The Winter Freeze - Petersfield Lake

Показать описание
Woke up today to find it had stopped snowing, which meant I could venture further afield than the field by my back garden. To the lake then, which seems the obvious choice, given that Petersfield Town Council have just kindly extended my flying area until March so I can capture the wintery goodness.

So here I am, doing that.

Loads of people about, so mostly flew over the lake where they weren't, and my rigorous preflight checking paid off in that I didn't fall into the lake at any point. So that's a win, even if the footage is rubbish :) I have to admit I was chatting to people as I was flying, which resulted in me flying safely, but with no real thought for any decent cinematic moves, so I am resolved to go back at dawn at some point, and do this again.

Having said that, I'm not whinging - today's videos weren't too bad at all - a bit shaky in the ever-present wind, but at least it was only 10 mph wind today, so none of that ridiculous buffeting I had flying in the snow last time...

AC1 was still 'weatherproofed' with my Heath Robinson Bin Bag / gaffa tape solution, but today I didn't really need it. The skies were misty but mostly not snowing,

4S 5000 or 5800 mAH single packs, lifting 3.351 KG gives between 6 and 10 mins flight depending on flight style...

Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
