Last year, I had the idea to make a Santa Sleigh I could fly beneath my drone. This ended up not happening as my computer was away for repairs. This year, I don't have that problem.
Here's the cad model, drawn up based on some clip art I found.
Everything needs to be outlines to minimise air resistance, and keep it as light as possible.
As you can see, this Santa is being made with an Australian twist.
Here's the Santa in print:
And the first "Boomer" (Kangaroo)
Several hours of printing later, and it was time to stick it together. Wanting strength, I used skewers, even though they were a little thicker than I originally planed for.
I'm balancing the roos on the back, to make sure
It must be wide enough to not confuse the drone's downward sensor.
The morning of Christmas Eve, I awoke to this weather forecast.
I proceeded with final assembly anyway. There were gaps in the clouds, it was only bucketing down some of the time.
The strings need to be equidistant from the balance point, and all the same length.
Launch has to be done very carefully. Going to have to fly very smoothly to prevent twisting.
It flies!
I took it down to the park.
Here is the view from the air:
Maybe if the weather holds, there'll be people in the park to see it.
Merry Christmas!

Went to the Dolomites in September and oh man it was beautiful. Decided to make this little drone vid because we collected so much insane footage from our road trip.
This was a completely unplanned video that turned out really well in the end. I think it captures our enthusiasm and love for making videos.

How Much Time Mavic Mini Take for Fully Charge
Are you searching for the Mavic mini for how long to charge the battery? Well, this smart Mavic mini is available with a faster charging option. However, you can leave it as long as you want and won’t need to keep a constant eye on it while putting it in charging. The drone allows you to use it for a long 30-minutes fly uninterruptedly.

ひさびさ
ドローンも
コレクタープレートをゲットしたので、夕食後に娘と近くのレイクへ行ってきた。
途中、映画とプロモビデオ撮影?もしていて、2組の撮影隊にも遭遇。撮影用のアメリカンマッスルカーにセクシーお姉さんもいてオヤジ、大喜び(笑)
もうね〜骨格から違いますから、バァ〜ン!と出立も違う。「映える」とはこの事・・・
喜ぶエロオヤジに娘呆れる(笑)
そんなボーナスもあったけど、久しぶりにドローンを飛ばせてそれも嬉しい。帰宅して、娘にドローン映像を見せたらとても喜んで頂けた。
オープンカーは鳥の声が聞こえるよ
