Some of you are asking me what is it like to fly a quadcopter. I have gotten some on social media, so I will answer it here. It is fun to fly a quadcopter. While the tiny camera and tiny sensor in the camera on this quadcopter isn't giving me the best resolution or quality compared to the DSLR photos and videos I'm used to, it is still really amazing to me that I can have a camera on an aircraft taking aerial photos and videos while I control everything and see a live video feed from the camera all while standing on the ground. It is really amazing how far technology has gotten. I fly it for fun, and over time it has really helped me see the world from a different perspective. It is amazing to see the amount of stuff you can't normally see while standing on the ground. Learning to fly this quadcopter has also taught me a lot about flight in general. Before a flight, I have to check wind speed, distances, and all sorts of things. Especially on long flights, I have to factor in flight times, distances, check for potential obstacles through satellite imagery (especially when I plan to fly in areas I'm not familiar with), and other stuff. When you start flying, you really start seeing the world around you in a different way, learn about aerodynamics, and get a ton of practice in mathematics.
