Mid Air Rendezvous

in voilk •  3 days ago

    A couple of days ago, one of my FPV buddies called to invite me to fly with his friends at a spot not far from our place. I had to decline since we had a familiy visit and already planned a trip to the mountain ridge above the valley. However, I suggested we could meet in the air instead.

    We exchanged coordinates and planned our aerial rendezvous. He flew his small flying wing from within the valley, while I launched my 7-inch drone, the GEPRC Moz7, from the top of the ridge. With his plane's longer flight time, he climbed up to my altitude so I could spot him easily before I started to follow his flight path.

    I chased his plane as he circled around my launch spot, then followed him down into the valley to his "base camp" which was over 4 kilometers away. Throughout our flight, we maintained a phone call to coordinate our paths. After circling his group, I headed back to my spot, mindful of my battery life. Since his aircraft had a longer endurance, he was able to follow me back once more before returning for his landing. It was undoubtedly one of the most intersting FPV missions I've ever experienced!

    Enjoy the ride!
