climate change and natural disasters

I have to agree with you on that.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 2-17 04:21
I have to agree with you on that.

here in Greece athens 2 days ago the temperature was 22 degrees Celsius warm and in one after it was snowing and the temperature dropped -2 degrees Celsius
now the weather is 10 degrees Celsius and it is sunny

Nice video George,  how did the Mini cope with the cold temperatures and snow, was your flight time reduced at all?

Hi ChrisJG,
I started with 99% battery and in 12 minutes of flight the battery reached 55%
to mention that before I started the flight I had warmed up the battery and it was a hover for a minute and then I started the flight
the temperature was 1 degree celsius and it was throwing snowflakes, it was very foggy and then it put some light air and I landed the mini
Thank you for watching

Thank yous for the info. Made a flying visit to Athens last October, was stunned at just how massive the city is.
Piraeus was enormous too.
I’ll look out for your videos!
Thanks,
