I have an Inspire 1 on order but it will be some weeks before it arrives. Meanwhile, I am planning some video and camera shoots and would appreciate advice from current owners or those others familiar with the Inspire 1.
1. Flying along a (flat) river.
There are some locations in pretty countryside where I'd like to do this. I'd assume that the Inspire would keep its heaight above the water normally and where the river is pretty much flat there should be little risk of a dunking. Height above water is notoriously difficult to judge by eye, let alone by video. I know there are no guarantees, but should I reasonably expect the Inspire to maintain its height above the flat water and what would be a reasonable minimum safe height?
2. Flying uphill
This is the converse of the previous question, pretty much.
There is a lovely stately home at the top of a hill, overlooking a lake. I'd like to launch near the lake and fly uphill to the home. To what extent would ground effect affect a low level flight up the hill?
