<font size="5" face="Comic Sans MS">I had it all planned out.
Launch one drone on a programmed flight that would go to 200' and
just sit there like a good target. I had planned for a video shot
with the gimbal pointed down to catch the chase machine coming up
to intercept. The chase machine was to be manual control the
whole time.<br>
<br>
How it went. The target machine would not execute the pre planned
mission, so I flew it up to 200' and parked it in the sky (hands
off hover in place). Of course I forgot to tilt down the gimbal
and turn on the video on till later. The chase machine was
already to go and connected so I put down the target machine
control and picked up the chase machine controller and flew it up
to 200' indicated and close as my old eyes would safely allow.
My new sunglasses flip up reading glass rig only made the sun
glare on the screens brighter. I never saw the other machine on
the down link video so I shotgunned around as the cameras were
running. For about 3 minutes of video from each machine I did
manage to catch a 1 second view from the target 's video and about
2 seconds from the chase. Basically they were almost white
blurs. I will try to edit and present on TacoZoom. I need screen
hoods, better antennas and a 24 year old's eye site. Standing in
the shade would be nice too....</font>
