Going for Personal Record

Maybe Milestone would be a better word.

Noticed in my flight logs I had 21 hours and ?? minutes of time. Distance figured out to about 130 miles. 153 flights. This is all Phantom 3 Pro. I do have some Bebop time, and a little bit Phantom 3 Standard time.

So since you younger fellows have to put in a hard day of walking soybeans, or picking up rocks, I decided to be retired and get my time to over 24 hours.

So this morning with I-Pad, controller and both drone batteries charged up. My battery #3 is with my Phantom Standand at my Sisters.
Out I went early.

All flight so far have been takeoffs, then go to Point of Interest and let it fly itself, then Return to Home.
Feel the slow one meter per second speed will get more miles per battery. Really I want time per battery.

Five so far. Best time is 19 minutes, 41 seconds. Worst 18:53

Could not find second charger. Pretty sure I know where it is.
So I have some time between flights.
Now see why Flying Ag equips their rigs with three batteries and two fast chargers.

Really keeping the I-Pad charged is becoming a problem. At the end of the last go around it was at 47%. So this post is letting more juice in the bank.

Set up my Drone Operation and Command Center. So I am in the shade.

47 minutes to go. Three flights
