Wanted to get in some fly time before the weather turned to trash, and to try out a different spot than I've been to before, as I've heard from other Pilots this particular park is ok. (Rumor has it [from other pilots I've met] the Mayor of this city thinks mini-quads are cool, and has no problem with us flying here). My only problem was, there were too many soft-targets to really "let loose" and try backwards flying, and new freestyle moves, hence why I just did a bunch of flips and rolls.
This is from a total of 6 packs that I only flew for about a minute and a half each (as I'm unsure of the power consumption with these propellers (DAL T5045) on 4s, however I feel they might be more efficient than the standard HQ 5x4x3, I'll find out when I recharge).
However this experience did give me my first encounter with RSSI issues (video signal was perfect), stick input would feel "drunk" would be how I would describe it. It was mainly behind that tree line I encounter issues, especially with my back to them, and my body blocking signal. Also that "knife edge" between the trees... yeah that was RSSI induced =D
Oh, and I took a look at the Telemetry data from my GoPro Hero 5 Black, and on that punch at the ending, hit 63mph! This is with the weight of the Hero 5 Black in a protective diving case that weighs in at around 200g, and right before I brought it back in for a fresh battery.
