    Warning Objects on ground are closer than they appear!!

    Nicely done! I'm wondering if you banged your prop on some of those flowers!!!

    You're right this would be a nice sticker on a GoPro
    The second flight over those blowballs is not shown but there I hit some of them with my left wing so my prop did probably also cut some of them.


    I hope next time my wife can record my flying on an second camera to see how low it actually is, but there is still some inches to improve

    Those are dandilions, a noxious weed here!!

    They are good for you though, eat the leaves in spring and the roots, supposed to be very good for you....

    I wouldn't try too hard, unless you are capable of replacing parts.
    Do you use a folding prop or not? Not that it would matter when its going, bit I'm just curious.

    I don't like replacing parts that's for sure but most of the time it is just grass or flowers so the "landing" wouldn't be that brutal.
    By the way I use a 10x6 folding prop.

    Yes I like milk, I drink a cup every day so maybe this could be the magic formula
    or maybe it's just the good air in the alps
