I got a chance to head downtown and hit a spot I've flown a couple times at a public sculpture field.  It's a pretty awesome spot with a ton of awesome stuff to fly around in various sizes and shapes.  The crazy part is the wind was holding steady at probably 20-30 mph and gusting up to like 40 or 50!  I also my Hero 7 had the shutter settings on auto, and it was doing some funky stuff, so pardon the weird stuttering in the footage.  The partial cloud cover seemed to be messing with the settings. I probably just need to fix the shutter speed, but I always notice that stuff after I've already recorded!  The wind was insane. There was a couple of times I thought I might actually get blown over where I was standing on top of the hill. I had to brace myself into the wind.  The drone handled it pretty well all things considered.

By the way, I added a base tune to the Betaflight presets as well as an HD OSD layout for DJI Goggles 2 and my rates. If you search for me under the authors in the pesets tab you'll see them.  I was flying all three presets here, though don't judge too harshly with the shutter issues and the wind :P The tune preset is designed to be a good base point for most mid-weight freestyle quads, and then allow minor tweaking for final tuning as needed.  Feel free to check it out and share any feedback.  They are currently marked as Experimental, but they should be solid for most folks. Once I have more feedback we'll see about moving them to the Community flag.

Anyway, I enjoyed a good rip around the sculpture field! The cops who were hanging out in the parking lot didn't give me any trouble fortunately, and I actually got more packs in at one go than I've gotten in a while. Had to cut out some good stuff to get the video down to a decent length. I've gotten too used to editing from one pack! Happy flying!
