Flight Day #3

Well today there isnt that many flights.  However its not because i was constrained by time, its because the individual flights were longer and i ran out of battery.  Seeing as it takes 30 min to recharge, i stuck it on charge and didnt pick it back up that day.

Flight #9:  This flight was my most successful of the day and my longest flight ever so far.  I didnt try to do anything new other than fly around the room and not hit anything.
  • Time: 132 seconds (2:12)
Flight #10:  I decided that with the success of the previous round, I was going to try to use the Crane on the Fly Crane to pick up a basket... oops...trying to descend to swoop the basket, i took off too much throttle and hit the ground.  It was more of a landing however as i did land on the landing gear.
  • Time:  57 seconds 
Flight #11 AND #12:  Tried to pick up the basket again, didnt work.  I tried to swoop in several times but could not get low enough to the ground without crashing.  That ground effect i explained in my Obstacles post is quite trippy.  Oh well, practice makes perfect!

At the end of flight 12 i had run out of battery so i had to stop
  • Time: 36 seconds
  • Time: 84 seconds (1:24)
