    I havent had much "seat time" on final cut pro, lots of video projects to edit/upload...

    The flying is going well, I did have a run in with a black lab at my friends house a few nights ago, no damage to the quad BUT the dog didnt like the feeling of the prop tips spinning at super sonic speed... It only made the dog MORE angry at the quad after he got nipped... :O

    Nope, no damage, and in retrospect he saved me from possibly loosing the quad OR having to go deep into the woods to find it, the battery was nearly dead... Long story...


    ANYWAY, I Have to get some kind of flotation on the landing gear for flying over the river later today... some guys use the grey foam PIPE insulation that you would use around your water heater pipes... THe quad would prolly be toast BUT at least the GOPRO could be recovered/saved IF it goes into the Missouri River later today...

    AS for PRO, I haven't recieved a nickle for anything so I guess I can't claim to be a PRO...

    Going back for a third night tonight, and get some more video... Awards ceremony is tonight, the solo first place was about 36 hrs 45 minutes...


    THis is a very cool time lapse of an entire 55+ hour 2014 26th place mixed tandem couple... I REALLY think I need to prep and do this event...
