Hi there and thanks for your message.
Is it 'possible' to do what you mention ... Yes it is. In fact, that is exactly what you see in the video in all the jungle shots. I had no GPS signal at all, none, nada. Needles to say I was extremely nervous and my palms were sweating profusely.
So is it possible, sure it is, but I would not recommend it unless you have an extremely good handle on your craft and have full confidence in your ability. There are plenty of variables in those cases and the risks are huge. If the worst case scenario is you losing your craft, I would say go for it if the reward is worth the risk. However, if there are other risks such as potentially harming people, you really need to think twice.
In the end, it comes down to your confidence in flying in those conditions. Survey the site very carefully beforehand and try to find an escape route if things don't go as planned.
For 5-10 minutes, I would probably do it, but for 2 hours as you mention, not a chance, unless the payout at the other end is significant.
Hope this helps. Cheers. |
