Re: My New "Toy"
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

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

There is no such thing as bad drink, just some better than others.

Re: My New "Toy"
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 . . .

Nobody really cares if you're miserable, so you might as well be happy.

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.

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

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