I can genuinely say, that having your parachute open facing and flying towards the object youve just jumped off, and knowing that potentially your life hangs in the balance at that moment, doesnt generate the kind of heart-thumping panic that losing control of a drone quadcopter and seeing it rushing towards an oak tree does. Fortunately disaster for the drone was avoided on this occasion. Lessons: 1. Do not casually dismiss a strong squally breeze and think itll be fine! 2. Implement a series of control checks to ensure you remember how to fly the thing BEFORE you give it full throttle. 3. Altitude is your friend.Not a lot to hit at 200ft in open airspace. 4. Probably best to learn in large open spaces (like a field) rather than in a garden surrounded by woods. The parallels to BASE are spooky and like BASE this is definitely going to end in broken parts and tears.
