    Flying in the beaches of Bintan - Has anyone tried?uad

    I'm heading off to Bintan soon. I am thinking of bringing my quad and fly over the beaches for some nice aerial shots. Has anyone done this there? Any possible concerns?

      The trip went well. However, I woke up a tad late, ending up rushing and being baked in the sun. This was my first time to fly with almost entire packs over water, so I was a nervous wreck. The high tide didn't help, I expected at least some good amount of sandy beach to do my usual fast and low flights and banks, but I quickly realize that banking low over water is quite disconcerting (perhaps for a noob like me). The reflection can cause confusion with my judgment of the quad's altitude, so I just kept it higher and slower, and I didn't have much shoreline to play anyway. By the time the tide went down sometime after lunch, I had all my stuff packed and was waiting for the shuttle. Maybe next time. It was a good learning experience though.

      I don't use any HD recorder, so here's a collection of video link clips. You will see it as I saw it.



      This was on an ADS-400Q frame with the Acro Naze32 (Baseflight) FC on 5.8G and 3300mAh 4S lipos. Flown in all manual/rate mode.

          No issue at all, bro. I initially thought the resort security would not allow me to fly, but they just watched.

            If want to be safe just a suggestion, get written permission from the resort management. At least you have something to show when the beach patrol approach you. Also, get in touch with an insurance agent to ask for a customised coverage package for the duration of the trip to cover RC activities as well. Just saying....
