Develop Air mini Maiden Flight | Onward and Upward Despite Being Cold and Tearing Out a Broken GPS

Описание: iVue Robotics Founder, Jacob Andrews, is back at Denmark Drone Park to finish the maiden flight test of the Develop Air mini attempted the day earlier. Despite a sudden snowstorm and freezing temperatures, the mission remains the same: getting this newly configured Develop Air mini ready for its new home.

After discovering a hardware failure in the last session, Jacob performed "field surgery" to tear out and replace a faulty GPS unit. Watch as he navigates hardware swaps in the cold and finally get the mini airborne for a successful maiden flight test. Jacob also breaks down exactly what you get in the $999 Develop Air mini bundle.
