39th Flight

C:\Users\Jack\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Word\vlcsnap-2017-05-23-11h12m06s979.png Flew south over the 115k power lines to the oil storage yard.  

This flight was 631 meters away from my departure point and I was concerned about the influence of the high tension power lines below so I gave them a wide berth. Staying below the 400 ft agl altitude required in the US, I flew over them at 121 meters (396 ft).

I will often pre-plan my flights using Google Earth. It's a wonderful tool to pre-determine the distance required to fly to an object. Now that I can record the FPV video along with the MAV specs, I can better track my flights.
