    It seemed to work well for the quick test flight. I'll get a more comprehensive test in next weekend.

    Northern Michigan/WI

    I don't remember if I pulled those ones off the card with my USB reader or the reader built into my Surface. I'll have to take note of which I use next time and watch for the blurriness.

    Northern Michigan/WI

    I normally come up through Eagle River. When I lived in Northern MN and when stationed in ND, I'd make the trek on 2.

    Minnesota - Area Code 952 - 651 - 612 Meetups & Flyins

    If you feel like coming out to get some flying in, the local platoon of "The Mission Continues" (I am a member) asked me to get some footage of them in the Run As One event at Lake Calhoun on the 28th. I'll go check it out and if I think I can safely get some video and photos without putting...

    F-16 Drone - a full size UAV

    I used to refuel planes, including the F-16, in air (KC-135 Boom Operator 1995-2006). I do not know if they refuel the remote piloted version in air yet, but I am sure the day is coming. I am glad I am not up there to see it.

    too big?

    My P2V+ arrived today. As I do not own an Android device and want to sell the lone iOS device left in my house, I needed a display. An Android emulator and a Surface Pro 3 seem to work. :lol: My son had to bring his flying toy in so the camera had something to capture. It is too cold to take...

    How we do winter...

    I intend to fly mine in a national forest this summer. I have a cabin in a national forest in the upper peninsula of MI. So unless the forest service comes out and announces new rules before then...
