Flight of my C-Fly Dream GPS Drone 04-03-20 (1080p) (4).
Flight took place (launched anyway) in the airspace over the east parking lot of the Panda Express Chinese restaraunt located at 3910 N. Cedar Ave. in Fresno CA. USA at 5:12pm PDT on 04-03-20 (or, "2020 04-03T17:12" or, "2020 03 Apr." or even, "April 03, Twenty-Twisted-Stick-Tire" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were mostly sunny, temperature was 71°F (21.6°C), and winds measured with my el stupido sodding "strong donkey pee yellow" portable digital "windometer" (as JD from JD Quad in the UK calls them even though those things are actually called, "anemometers") ;-) were variable gusting to 17.20mph (27.69kph) at the surface.
That music that you hear are the sweat dulcet tones of zax from the computer demo programs, "Coma Demo" by the PC demo group TBS (The Brain Slayer), the PC demo, "Delusion" by Sonic PC and, "Crystal Dream 2" by Triton.
None of these songs are metal, so you do not have to manufacture aural tampons from Cleanax {or other brand of nasal tissue} or sheets torn from a roll of bungwipe in effort to stem the tide of bright red blood shooting from your ears. ;-)
Video latency is extremely high; I could never recommend the C-Fly Dream as an FPV flier for this reason.
Latency ranges from approx. one minute as as the flight is launched to well over five minutes as the flight comes to an end!!! :-O
Though in the Dream's defense, it does make a decent LOS flyer.
*THERE'S A FAIRLY HIGH PROBABILITY THAT THE LATENCY ISSUE COULD LIE WITH MY FPV DEVICE* so please take this with plenty of crystallised sodium chloride (grains of salt)!
My good computer blew up somewhat over two weeks ago (March 13 if I remember correctly); my spare (a so-called "netbook" running Windows 7) is slower than molasses in February. :-/
It took the blasted thing over 15 hours (!) to process the 14 minute 1080p video from a recent flight!!! :-O
My wheelchair batteries are going to pot; the only flying locations that I can readily access now are this one (and just barely so!), the 3600-block of N. Maple Ave., the one by the desiccated artificial lake near the intersection of E. Dakota Ave. and N. Maple Ave., the Happy Market near the intersection of W. Shields Ave. and N. Maple Ave., and the intersection of N. Maple Ave. and E. Simpson Ave.
Flight of my C-Fly Dream GPS Drone 03-04-20 (1080p) (3).
Flight took place (launched anyway) in the airspace over a vacant parking lot near Hands on Hydroponics located at 3320 N. Cedar Ave. in Fresno CA. USA at 3:03pm PST on 03-04-20 (or, "2020 03-04T15:03" or, "2020 04 Mar." or even, "March 04, Twenty-Twisted-Stick-Tire" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were mostly sunny, temperature was 78°F (25.6°C), and winds measured with my el stupido sodding "strong Weddel seal poddy yellow" portable digital "windometer" (as JD from JD Quad in the UK calls them even though those things are actually called, "anemometers") ;-) were generally dead clam at the surface.
The music that you hear is the song, "Sawed-Off Shogun" by The Glorious Sons and two pieces of synthesizer zax.
This product is not audio (sound)-sensitive in any manner; the music may safely be ignored or even muted if it piddles you off or makes your ears bleed.
Video latency is extremely high; I could never recommend the C-Fly Dream as an FPV flier for this reason.
Latency ranges from 13 seconds to well over three minutes!!! :-O
Though in the Dream's defense, it does make a decent LOS flyer.
During this afternoon's flight, latency started off very well (measureable in milliseconds!) and then deteriorated as the flight progressed -- ending up at pretty close to *THREE MINUTES(!)* by the time LVC kicked in. :-(
Three minutes is the longest latency that I've seen from this drone.
This flight is dedicated to Tim's late wife Debbie.
Tim (Repaid1 on the RCGroups fora) graciously donated the MicroSD memory chip that recorded this flight. :-)
Flight of my C-Fly Dream GPS Drone 03-04-20 (1080p) (2).
Flight took place (launched anyway) in the airspace near the intersection of N. Maple Ave and Clinton Ave. in Fresno CA. USA at 12:02pm PST on 03-04-20 (or, "2020 03-04T12:02" or, "2020 04 Mar." or even, "March 04, Twenty-Twisted-Stick-Tire" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were mostly sunny, temperature was 72°F (22.2°C), and winds measured with my el stupido "strong papoose uranation yellow" portable digital "windometer" (as JD from JD Quad in the UK calls them even though those things are actually called, "anemometers") ;-) were generally dead clam at the surface.
The music that you hear is zax from the coin-op arcade video game, "Super Hang-On" (the song is called, "Hard Road") by Sega from 1986.
Video latency is extremely high; I could never recommend the C-Fly Dream as an FPV flier for this reason.
Latency ranges from 13 seconds to well over one minute!!! :-O

