My first reaction to the question is naturally, don't fly so far out that you can't see the bird to determine orientation. Visual line of sight is more than just words, it's actually a good practice. Or, bet as much as you can afford to lose, that being your inspire. But, it's also a good idea to learn the telemetry of the app too. It is there to aid you in flight. Not sure if the simulator is up and running with the I2 yet, but that's a great place to learn everything about flying within the app. But take it a step further in the simulator. Rather than just learn instrumentation to get you around and to show you orientation, fly the sim bird out far but still close enough to see it and spin it around without looking. Then try to get it back using only the sticks and what you see the bird doing. That'll teach you how to understand orientation by how the bird is reacting by looking at it and nothing else. But seriously, if you almost lost it in a river because you hit critical battery for lack of navigating back in the correct direction, you should absolutely not be flying beyond visual line of sight yet. Smart modes be dammed, don't rely on them. Take it slow and just fly closer to see the bird. Good luck. |
