It landed. I shut down the motors. Had Visual. Didn't want to re-start. I can always use an annoying steep climb up a cinder cone. I could have taken the road, but the car was quite some distance as well. It was a nice open landing area. So I do not bother anymore. Just yesterday I was considering landing near a dynamic photo opportunity. I am a geologist, so I am out in the middle of nowhere a lot. The BNSF railroad runs nearby and over an impressive cross gorge span. Well the trains run infrequenltly and they are moving along at a decent clip when they run. So Ideally I would like to drop the drone on the ground near the span, vice fly it back to my location, a 5 min transit. No humans for 25 kilometers in all directions. Yet after my other experience, I have no desire to land it out of my short walking distance. This is what it looks like from my aircraft. I can at least chase the trains down with it, aspect from the air is not quite the same as the drone.
