Hi All
Had my third day out with my Diatone GT2 today
Getting better flying LOS but had a few spills into long grass. Usually covered my disarm switch and the worst things were a slightly bent prop and lost shrink wrap from one rx antenna. The long weed/grass almost acted as a sefety net at times although had to unravel motors a couple of times.
Struggling with FPV as when flying on my own in long scrub grass field im worried about losing my drone but it didnt eject the battery once. With FPV goggles on I was also worried about hitting myself when taking off. This was mainly due to the fact that I was flying alone and felt a bit disorientated and nervous at lift off. I started the drone about 30ft away but there was a breeze and quite a strong low sun. Do you think I will get used to my EV100 goggles as Im afraid I bust the budget buying everything at once and cannot afford an upgrade at the moment
Any FPV tips would be welcome
Low point was dropping and losing a prop nut as I was packing up. (no spares but ordered when I got home)
Respect to all you competent pilots out there I am now getting an idea how much time and effort it requires
P.S. whats the best way to clean dirty motors ?
