So, today i didn't get to fly, because this morning the wind was just howling, and now the wind is gone but it's dark. I feel like the day is a waste....Got me to wondering...how often does everybody fly? daily? weekly? monthly? granted, to me this is a new hobby and i'm super excited about it....plus i have a new drone that Ive only flown about 4 times. but i go to bed looking forward to the next flight, and i wake up looking at the weather and wind conditions. does that sound common amongst all new pilots or should i seek a therapist! LOL

If you keep the drone close, you can certainly fly at night. At least many of us do... The drones LED diodes are great for visual orientation & location.

I know that night flights are considered against some country regulations. So is jaywalking, but that can injure you. Though, Not night flights. ;-)


Just don't fly over people or bother the 'hood in which you call home. Go to a vacant park or near sports field, and have a ball...

As well, your onboard flight SIM can be a great way to beat the night time blues. Inclement weather can also be clubbed into submission. Haha

I've not tried the on board flight simulator yet....sounds fun!

Haha Jason, you remind me of me.  I fly every day I possibly can.  Sometimes 2-3 times a day.  

What I do in the off time is mess with my videos, add music, overlay telemetry, peruse Amazon or eBay looking for whatever it is I might or might not need, and tinker with my AC - check the props, clean the battery contacts, etc etc etc.  I'm a drone-a-holic.  I need help.  :-(

awesome! I'm glad I'm not alone! I just got in from a flight, changing batteries and then going out for a different mission! Fun stuff!!
