Jan 22nd New Hobby -Drones #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 1-22-20

Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 1-22-2020 New Hobby I’m trying or would like to try! Drones!

This falls into the want to try category. Drones. Yep, years ago my hubby and I flew remote control helicopters. It say it was a blast, is an understatement. But eventually we lost my favorite in the blue sky and it crashed to the earth in a million pieces. We did repair it, but it sits on a shelf gathering dust because I’m afraid to fly it again. Anyway, I digress.

In researching drones, I decided to start with a mini and learn to fly it then graduate to the drones that can shoot 4K of video. My hubby is a photographer and that’s his ultimate goal. Me, I want to fly over places and enjoy the scenery.

My choice is a Mavic Mini then upgrade to the Mavic Air which files 2.4 miles with a maximum speed of 42.5 miles mph. It has forward and backward obstacles avoidance to help keep from crashing into things. Gee I wonder if they have obstacle avoidance for humans? Now that would be something I could use. LOL My ultimate dream machine, the Mavic Phantom quad. Yep it’s out of my price range right now. It has a three-axis stabilized camera with a 20 megapixel sensor. It also has four-direction obstacle avoidance and six camera navigation system so it will avoid crashing into things as it flies up to 31 mph with a 4.3 mile range (unobstructed). But it must be registered with the FAA.

I’m sure you’ve heard about the mysterious squadron of six to ten drones buzzing over the Midwest, great planes to include Wyoming, Colorado and Nebraska at night. They fly between seven and ten at night in a grid link pattern. Funny thing’s no one has any answers as to who is flying these drones. The Federal Aviation Administration, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army forces Command have been contacted and claim to have no information. Gee, imagine that. One thing I do know, it’s not me. LOL

Alas, back to my writing cave where deadlines loom, so let’s see what other authors list as new hobby I”m trying or would like to try. L&SR
