I bought the drone 10 Days ago, its a Phantom 4 which is a pretty decent model, the stats on my phone say I have flown 37 missions, a total of 4.5 hours flying time, maximum height 1,100 feet, furthest distance away 15,640 feet and maximum speed 78.6 MPH!

I have just found the "follow me" mode . . . . or in this case . . . . "Follow Neil The Don" mode . . .. my first attempt

you've started something now Rick

Phantom 4? That looks like the one Chip was playing with at MFN, but then I'm like my mum with bikes - any one looks just like another

We've got a few more days of summer left here yet, so I will try taking off from the back of the boat again, and follow the tube I'm towing - the BIG problem with this is that the GPS remembers where it took off and if something goes wrong then that is where the drone returns to . . . . . . Only to find that the boat is long gone . . .

Here is mine. First flight with Bebop 2

Have your neighbours been to M F N Gotz ?

[gotz]

Ahhh... that is Franks' drift wood horse. You can YouTube him : "Frank Stephenson McLaren" or Google : "Frank Stephenson Ducati" A really nice guy to have as a neighbour. He used to ride for the Honda moto cross works team in the 70's at World champion level.

As many of you have constantly read about the area I live in from Malc & The boys trips over here, here is a long drawn out clip of my house . . . .

Will not let me see it!

Brilliant Rick. Now, where's your swimming pool though? I thought everyone in America had a pool.

Brilliant Rick. Now, where's your swimming pool though? I thought everyone in America had a pool.

The pool is in Florida Hal, and hopefully I will fly back out after Stafford into Florida and stay down there the Winter (In an ideal World) - No real need for a pool up here, you are never more than 5 Miles from a lake and they are blue as the Carribean and warmer!

Crikey, you are using your new toy to the hilt RB - you certainly must have a new perspective on life by now, eh?

A very nice part of the world to live in.
