Drone maiden flight - almost cut My nose off

hey you can move pretty fast....even in slow motion.......haha........why do I suspect you are on a first name basis at the emergency room of the local hospital?....can't wait to see what you'll be up to with voyage number two!......Jack

My reactions surprised Me too.. they save Me on one visit in emergency.. those props are quite sharp and I know that...

For those that haven't checked out his you tube site, you are missing some great videos. My Wife's favorite is his road trip on his tractor pulling a load of wood. Nice 30 minute ride on the backroads of Finland.

When he posts a new video I get notified on my Cell Phone. I'm never disappointed.

He's right. I subscribed ........last year?
And it just occurred to me that "videos" is the first place I check on TBN, looking for Metsman videos. It's been that way for a year or so.
Don't change a thing Metsa. Just keep doing what you do.

I crashed my Phantom III on it's first flight. Waited weeks for the repair parts to arrive. After spending 3 hours repairing it, I fired it up in the house, not thinking about the fact that it needs GPS to fly well........when it started to drift across the room my idiot reaction was to grab it. Sliced across my wrist and fortunately for me also hit a piece of furniture at about the same time it hit me so it stopped the blades. It cut thru the skin, down to the white tissue underneath....just barely stopping before the blood vessels. I was lucky.

After I tried to cut my toe off with my xmas present phantom 2, I did my 2nd bonehead move.
I was standing out in fromt of my shop where I have a big shade tree. I sat on the ground carefully read the instruction about setting the GPS calibration. Under the tree. In the shade.
Finally moment of truth.
Lit it up, took off and carefully played a bit with it only about 3 or 4 ft from ground. Walked out to wide open area dust in case while flying it. Life is good.
Got braver and braver. Higher and higher and farther and farther.
Then auto home kicked in.
Drone went straight up, flew directly over that shade tree in front of shop and gently landed in the very top of it!
Next pictures were blurry from my wife laughing so hard taking them if my butt climbing that tree like a school kid to get my precious toy!

When You are in action You do things what afterwards seems to be stupid. .. very familiar to Me...

Autohome mode make Drone land close as possible on that point where it was activated (power on)... interesting and good feature I think but can also make troubles like You ... not funny at all. .
