Nate trusted me to land this fully #electric Fly-By-Wire aircraft when he couldn't help at all due to the way the control system works.
This is the culmination of several episodes we produced with Beta Technologies - They invited me to fly with them, and share their story. If you missed the previous episodes, there's a playlist linked below.

FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:

I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 20 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
