    The guy who filmed is a trainer. I respect a guy who films his own difficulties backing in order to train, rather than some guy who posts in order to shame.

    Yeah, it looked close. When you GOAL, take the time to go all the way to see your clearance on the far side. It's only a few more feet, but WELL worth the effort.

    Edit to add:

    ESPECIALLY in this POS truck stop.

    What kind of drone is it? I'm looking for one that will hover automatically so I can make some training videos.

    Check you out,excellent job and great advice.Me on the other hand wouldn't have even attempted it.I'd find a restarea.that Pilot is a mess no matter what time of the day it is.Considering how tight it is it can't easy getting out for the early bird's.
