Notes * Prior to flying, Nathan Rose and Clayton Brown, performed compass calibrations on the X6 Max while getting instruction from the Aurelia Engineer. The drone no longer is restricted by airspace in being in proximity to an airport. This fix is permanent and doesn't need to be redone for future testing. Flight tests consisted of power cycles, flying about 10m into the air and performing basic flight maneuvers to familiarize the pilot with the controls. These consisted of circles, squares, and varying degrees of input on yaw, roll, and pitch. The METAR for the conducted flight explains the conditions really well. (METAR KLAF 201754Z 25006KT 10SM CLR 11/M04 A3035 RMK AO2 SLP281 T01111039 10117 21006 58007) Overall a really great flight!
