Lessons learned!!! Last month we made the mistake of pushing our equipment past its limitations. The Matrice 30T is IP55 rated and can handle rain, snow, & just about any weather condition in Wisconsin. However, when operating at night we attach a spotlight that isn’t IP55 rated. Over time through the spotlight connection, water made its way into the aircraft and grounded it.
This week we received our replacement M30T and obtained the new M4TD. The Matrice 4TD CAN fly at night in the rain with improved flight time and range 🥳! Only a couple pilots in Wisconsin can fly at night in the rain.
Excited to finish the season strong and begin land and property surveys after the season.
