    Bought open box, need help checking out flight logs

    Well look at me, I came back here to post my video to find a bunch of DO NOT ATTEMPT posts...after I had (against better judgement) taken a short flight in my 9' x 9' entrance foyer. (I used the new props. I'll toss the used ones and get another set or two before going on my trip.) I know it...
