and she started up. Started my ascent and I WAS FLYING!
Did not go over a hundred feet nor did I let it get over a hundred feet away. I tried lots of different maneuvers and everything went just as planned. I am so glad that I bought this. I can't wait to start taking videos and photos!
I do have a couple of questions. First is marking the aircraft. For today I wrote my name, phone number, and "reward if found" on a piece of paper and taped it to the leg. Sure would like a more professional looking solution. Also if I get my part 107 will the aircraft have to have numbers?
The other question is about no fly zones. I have an airport 4.9 miles from my house. It has a grass runway and is used by the local sky diving club on nice days. Other days, such as today, no one is there. Should I try to call them every time I fly? Of course today no one was there so I got an answering machine.
Many thanks to everyone on the forum who answered newbie questions and gave helpful suggestions along this journey. I am sure that is smile will be a little less noticeable once I get used to all of this fun!
