Hi from hot as hell Texas

[Titanium]

Hello
What can I say I'm in San Antonio TX. Nice place but in the summer it's just to hot for me.
Been flying rc planes now for about 7 years but newish to the drone world.
Decided to jump in the deep end with an inspire 2 with hopes of making some money with it at some point.
No money yet, just working on experience and learning how to use all the features.
Love it so far.

Welcome to the forum, @Titanium. We're happy to have you here. Best of luck turning your bird into a money making machine and safe flying in the process.

Enjoy the I2 and don't hesitate to reach out if we can be of any assistance.

Stay cool!

Welcome aboard!!
When it gets really hot, stand under the hovering bird and it will cool you off!

 

[Titanium]

I'll try that next time.

Cool, I'm from Vancouver but visit San Antonio every January. Visit family in northeast area. I fly my Inspire 1 in Canada, use Autopilot, and provided some footage for a documentary, and commercial client. Nothing big. So far over 30 hours in the air. I try to fly every day, even if only practice. Hover batteries down to 4% for a full recharge and optimum health. Any serious/touchy flights I make low threshold 50% for return, and may focus on newer batteries for longer missions.

Hey, welcome!

From a fellow Texan, there are some pretty cool opportunities for $$$ if you are creative and willing to work at being the best you can as a service provider. I PMed you with some "Texas" info, lol. I am not doing it full time by no means, but I am managing to enjoy some nice meals out with my wife on the profits, lol. Enjoy! K

 

[Titanium]

I like that idea.

Just carry your Inspire down the Riverwalk, you will get some amazing video

Florida...

Man you got that, lol! Not sure if it's legal to fly there. Haven't checked the airports nearby, but man that is a really cool place! We spent our honeymoon there 32 years ago, and we still go often! Many, many cool places for aerials!

River walk San Antonio is not G

 

[Titanium]

No it's not, plus I'd be worried about the people and a bit tight.
I have been scouting spots to check out once it cools down a bit.

I actually meant carry it down river walk, not fly it. I guess my humor did not make it onto the internet

 

[Titanium]

Aaaa well that would turn some heads for sure lol
I might even knock a few people in
