No flying again today. It has just been too windy for me to launch my little drone over Lake Michigan. The wind at ground level right now is just 10 miles per hour. But when I look at my handy app, it says the wind speed 150 feet up is 23 mph… and gusting to 46 mph. That is how to lose a drone. My DJI Mavic Mini has a top speed of 29 mph…. but more realistically in the low 20s.
Put a drone up with gusts of 46mph, and you may kiss it goodbye.
Tomorrow in the late afternoon tho, the winds are forecast to finally slow to a light breeze. Should be fun!
Today was a day to watch the ducks on the pond, and football! Plenty of football.