Cool weather* sunrise flight of my C-Fly Dream GPS Drone 03-04-20 (1080p) (1).
Flight took place (launched anyway) in the airspace over the vacant parking lot of a strip mall containing a Family Dollar store located at 3243 N. Cedar Ave. in Fresno CA. USA at 6:40am PST on 03-04-20 (or, "2020 03-04T06:40" or, "2020 04 Mar." or even, "March 04, Twenty-Twisted-Stick-Tire" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were mostly clear, temperature was 50°F (10°C), and winds measured with my el stupido "strong ninja micturition yellow" portable digital "windometer" (as JD from JD Quad in the UK calls them even though those things are actually called, "anemometers") ;-) were generally dead clam at the surface.
Light some candles, draw a refreshing (but soothing) bubble bath, and immerse yourself in the sweat dulcet tones of some nice relaxing Megadeth. ;-)
This product is not audio (sound)-sensitive in any manner; the music may safely be ignored or even muted if it piddles you off or makes your ears bleed.
*THE FV¢K?!?*
Megadeth has *NO SWEET DULCET TONES* and is most certainly neither *NICE* nor *RELAXING!!!* ;-)
It's like false recluse spider venom to the ears of many!!! :-O
I added, "***NSFYE***" (Not Safe For Your Ears) to the video title because not everybody who comes here to watch drone vidz is a metalhead and would appreciate the unwelcome surprise earwhipping and subsequently won't appreciate seeing all of those bloody Q-Tips or used aural tampons floating in their toilets or finding empty bottles of ear bleach languishing in their bathroom waste bins or lying on the floor in front of their lavatories (bathroom sinks) along with that dented can of gold spray paint and the holey, paint-soaked, slightly yellowed Hanes briefs that fell into the loo earlier this morning and they missed the wastepaperbasket when they tried to throw the yucking fucky things away. :-)
(Those underwear were holey?!? Maybe they should invest in some mothballs {naphthalene or 1,4-Dichlorobenzene [aka. paradichlorobenzene]} next time around, hahaha!!! ;-D)

This *MAY* be one of the last flights that I make at this particular location.
Not because the property owner pooh-poohs flying my UAV here , but because the tired old batteries in my electric wheelchair can now *JUST BARELY* manage the round trip. :-(
* Cool weather in this context means an ambient temperature of 33°F (0.6°C) to 51°F (10.6°C) at flight time.
***NSFYE*** Slightly brief* sunset flight of my C-Fly Dream GPS Drone 04-02-20 (1080p) (2).
Flight took place (launched anyway) in the airspace over the 3600-block of N. Maple Ave. in Fresno CA. USA at 7:07pm PDT on 4-02-20 (or, "2020 04-02T19:07" or, "2020 02 Apr." or even, "April 02, Twenty-Twisted-Stick-Tire" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were mostly sunny becoming mostly clear as the stellar type G2 yellow dwarf star at the center of our system went below the horizon, temperature was 64°F (17.8°C), and winds easured with my el stupido sodding "rotten armadillo urine yellow" portable digital "windometer" (as JD from JD Quad in the UK calls them even though those things are actually called, "anemometers") ;-) were variable with occasional gusts to 2.00mph (3.22kph) at the surface.
Light some candles, draw a refreshing (but soothing) bubble bath, and immerse yourself in the sweat dulcet tones of some nice relaxing Raven (the NWOBHM group, not Raven Symoan or however the F you spell the douchenoozle's name). ;-)

*THE FV¢K?!?*
Raven has *NO SWEET DULCET TONES* (well, except maybe in the instrumental song, "Bottom Line" and the sub-one minute song, "39-40" -- and neither of those songs is in tonight's video)

