Georgia Florida Trippin
#1
On a road trip to Florida from Georgia I spent as much time as I could during the week flying in several spots. This is the footage from that flying! 

I am really happy how this video turned out and while I was upset a bit about music initially (I had other music planned that didn't work out) I think this music fits the feel even better  Heart  Whistling  Thumbs Up

At the end @8:14 I was having significant loss of video and all I could think about is how I needed to avoid the water!

(Language advisory, I use the D-word in the first few seconds of the video :p )

Yeah, your panic was definitely evident and well founded too!
Nice flying and the chill-out music selection complimented it really well.
Your flying is looking more and more locked in as well, but not as many super power burns as I have come to expect from you, I imagine the sound of your batteries un-puffing is a bit like a sigh of relief!
Windless fields and smokeless builds

Yeah... while the Go Pro caught the full view of it... it was sort of like "flash of sight here, OMG water there, correct and fly the other way, look I am headed towards trees! thank goodness! trees!... oooh and I landed on the ground so great! lol... 

As for the power... In this video because the areas are a little tighter than the CCRC field I am not as much full throttle but the one spot with the 3 trees I killed 2 batteries at... so I dunno about un-puffing... I think I just need the more serious batteries for how I fly is all and I should be good. The Lumeniers just don't quite cut it for me. If I was a "fly around and explore" kind of pilot that would be one thing... but I like to have full throttle punchouts that last 4-10 seconds sometimes and that just doesn't cut it with the motor/prop combo that I am using and batteries that aren't ready to hold up to hot abuse.

I love when I can get the feel of moving backwards while flying it feels like I am getting the quad to do something it shouldn't be doing somehow

It's funny... at this point when I see one of the Lumeniers puffed... or actually before that now, when I feel it dying in the air (because I can clearly tell when it's happening now which is probably better and somewhat safer. I can control the landing and get it out of the air before it explodes) I don't get too upset about it... it's more like "OK, there goes another one... they're all going to die eventually [evil=voice]Bwaha ha ha ha ha ha[/evil]".
