I haven’t submitted further entries from my drone as I am waiting details from Airdata re syncing.
However as I wish to retain a top 20 placing or better and I noticed an opportunity at Watford Junction today with my DJi Pocket 2 - fingers crossed all is well.
- Tower Crane - points 2 (or more)
…and verification of details below.
