    Chuck,
    DF4 has a thread that has excellent GoPro info. I am not a camera guy. About all I do at the drone business anymore is flight training.

    thanks steve I'll give that a try. I guess the new rule that your teaching is never fly upur drone at 0300 hr and especially not when you've been drinking .

    Chuck,
    I've found that when one drinks, the flying is very smooth .... but the flights are very short!

    Tomorrow, about noon, 4 of us, in 3 planes, will head out for a 3 day, 2 night airplane camping trip. First stop is Huntington, UT (69V) for fuel. Then on to the San Rafel Swell Wilderness Area to set up camp at Mexican Mountain airstrip. The plan is to unload and set up camp, relax a little, then return to Huntington via Cedar Mountain airstrip for dinner in town. Then fly back to Mexican Mountain for a bonfire, drinks and sleep.
    Tues morning we will head towards Hubbard airstrip (9CO3) stopping at some more backcountry airstrips along the way. We will spend Tues night camping at Hubbard airstrip.
    Wed morning we plan to land at several other backcountry airstrips as we work our way back home to Morgan, UT (42U) and Ogden, UT (KOGD). It should be a great backcountry trip. Follow along if you have interest. My SPOT link is in my signature line.

    And the landings could be a little rough!

    A few pics and video for an Ice Fly In at Great Sacandaga Lake (lunch at the Sport Island Pub) and Lake Desolation, NY (outhouse races). The Turbine Beaver (on the end of the 1st pic) was one amazing machine to watch.
