[QUOTE="floridabeachbum, post: 107971, member: 17977"] I do it pretty regularly. Fair warning though - everything everyone has said so far is spot on. Don't trust sensors at all. In fact, trust them to malfunction and try to turn your drone into a submersible! Even with a totally solid GPS lock, etc, I've still seen my indicated altitude wildly fluctuate by as much as 15 feet. Instead, use your eyes (and/or someone else's too), and always be ready to immediately gain altitude. I have found that having a consistent speed helps some. I may have to try turning off the sensors sometime and see if that helps. [/QUOTE]
