Anyone reading this stuff may have noticed my recent absence. I’m still here and flying when I get a chance, just haven’t had a chance to fly much lately between weather and other stuff. With that said, here’s a quick video from yesterday… Enjoy!

The trusty ol’ Easy Star has been hanging up collecting dust for too long, so I got it down and flew it again. It’s a great plane to fly, and it was a great day to be flying as well!

The “DTC-1″ maiden flight was a success. I’ve got a few small adjustments I want to make in the mixing and on the plane, but for now it flies. It’s a fun plane!

There’s a guy on YouTube (Ed) with some videos showing his scratch building techniques using foam board from the Dollar Tree and packing tape. He also shows some details on a place he calls the Peace Drone that he uses for FPV. I liked what I saw, so I thought I’d give it a shot …

Anyone who’s ever scratched the actual camera lens on their GoPro and not the protective lens in the housing will tell you how unpleasant it is to replace! Not to mention costly, when you can find the lens. That said, I still fly my camera out of it’s case on some planes to save weight …
