Subject: Much Better

Much Better

First off the camera not being centered.
I have been up several times without the SD Card. So after the first flight I put in back in the slot.

Then did the Format. As about always I had to do a bit of looking to find it.
Then right after that was the first flight with the camera off by about 30 degrees.

So I got to thinking that maybe there is a adjustment for the horizontal camera angle.
And maybe I pushed the wrong deal.

So in the house I put the drone into Simulation. Looked over the camera menu stuff pretty good. Could not find anything.

Then I noticed the camera was aimed straight ahead, like it is supposed too.

Next I exited simulation. Took the drone, controller and I-Pad outdoors. Propeller still not on.

Drone on, controller on, app running.
Ready to go. Did the startup, both sticks to the rear and inward.
All four electric motors spinning, and the camera looking straight ahead.

Stopped. Power off. Then installed four new props.
To a open area. And made a flight. Everything seems to be normal.

But why did the camera made those two flights looking off to the left about 30 degrees?
Are drones like Chevys = They heal?

I fully know how to use the deal at the lower left of the screen telling you the direction the drone is facing.
Also the deal lower right with a Google Earth overlay, also showing a lot about location, direction to the home point, flight path.
How to switch the lower right deal and the camera view. Making the craft’s location on the map overlay bigger and easier to see.
This is on a I-Pad Mini. Other devices may be different.

I watch craft height, vertical speed up or down.
Horizontal speed, distance from the home point, and if the distance is increasing or decreasing.

I feel I could fly without being able to see the drone. But we cannot do that.

Well I hope my Phantom 3 is OK. And I can put off that Phantom 4 purchase.
You fellows at Flying Ag can make your next boat payment on somebody else’s checker book.
