Ah, Prague... A gorgeous city, but very touristy now. Good idea to film early in the morning.

[Rudi]

Quaint and ornate; Typical European architecture.
The drone seems to be very stable, or the morning air was very still.

[HansV]

Prague is very much a Baroque city (although it has many lovely art deco buildings too).

The blurb beneath the video mentions "mounted on a 3-axis stabilizing gimbal" - that will have helped.

[Rudi]

LOL...TX I read the first line ... something about recording in the morning and then I hit the play button...Never got to reading the rest.

[John Gray]

Am I right in saying that controllers still need line-of-sight to the drone, otherwise it may land on the roof of a(n American) football stadium?

(Deepest apologies for the 'country music' which accompanies the agonisingly long account. You could turn it off, but would miss the story which is about the length of one radio amateur exchange on Top Band, and about as fascinating.)

I hear that Prague has good beer...

[HansV]

Definitely! Pilsner beer is originally from Plzeň in Bohemia, in what is now the Czech Republic.

[mishmish3000]

1295?!?! My goodness!

[Rudi]

Yep...that's old beer.... Yugggg!!!

[mishmish3000]

I guess beer doesn't age well? I don't know much about beer. It's not like wine?

[HansV]

Ordinary beer is meant for immediate consumption (most ordinary wine too, for that matter). Some specialty beers can be aged for several years - see How To Store Beer.

[mishmish3000]

Cool! (no pun intended...)

[Rudi]

Cool! (pun intended...)

[Leif]

I hear that Prague has good beer...

Not just Prague, but the whole of the Česká republika!

[Leif]

Talking of Prague, the winner of this year's Ig Nobel prize for Public Health has been awarded to Jaroslav Flegr, of Charles University, and colleagues for investigating whether it is mentally hazardous for a human being to own a cat.

Sorry - I don't know the answer...

[Rudi]

I can set up an appointment for you with MishMish. She can educate you on the topic.
Just watch out if she offers you any Japanese gum (even if it's free).

[mishmish3000]

Beware cats bearing gifts.

[Rudi]

Leif must just be praguematic in your presence.

[Leif]

Rudi - I think you need to turn on your SpellCzecher.
