Game of Drones: 3rd Flight, one of country’s biggest drone competition

Game of Drones: 3rd Flight

It was my first time to ever fly a drone for the record and I enjoyed and, I thought it was hard and I'm a bit scary if the drone would ever fly so high away that we wouldn't ever see but then again it was a smooth and solemn fly that I wish I stayed longer and explored how to fly a drone more. It is Ortigas Malls' much-awaited annual Game of Drones, now on its 3rd Flight.
