Running with JCT, Part Deux

Just made a other test flight. I think I got max altitude this time. There is a light breeze, and it does affect the drone more than you would think. But it didn't do to bad. Almost crashed due to a wind gust and then really crashed when another gust of wind hit it and couldn't quite recover.

I also tested out the follow me feature where the drone automatically follows you. That worked out pretty good and tracked me just fine.

I'm working on getting the video uploaded.

 

As promised. Here is the other video. This one is 6min long.

 

Has a pretty pronounced fisheye effect ehh?

 

I noticed that as well.

 

So, I found a flight record in the app. And the max height seems to be 30m or 98.5ft. Going to have to play around with some more to see if there is a setting to turn off that limit.

 

Sooo I went in for My 400000 maintenance Monday morning and everything has been a mess since. I'm in Coopersburg PA. Truck won't be ready now till next week. To long of a story to tell here but it's all warranty stuff.

Softball tournament is in town so after a few days in the nice affordable hotels I was forced up to Allentownown were things are pricey.
It sucks. But I expect things like this. Meaning I'm prepared for these bumps in the road and even though I hate spending while not earning, I can do so for a bit..

Until this morning when I found out that my credit card and my debit/credit card got hacked last night. Now im truly broke. Cards cut off and bank didn't let fraud go through but I can't even call a uber now. Kenworth dealer is closed tomorrow and engine is in a million pieces.
Have plenty of money but it's all out of reach.
After some time assessing my situation this morning I called JCT. They said they can help me with a EFS check if I can get to a hotel that takes them. Which is a huge help. But I'm still feeling down and out at the moment. Won't get new cards for a week and that's in Virginia.
Crazy ### job. Hard to see the up side some days.

 

That blows... It sucks when life decides to pile on.

I'm not sure if there's a Wells Fargo near you but EFS is drawn on Wells Fargo. I've had them cash one of my EFS checks before when I was putting money into my account for an emergency. Banks usually cash "on us" checks without an account. May have to sweet talk a manager though.

 

Thanks man. I didn't know that.
Got a cab back down to Kenworth Coopersburg coming. The hotel I started at takes EFS and they have rooms available now so things are looking up.

 

Not sure who your bank is but with bank of America I could go to a branch and get a temp card.

 

I do need to get a national Bank. I'm with a local credit union in VA. And I really love them but it doesn't help me in times like these. Also getting rid of some of my other credit cards because it seemed repetitive seems foolish now..
