In editing this shot I thought I could see something,  so I zoomed in.

And then I zoomed,  and saw this.  

A nice wave never hurt.

Always cool when people appreciate drones

I've had a couple like that with larger drones but at 380' AGL people don't even hear the MA2

I was in an altitude restricted zone, spot was any higher than 196ft.

Best to keep it low then in such areas.

It wouldn't let me go above that.  The funny thing is, it was in the same airspace as the model aircraft club and thy routinely break the 400ft limit there.

They often moan about drones but many of them break the rules from what I have seen. Glad to see that the EASA rules will place all home made model aircraft weighing >250g in the A3 category.

This place has a lot of jet powered planes and there are awesome to watch.   Theres one guy that likes to fly vertically until he stalls and then he leaves it to the last minute before he pulls up.

Not today,  I really should use it to check if the gutters need cleaning.  Then I need to clean it,   it got wet in  the fog and then I flew somewhere dusty and its got a dirty bottom now.

I just dusted off my MA2 from four flights yesterday - another 13 miles flown and not updating on my flight distance here.

I just passed the million feet mark with the M2P.

I noticed mate - congrats!

I have sadly worked out that 13.4million feet is the equivalent of flying from Big Ben to the Pyramids in Cairo LOL - thats my next target!

Far more pleasant than a 2 finger salute or a waved fist

DAFlys Posted at 9-23 02:58

May be by the new year - 400,000 feet is not achieved over night
