Nice job Tony.
Amazing how stable these things are now.

First off, its really good to see that youre still around, Tony! I think about you often.

As for your video...that was fantastic! You've got a great machine that will be much MUCH more tame than your sunken 450 but this will also be very rewarding because of all the stable video you can take and share.

Have fun with it, buddy!

Thanks Lee, Derek. It's an easy machine to fly that's for sure. Will learn FPV easily now not having to worry about height... I bought a car charger and carry bag this week so it's easier to carry around. I've got 2 batteries for it at mo, but will get a third..

Anyone else other than Graham got a phantom. I'd love to hear some tips and tricks anyone...

I'll be posting more vids soon...

I'll also be reading your posts and try and catch up on what's been going on..

Cheers guys..

You are a braver man than me Tony flying over water:) I cut a couple of bits of a pool noodle that i tie to the feet if i fly over water so if the power dies i have flotation should it land in water at least it will float and can be recovered rather than sink:)

I purchased a DJI Spark for client.
He wants it to survey his surroundings from his boat when anchored up.
He doesn't have a clue, so i'm getting to fly it.
When his boat is finished, sometime this summer, I'll be getting aerial footage of the launch with the Spark

That will be some great video, Lee! I'll be watching for it!
