Very cool.  So how far have you flown it away from you?  You getting a little more daring?

LOL....that was the topic of many conversations with Andy yesterday...

Today, I did fly 2800 m away from my launch location to get video of the closed amusement park.  That is as far as I have gone.    It was so close to National Park it was yelling at me.   

Net is I am getting more daring....but more slowly .   Seems I take my risks in other areas.  I wanted to see if I could get within 10 ft of the dam water gate....he told me that would be a bad idea.   LOL.

Cool video. I really like the idea of the angles and locations you can get shots and video from with these things. Pretty impressive.

2800m... That's almost two miles.  Definitely got me beat. 

Water is tricky.  I guess it has a tendency to trick the sensors so they don't realize how close you are. I think that's mainly still water though. But trying to fly by the video screen is weird because you can't get a good feel for depth perception or your surroundings.  And in this car unstable, one drop of water in the wrong place... Swimmin with da fishes.

Haha.  Ok I got you beat still then.  I saw the new video on YouTube.  You're holding out on us.  Any post production in that video?  Colors look much better.

I am still editing...I actually made the new one private again and reloading it.   Saw an error and Youtube didn't have my audio right.   Hold tight,  almost done
