C'mon then, Ken. Blow the dust off those props and get aloft

Aloha Roger,

     Well, you are correct that I may not be flying as much as I could (and have too many excuses) but maybe I should just sync my recent flights and add a few thousand feet to my distance figure.  Of course I will never catch up with you now that you have completely caught the flying bug!

     Your choice of the Mavic Pro makes sense seeing as your French friend has the Parrot.  Another factor is I have been experimenting with PANO, so many of my flights are close but spent setting up shots.  I did get a nice one from up in the Pali but it is 32-37 MB.  Maybe I can drop the resolution enough to fit in my next post.  I am going to upload the full shot to DropBox at some point here.

     Keep flying!  I am looking forward to more!

Aloha and Drone On!

Aloha Roger,

     Well, I added 57,987 feet to my Flight Distance!  But still no where near you.  Here is one of my VOGgy PANOs.



Update, new mileage!  Just added the Mavic Air distance, News at 9!

Aloha and Drone On!

Is that a pano looking down on your village, Ken?  Your recorded distance is catching me up   I only did 350 metres yesterday - under trees and over a river in confined space.

Aloha Roger,

     Yup!  You better keep looking over your shoulder!  Yes, that is my village of Kahalu'u and that is Kaneohe Bay makai of the village.  Try this link for a better DropBox view;

Yes the detail is far superior on that version - even on full zoom in. Thanks

Aloha Roger,

     Yes, I should put a little circle around my little grass shack.  You can actually see my launch spot in all that!

Aloha and Drone On!
