Wow, thanks for the wishes. I spent an hour or more over at Bear Branch Elementary school doing "touch and go's" with my new drone. I like it there as I could sit in the shade of the basketball court and test fly out on the field towards the greenbelt area. Then it started to rain so I just brought it under the cover and practiced landing on the hop scotch squares. This is like learning to drive or steer a boat and it's easy to over correct. So far no crashes! Batteries last about 25 minutes and I have 2 so then I headed home. My DW wanted to take me to lunch, I got a buy one get one entree offer for my birthday from Union Kitchen but I suggested we do it on Friday and she just take the afternoon off and start our weekend early. 4951
