Got an invite to fly from a local gliding and RC club, so took the Disco to learn while the sun was shining. I overshot the landings every time lol.
here is a short clip of the gliding club field.

Is that footage from the disco camera?
Looks good
Yes, it’s the Disco camera it was all LOS though and when I get to FPV the Disco the banking will be shallow to get good video.
Looks like temperature does make a difference then.
Looking forward to getting mine back out.

I’ve just shielded my Mobius camera and mounted it where it’s not blocking or interfering with the GPS antenna. If the weather holds out I’ll try it tomorrow.

How much of the nose is in cameras FOV? Guessing the switch/pitot sticks up a fair bit.
It’s in view but until I fly it it’s a guesstimate position, the silicone is very very strong but it cuts well.
One thing I did notice about landings, working out wind direction and landing into it is much smoother with less overshoot.
If it’s calm your always going to have a higher groundspeed and higher chance of overshoot.
I like the circular landing since it lands into wind automatically. Good for end of a waypoint mission where you can’t predict wind in advance.
Looking forward to your onboard video.
Nice one @Njoro - What’s the score here, do you each take it in turns or are there multiple machines up in the skies at the same time?
WTF?! How does it know that?!?? 
Probably like I would with my paraglider … perform what would be perfect circles in still air and see where you’ve drifted to compared to the start of the circle. 
It knows the wind direction from the airspeed vs ground speed thanks to its pitot tube
@PingSpike multiple machine up and at times jets too, the RC club got moved on from a perfect location due to quarrying rights. I’ve joined the RC and glider club for this season, the club is a BMFA affiliate so I now have FPVUK and BMFA.
