Flight paths from yesterday

As promised, here are images of the flight paths from yesterday.

Out-and-back flight reaching 7.25 km linear distance from home. Pilot Mountain is marked in the upper-right corner. Colors indicate flight modes; green is the auto flight out, purple at the end is a small guided-mode addition to increase flight distance, and pink is return to launch. County lines are denoted in light blue so, as you can see, we just barely made it into 3 counties in one flight. This flight was preceded by a 4.5 km out-and-back flight, not shown.

The latter portion of our copter flying, showing takeoff, a short flight out with return to launch (red), followed by entrance into the autonomous flight of a grid.

  1. We need to program in a flight path giving a W - F - U in Google earth visualization. Seriously though, that rivals MK. Just need to tone down the way point acceleration and keep yaw locked.

    1. Marcus, I like that idea. It would make for good presentation material, and it would also serve as a good flight path test to verify the acceleration settings when approaching/departing from waypoints.
