Flying around abandond church with my DJI Phantom 3

Check out this town and church here: en.wikipedia.or...
This large church is located in Richmond Hill Ontario. A local told me that the founder died and passed it along to his daughter that decided not to finish it, so it sits vacant and unfinished.
Cathedraltown (Census Tract Number 5350403.03; Population est. 3,000)[1] is a 200-acre town in the city of Markham, Ontario, Canada, located at Major Mackenzie Drive and Highway 404. The community gains its name Cathedraltown because it is landmarked by the abandoned Cathedral of the Transfiguration.
The community is divided into two parts. The part east of Woodbine Avenue is centered on Hazelton Avenue. This part of the community existed first before the newer part west of Woodbine Avenue. The community west of Woodbine Avenue is the heart of the community as it is centred on the Cathedral.
One of the main developers of the Cathedraltown neighbourhood is Monarch (a Taylor Woodrow subsidiary in Canada). They have built most of the homes in this neighbourhood, with the first and second phases already completed. The condominium complex (composed of towers and townhomes) located within this community also began in 2012.

Wow, hard to believe that it is abandoned what a beautiful church.

[@JKJK]

Interesting and nice urban area. Thank you you also for very nice the video description

[@nukedaddy]

Amazing how abandoned those streets and sidewalks were.

[@ryancoolboy123]

Wow that's cool

[@1akey]

Loved it! Are you able to program GPS way points into the DJI Phantom 3 FC?

[@My_Little_Hobby]

Adrian Key In a future update they are adding it, not yet for some reason they are waiting.

[@going2press143]

So what does the future hold for the cathedral? If it is to be restored and reopened, that's fine but if it is to have an argument with a wrecking ball, it would be a real shame and your footage should be archived to show how we sometimes destroy buildings of great beauty and replace them with characterless dwellings.

[@My_Little_Hobby]

+going2press It is a beautiful building and hopefully something nice becomes of it one day.

[@liubayseee]

this "church" is a Cathedral and is most likely to be abandon for good

I just received mine have not flown yet. Been practicing in the simulator. I think using course lock would make camera manuvering much easier. Do you get confused with direction when you yaw or does it just take practice. Looks like it handles well.

[@My_Little_Hobby]

James Bandes It handles very well. I don't use any course lock, it is in GPS mode.

[@dab7963]

does the orientation get confusing when it is in the air or do you get the hang of it very quickly.

[@My_Little_Hobby]

You get the hang of it pretty quick

[@dab7963]

So excited can't wait to fly it this weekend

[@user-ex6dr7ol8c]

Is that drone in the video a Dji Phantom 3 Standard?

[@My_Little_Hobby]

+Carl Kucharik Advanced, but camera is the same on both

[@user-ex6dr7ol8c]

Ok,thanks for the fast answer.I was just wondering because of the range

[@My_Little_Hobby]

+Carl Kucharik really range is what you pay extra for on advanced.

[@user-ex6dr7ol8c]

And thats what I am missing a little bit at my Phantom 3 Standard

[@Animefreak17a]

[@My_Little_Hobby]

+Animefreak17a i should go try to get squatters rights ;-)
