TUDA#5 – Harmony Day – 21/03/2020 – CANCELED
Due to concerns over the current COVID-19 pandemic, this event has been cancelled, to be be rescheduled at a later date.
TUDA#4 results
Couple of my attempts of photos from the video I made – pre-crash and crash-recovery – this was quite an achievement for the small aircraft …
My second attempt of a drone group hug video failed miserably. There were many reasons, but in the end it is mea culpa – I took too long and was in the wrong spot. Mea maxima culpa. The only thing I can do now is to work hard on my drone skills and try to improve the next time.
Couple of short clips are now on youtube here and here (only people with the links can see them).
Compare these with this previous attempt and you will understand what I mean by improve …
