RE: Draganfly iv. Anyone flew it?Control?

Did you put some lights on your helo or are you talking about mine? And yes, even though it was scary, it was rather thrilling to recover from that mess of a situation and that experience will pay off for future flights. It was so much more dramatic and suspenseful from my point of view on the ground. At one point the helo almost went below my field of view because of the roof line of the building that I was behind. I felt like Cougar in Top Gun after seeing that MIG when he was rolling left and right on his approach to the carrier except I didn't have a wingman to help bring me back.

[X(] When I finally did get it back close to me, I was wanting to land on the ground so bad to make it complete but as you saw, after a few approaches and flybys, I was concerned about the battery level so I just thought, I'm not going to crash this thing at less than 5 ft after what I just went through. So I just landed in my hand and went to the house!