* Slightly brief because the DREAM stopped transmitting its WiFi signal; therefore I could not check on its battery status.
So I brought it in a little early just for safety sakes.
Flight of my C-Fly Dream GPS Drone 04-02-20 (1080p) (1).
Flight took place (launched anyway) in the airspace over an area containing a canal, a socker pitch, and three baseball diamonds located along E. Dakota Ave. near N. Cedar Ave. in Fresno CA. USA at 1:33pm PDT on 04-02-20 (or, "2020 04-02T13:33" or, "2020 02 Apr." or even, "April 02, Twenty-Twisted-Stick-Tire" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were mostly sunny, temperature was 64°F (17.8°C), and winds measured with my el stupido sodding "strong rat piss yellow" portable digital "windometer" (as JD from JD Quad in the UK calls them even though those things are actually called, "anemometers") ;-) were variable to 5.10mph (8.21kph) at the surface.
Light some candles, draw a refreshing (but soothing) bubble bath, and immerse yourself in the sweat dulcet tones of some nice relaxing Metallica. ;-)
This product is not audio (sound)-sensitive in any manner; the music may safely be ignored or even muted if it piddles you off or makes your ears bleed.
*THE FV¢K?!?*
Metallica has *NO SWEET DULCET TONES* and is most certainly neither *NICE* nor *RELAXING!!!* (except for the songs, "The Call of Ktulu" and, "Orion" and it just so happens that both of these songs comprise the music in today's video! So you non-metalheads can take your mouse pointer off the MUTE control!) ;-)
While I was flying the drone, I "heard" the song, "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" by John Denver and was a wee bit puzzled by some of the lyrics:
? Well I got me a fine wife I got me an ole fiddle ?
? When the sun's coming up I got cake on the griddle ?
I kept thinking what kind of ass blossom would attempt to cook a birthday cake on a griddle at 0644 hours?
On a *FV¢K!NG GRIDDLE* for Christ sakes!!! :-O

VERY BRIEF flight* of my C-Fly Dream GPS Drone 03-30-20 (720p*) (1).
Flight took place (launched anyway) in the airspace over the 3600-block of N. Maple Ave. in Fresno CA. USA at 6:32pm PDT on 03-30-20 (or, "2020 03-30T18:32" or, "2020 30 Mar." or even, "March 30, Twenty-Twisted-Stick-Tire" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were mainly clear, temperature was 68°F (20°C), and winds measured with my el stupido sodding "strong beluga whale micturition yellow" portable digital "windometer" (as JD from JD Quad in the UK calls them even though those things are actually called, "anemometers") ;-) were generally calm at the surface.
That music that you hear is zax from the Commodore 64 computer video game, "Master of the Lamps" by Activision from 1984.
Video latency is really rotten; I could never recommend the C-Fly Dream as an FPV flier for this reason.

It took the blasted thing over 15 hours (!) to process the 14 minute 1080p video from a recent flight!!! :-O
* VERY BRIEF flight because this flight was made with a screen recorder as I no longer have any MicroSD memory chips; the DREAM keeps eating them and causing the chips to become corrupt; unreadable and even unformattable.
As you can plainly see, the FPV device that I'm using has *TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE* latency; note how slowly the video plays back.
The screen recorder program records at 720p.
I'm expecting to be able to obtain one on 04-01-20 and another by 04-07-20.
This was a very brief flight: take off, ascend to ~1.5M, do a 360° pan, descend, and then land.
The first attempt of this flight resulted in the drone becoming a flyaway and crashing onto the roof of the house across the street; after the drone was retrieved and checked for damage (none was found), I relaunched it so that I could perform this test.
***NSFYE*** Flight of my C-Fly Dream GPS Drone 03-29-20 (1080p) (2).
Flight took place (launched anyway) in the airspace over the western perimeter of the Valley Animal Center located at 3934 N. Hayston Ave. (this enabled me to fly over a partially desiccated artificial lake in the vicinity) in Fresno CA. USA at 4:32pm PDT on 03-29-20 (or, "2020 03-29T16:32" or, "2020 29 Mar." or even, "March 29, Twenty-Twisted-Stick-Tire" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were mostly cloudy, temperature was 64°F (17.8°C), and winds measured with my el stupido sodding "rotten giraffe urine yellow" portable digital "windometer" (as JD from JD Quad in the UK calls them even though those things are actually called, "anemometers") ;-) were variable to 1.00mph (1.61kph) at the surface.

It's like Arizona desert scorpion venom to the ears of many!!! :-O
I added, "***NSFYE***" (Not Safe For Your Ears) to the video title because not everybody who comes here to watch drone vidz is a metalhead and would appreciate the unwelcome surprise earwhipping and subsequently won't appreciate seeing all of those bloody Q-Tips or used aural tampons*** floating in their toilets or finding empty bottles of ear bleach languishing in their bathroom waste bins or lying on the floor in front of their lavatories (bathroom sinks) along with that dented can of lime green spray paint and the holey, paint-soaked, slightly yellowed bathmat that fell into the commode earlier this morning and they missed the wastepaperbasket when they tried to throw the yucking fucky things away. :-)

(That T-shirt was holey?!? Maybe they should invest in some mothballs {naphthalene or 1,4-Dichlorobenzene [aka. paradichlorobenzene]})
I also added, ***NSFW*** (Not Safe For Work) to the title because one of the songs has a fair amount of toliet tongue (garbage mouth, poddy mouth, sewer mouth, sewer chute, etc.) in it; and I'd hate to learn that you got shitcanned from your job because your boss came by while you were watching this video and heard your computer asking to have its speakers washed out with soap. :-O
