    great location, must remember to visit if Drone Minds is ever down South. You're brave, flying under the Viaduct ;) I would be worried about the video link getting cut off, but the Q500 seemed to cope well. We seem to have the same style of landing :p

    lol... that's not me,, its the Q500 honest.. it does like to bounce a bit before landing.
    Why would the video link get cut off?

    I think its because Q500 uses a wi-fi connection with the controller ST10+ (phantom uses radio on the other hand) and when flying behind trees, structures etc it can sometimes lose the connection

    yeah that's always the best policy, especially if you're still new I have lost orientation a few times (though find it easier to see the front of the Q500 compared to the phantom)
