[James E Beasley]

Or is it in Huntsville, AL? I really don't know.

Actually it is Jeff, Jay & Max in the pic. That drone was so cool. A professional photo drone. When it took off and the landing gear and all the rotors moved up and spread out it looked like a Star Wars fighter. Can't wait to see the videos it took.

So that club no longer has to schedule with the park service for use of a pond like they did for years correct?

I like that you can drive right up to the pits. That is fantastic! It is a long drive from Virginia but sure looks like it would be worth it.

John we have over 750 feet of runout on each end now!

I have the bug and will probably get a drone before too long myself. Not sure I can justify the DJI Inspire he had for 3 grand but they make a smaller $1200 Phantom version with the same flight control system. Was a really neat piece of equipment.

The blue/black boat in the early part of the video is my SST with the Nova DD 91. It was strolling.

Still to be determined we usually have access once to 2 times a month.

Mic...I have been flying my Phantom 3 for about 3 months now....really amazing quad copter. Super stable video and a great flyer, it is pretty easy to fly also. I use it for Real Estate pics and have flown it in some pretty tight areas. Get one...it's a blast.

 

[Joe Warren]

Thanks Joe it's only the 1st phase and the City of Huntsville are the ones that did the bulk of the heavy work. The engineer that did our surveys was and out at the lake with us almost all day Friday and Saturday. We can hardly wait for the spring when they are going to start on the drivers stand, 2 pavillions, hard parking, and electric power.
