Title: Long Time No See!
Post by: Ryan Taylor on March 31, 2018, 10:56:38 PM

Hey people!

So it finally stopped raining in Nashville today and I had the chance to get some handle time after about a 3-4 year hiatus.
My Dad is in town, so we snuck out after a delicious breakfast and drove over to an open field by my house.

Yep. Ryan still takes his dad flying. And he is into quad building and flying. He is not into the  competition side just likes punching holes in the sky. He was the same way with CL, just enjoyed flying and hanging out.
He builds these little mini quads the are the size of a butterfly. Was cool to get the perspective of the plane from a bug. 😊

I have tried it and FPV flying is kewl. A little disorienting when you take the goggles off. 🙃

Right goodie!
I would have never known about this site had Ryan not told me a few years ago when I got back into CL.
Shug...he who wants the snow gone!

Yes. But it's as small and light at a butterfly. I would not classify it as a quad or drone. It's more like a toy quad.

Well a couple of Christmas' ago the wife got me one to play with.  I tried and tried.   My grandson came over one day while I was trying again to hover.  He took the controller and flew it all over the living room, dining room and den.   It wound up going home with him.  And yes he can fly control line.  He help George Hostler when he was in town a few years ago. H^^

I think he is now 16 as he has a drivers license and his own diesel powered pick up.   Had to get a step ladder for me when we went to the races last year using his truck. D>K
