".... But I think that is possibly making me a better pilot."- David

I think it will. If you feel comfortable piloting "Line of Site" you have a decent chance of piloting it back to launch site if there is a "glitch" in the First Person View transmission or the flightcontroller's autopilot functions and you need to rely on LOS and piloting skills.

I learned to fly "Line of Sight" on really cheap Fixed Pitch Heli's and quadcopters. I am having all kinds of problems flying First Person View from a monitor. I need to sit down. For all practical purposes I use FPV only to give me a quick view of what I am videoing or trying to video.

I enjoy just cruising around doing circles and figure 8's and staying within my property boundaries.

And not bothering anyone.

I really like the P3P. I do not like the tracking and no fly zone operation by "by design" with the flightcontroller data collection systems, but I fly "by the book" so it really is not an issue.

Got 4 new blinds up today. They been sitting on the floor for months. 2 were up already, but they rubbed the window sill. Ended up cutting 2" square blocks from scrap 1/2" oak plywood, nailed them above the trim, then put blind bracket on.

I have analog and ip video recorders. Like ip better, but they all work about 5 yrs then die. Probably have 10 or so cameras up.
IP system was qsee 8 channel sytem that came with 6 cameras. Recorder failed after a few yrs, bought a dahua 8 channel recorder to replace it. Qsee is a relabeled dahua. I decided if i want more that 8 channels i would do 2 systems instead of 1. My analog system supports 16 cameras, i have some i havent put up.

We’ve had robins since January, what we need is warm weather!

Went to church, went to breakfast, went for a long walk around the property and beyond, did some shopping at the dollar store, Sams Club, and Harbor Frieght, she loves HF! She tried out the front end loader, she needs a little polish on it, she can drive the tractor fine though, grew up on a farm. We had some serious talks and some hijinks, great weekend! I think we both hated to see it end.

Congrats Randy, you are doing great!

Nice day today, ran some errands, lunch out, cleaned up the shop a bit, cooked salmon on the grill. Life is good.

Have a good one!

Does this mean the popsicle sticks and duct tape worked?:laughing:

Weather for next week moving north then south. As a rule though not always what is shown generally ends up more north. Time will tell but if I were a betting person Thomas gets more snow

Good Evening All!
Cold weather here in NH and definitely no tractor
time since the last storm. Too dang cold!

Buppies - as the renowned 'Good Morning' weather guru,
hope you can answer a question regarding the weather
model image that I've included below. What are the
numbers in the color bar across the top of the image?
