That jet is slick. I don't have the reaction time these days to fly that safely.

BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
R/C flying anyone?

Are you air force brother? CIA? Army recon?
That's a bad ass little quad. If your looking for a way to practice flying try the nano qx mini quad. It flies just like the big ones but it's tiny and safe to fly indoors. I get a lot of practice by chasing the cats around the house. It will bind right up with your spectrum radio. Get a few extra batteries too. Fly safe. I can tell you first hand what those props will do to your fingers.

I've been flying the mini indoor quads for about 9 months. Really the only thing that gave me the confidence to get the big one. I randomly put a low offer on an eBay sale and the guy accepted!
The full size and outdoor (fighting decent winds today) is a whole other ball game lol. I think next time I go out the dog needs to stay home, I need to bring the laptop with me to adjust PIDs and maybe fly in a different portion of the park that isn't so narrow

Army, for the last 11 years
I watched a lot of RC video yesterday. Most of it was from Germany I believe. Lots of HUGE RC craft. (even a freaking 4 engine military transport, lol)
One thing I noticed in all of them was the huge sigh of relief then they landed without damage.

Haha. There is definitely a pucker factor when flying

There's a HUGE pucker factor, directly proportional to the amount of cash you've got in the air!
Just pulled the trigger on another plane. I apparently will not rest until my personal speed record (126 mph), or bank account, is shattered. I pray this ends well (for the plane).

That's the little guy I saw on flitetest this morning on my commute. Looks like a blast

I started off flying planes and heli's (never got very good at either) but these days it's all UAV stuff. I've got a DJI F550 that I've modified the shit out of (its closer to a 650 now) and a DJI 450 clone, and my newest addition to the club, a 3DR Solo. Fuck I love that quad.
Surprisingly great. Obviously you need the lights on indoors if it's nighttime but the clarity is better than I expected and the range is good enough for me. Might try some longer range stuff this weekend
