Tomorrow is the first day of a brand new year at work, so why not celebrate that a little
After all, thats what pays for most of our Phantoms!

I do cctv pipe inspection, which is a great job!
If the weather is good I'm usually traveling around inspecting all kinds of pipes, mostly storm drains and sewer pipes.
When the weather is bad I'm usually in my office making reports.
Here's some of my gear for the smaller pipes as seen from a Phantom:

And I cant help posting a scenery pic from the same album:

Work at a job I hate but am too old to get equivalent employment elsewhere.  So I just have fun whenever I can to compensate.  I have been into RC craft of all flavors for the past 40 years and working as an engineer in the capacitor/dielectric film industry for the last 20.  I regularly have one vehicle/plane/craft/quad or another at work for lunchtime escape.

Thank you, thank Mother Earth and Thanks DJI

lb11778 my crash?
I've analyzed it to death here  and it looks like the one of the cells spiked below 3v.
I'm not sure though as voltage, speed and altitude all went up on several occasions  during the flight.
That's simply not possible so it might have had a brainfart and kept going.

It's great to see this many people from all kinds of occupations and walks of life in here!

I'm a Ladle Metallurgical Furnace Operator. It sounds complicated, but I add alloys and compounds to molten steel to satisfy customer requests. Basically, I am a bartender who's drinks are 2900 degrees F (1593 C). While that is what I get paid to do, my interests are much different. I am a bodybuilder and personal trainer in my spare time. I also do a lot of coding (Windows and Android development) and computer work.

I am the National Product Support and Training Manager for a company that builds rock crushers and screens.  I have been involved with heavy equipment in one form or another since I joined the US Air Force and became a heavy equipment mechanic.  Along the way to where I am, I have made several stops each one expanding upon the last opportunity.  Recently bought a P3P to video our equipment for sales, marketing and service.  Last company we hired to make a video turned out something we could not use as they did not know the equipment and did not consult before they edited the video.   I know what we need and I just have to learn a new skill to get it done.  Loving the P3P.
