It's a great feeling isn't it? Enjoy the moment. Many more to come, as well as failures. But the victories keep us coming back for the next challenge.

Nice!

Looked like your battery wasn't strapped in tho.

The battery was velcroed in but the strap was wrong and needs moving, reason being I have 2 different shaped batteries and it was in position for the other, sorted now.

new landing skids should arrive in the next couple of days then I can put the gimbal and go pro on there.

The LED module flashing like that concerned me, but it seemed to fly fine. How is your Voltage page configured in the Advanced tab of Assistant?

I was just teasing anyways. I might be ready for my flight this weekend and I went over board with straps n ties.

I'll have to doublecheck it on the Settings but it may have been because the battery power was very low due to lots of testing being done in the workshop before flying it
