The weather report was that there would be clouds but no rain, this was a lie.

The first location at this park that I went to film at was the soccer fields. This would be good for long forward kinetic motions shots without having to worry about obstacles. This did prove to be the case however there were several problems while flying.

The second I took off I knew something was off and this would not be an easy flight day. The drone was bucking a little and having a hard time hovering, rocking back and forth. My solution was just too slowly move the drone forward just to get some momentum and reduce the rocking.

   Once you enter the drive way to this park it’s a winding dirt road for about a mile. It’s nice to drive Slowly through this section, one because it’s very scenic and two because there may be deer. In Either case the speed limit is 25 MPH so you’re really supposed to go slow anyway.

Went to Flushing County Park, this is a park I’ve never been to. I was a little worried this would be a place not large enough for my drone but when I got there I was relieved to see there were many places I could take off from. Today I was shooting for Live to Tape’s Flow and Project Aerospace’s Lighter than Some series.

Alby is as fixed wing UAV (RC airplane). Today’s flight was a special one because in this flight we would be testing the first camera array setup. This set up consisted of three cameras all recording at 60 fps.

   Today was a very exciting day. This would be the first day I would fly my fixed wing UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle). This is an R/C airplane which I call Alby. Named after the waved albatross which in a lot of ways resembles and flies  similar to this UAV.

Today was a windy day. Not a little wind but a lot. The wind report was that it would be 25mph until 4pm. The problem was that the sun sets at 5pm. This would not leave a lot of time for filming for Project Aerospace.

The winds were forecasted to be below 10mph from 7am -10 am. So I just had to get to the park and start filming for Project Aerospace before 11am even so the winds would only go up to 12 mph in general the whole day would be calm winds.
