I decided to PROPERLY calibrate my drone, so the first 3/4 of this video is me flying the thing and landing it just to set the yaw and other things.

The final part of the video was an altitude test. The wind in this video was a little more than the first video, but I felt confident. However something went a little wrong. The drone went to about 75 feet and then lost connection with the remote. This enabled "auto-land mode".

Considering that it's supposed to have about a 300 ft range, I'm a little bit upset. I guess the takeaway from this is that I managed a somewhat more stable flight in heavier winds this time. I'm pretty stoked about that.

Now that she's calibrated, it's time to do some more rigorous flying. But I keep coming across one problem - the battery life sucks. This video is comprised of TWO full charge cycles, each one taking about 30 minutes to complete.

If any of my viewers know where I can find high-capacity Li-Po batteries for this thing, let me know.
