Today went well. Shot test runs yesterday, and did a bunch of scouting. Today the weather was perfect. 25 degrees, no wind, lots of sun, and a good crew.

One near miss....my spotter was yelling at me, but I flew through some dead brances (small diameter). Chopped them up, and kept flying. No damage at all.

The spot will air next month, I think in Indiana for a trade show.

We flew all day. Over and over again. Do it again, and again, now do it this way, now fly in there, now fly over there. Get closer, get higher, go slower.....

Cold fingers...couldn't wear gloves today. Had to fly too close to things to not have a good feel for the sticks.

I really gotta learn to fly one of those things!

The photos are great! Where's the link to the video? I'd like to see the shots while it was flying through the trees.

It's in the hands of the editors. I'll post a link to it when it's available.

Muzzy?

I'll look for the video at Indy.
