First Flights With my New P3A
Post Body

https://youtu.be/ldkZLDbCL-o

This was technically my second flight, the first one was at the same location (a local 9 hole golf course) but it was much windier and in my excitement I skipped over the "hit record" in my preflight checklist. This flight was on a much more beautiful day anyway. Max altitude ~150ft.

This flight was at the local high school. I was hoping the lines would still be painted from football season but no such luck, I still like the way the climb up to ~360ft turned out though. The descent is boring, I was kind of struggling to get it to come down and paranoid that I'd accidentally push the throttle all the way down and shut the motors off.

Going to edit some stuff together when I get a chance but I was excited to have some videos and wanted to share them and see if anyone had any advice for me. I want to eventually get some ND filters, and I need to stop shooting in auto mode, but any advice for flying, camera settings, etc, would be welcome.
