First look, I ran into a height limit.
I just got to looking at dead trees in the cabin ditch,
a nice dead red maple woods, when the emergency red lights started flashing. I hit the home return button and nothing happened.
I flew it back in. I was smart enough to wonder about the power supply in the controller but not smart enough to charge it up as I did the flight batteries.

Did you have to override the safety? Mine has a limit of 400' above surface. Something to do with the FAA I believe. I can go higher, but I have to override and acknowledge it. Beautiful views you have. I think next time it is calm I will take mine up and get similar shots. Be neat to compare the views.

I think that I may have acknowledged the warning and thanks. On any given day I have as much traffic in the sky go by as I do traffic on the ground, zero. Thanks for turning me on to this thing.

Thanks Doug, ditches are deeper here.
Unit F was the first unit that I hacked a year ago in July so I figured it should be a good spot to look at dead trees.

Looking down.

Wowsers, I think I'd get nosebleed climbing up that high!
28' is ridiculous, I'm practicing steep down shots.
Top plot ditch, dogleg left.
I'm waiting till next summer to kill more trees.

Seems like a lot of the really good ones eventually get "goofy" -- we still like them though!

Your drone pictures are incredible. Thanks for sharing them. I’d also like to echo the previous thank you for sharing your story, experience, and updates on your work. Your pictures have helped me show my kids, father, and friends examples of what I’m trying to accomplish on my property. I appreciate you sharing them.
