A bit scary but this was my first ever waypoint mission in litchi

I was quite nervous about sending this off on its own, had run two missions in the open field as a test beforehand and all went smoothly so decided to give it a go. I did notice the other thread with the drone flip during a litchi mission which is a shame, but for me all went smoothly thankfully.

Sorry about the twisting at the end, for some reason I feel more comfortable descending with some forward speed.

You're right at descending while going forward, so you can avoid the Vortex Ring State.

Make sure you do the right calculation when planning for autonomous flying.

Make sure  ...

Thanks i figured it was probably best to do so, I planned all the missions offline and used google maps to calculate the route and the altitudes, then before i ran the missions i manually flew a rough route to double check the hights.

That went very smoothly. Do you plan height as well, or just use the left stick as it flys along?

Nice scenery.

i planned the height to climb in between the waypoints as i wasnt sure if id lose signal when it passed round the far side of the copse. Signal was solid throughout though.

Heres a video that may help flying over terrain that rises and lowers.
