Just out of curiosity, how much do you charge the other LB fishos per drop? $5 per drop sounds fair?

All good. It's heavy thus precision adjustments on directions can be tricky at times specially if a bit windy. I might start using the auto feature and use the waypoints for precision flying.

It can carry up to 1 kg of rig and burley to be dropped at the same time. Making it easy to put burley where the bait is.

One thing I learned is to wash my hands before picking up the remote and drone. :oops: :down:

That's Great. With some more practice it will be a walk in the park. .. hurry up and get some more practice im looking for someone to do some small aerial videos of my boat. If your up for it let me know.
Cheers

A mate and I went back Nov 11 late afternoon to fish the sunset. Landed these on bait sent out by the drone. Soon the drone was in the hangar as the sun had fully set. We stayed a bit longer and cast as far as we can but only landed a couple more after hours of trying. The fish were way too far to reach by simply casting 4oz sinkers.

Too many subtle pulls on our lines which we suspected were crabs. Sure enough we landed one.

Be careful using the waypoints, after Doing a waypoint, delete it/clear screen as after completing and it lands and turns off , it may start them again automatically.
Mine did that as I went to grab it, just turned on and off it went.

Thanks stewy. Will test it first before i use it for fishing.

I am now more than capable of steering the drone through a maze. Patience is the key for this heavy drone. Light touch works a treat.... there is only one flight path anyway - Straight out and return to home
