Dave so glad you enjoyed the video. After doing a bit of research it looks like the architect that designed that school designed a large amount of schools in the Bay area. Most in the 1930's. I really enjoy the historic buildings especially as the are in really good shape. When I looked the guy up (William H. Weeks) I found another gem of a school he designed that is close. If the smoke clears a bit I am hoping to get a chance to fly the drone this coming weekend and get some video.
The move you described makes the drone kind of fly in a half circle. In aviation terms I am using the Roll and Yaw at the same time and the same speed. This means I push both joysticks to the left or the right at the same time. I just need to really be careful that the arc is not headed towards a tree or a utility pole.
In terms of schools the governor mandated distance learning for most schools. It is just so crowded here that it makes sense to me. But it is a huge challenge. And of course there are people for it and against it.... such is life.
