A flight over Huvudskär - 20-21 May 2017

This was the first real weekend of the 2017 season, with temperature above 20°C, bright sun, and a real air of summer, except the water temperature at 11°C. Belisama is moored in the sound on the right.

Right time to test her new drone...
After running though one simulation, we decided to land ion order to practice flight. The taking-off and landing from Belisama will be practiced after quite some experience...

Second flight, over the water this time. Straight forward!

It is incredibly easy to take control of the drone in a few second. Just a bit hard when approaching to assess the distance, in particular the rigging. I will therefore stay at a safe distance.

Interesting view of the bottom of the Huvudskär sound.

Nice way to explore the rigging on the top of the mast. I will go and check the trumpet for the spinnaker, which broke last year, before climbing the mast.

Well 20+ minutes go very fast in the air. Lucky to have the automated return to launch...

And now, the video...
