With only a couple more days until Christmas, I'm just about ready to finish up my first innovation project. I've got my camera all set up to livestream to my phone over its own network, or I can use mobile data and stream the video that way, which works for longer distances. Depending on the weather, I might even go out for a fly over Christmas break, but anything below 10 degrees (F) probably isn't going to happen. For now I'll just fly indoors with my cheap $30 drone that I got at target, at least I think that's where I got it... Merry early Christmas!

It's been awhile, but I'm back with some more information. First off, there probably won't be any pictures for a while as flying in the cold is more stressful than the formal lab report I just did. The cold can actually freeze up the gyrosscope in the helicopter, which prevents it from automatically levelling out, in turn making it nearly impossible to fly. I also saw my Uncle the other weekend, and watched him fly his FPV drone. It's quite the different experience going from looking at something to looking though something. During that time, I also got to see the effects that having all the gear hooked up to a helicopter had, and the speed wasn't actually impacted as much as I thought it would be.
