    Appreciate the breakdown of the auto pilot software, I have been using an Eagletree Vector, and I love the OSD and flight control functions but have always been curious about auto pilot, and I really like the telemetry on the laptop. Keep up the great videos, I enjoy watching them, I used to fly at 60 acres park all the time which has the same look as where you fly, admittedly its probably fairly close to your test field.

    You do such great videos, nice nice work. :-) I especially like the Mavic chase footage. I love quads, they're amazing, but my first and truest love will always be fixed wing. When you said how you love flying that Ranger in for landings, I was totally on the same page with you. Every time I brought my FPV planes in for touchdown, it felt just brilliant. Taking off, flying and landing in a fixed wing is... just right. :-) I really like that plane, btw. If I was just starting out with RC and FPV, I'd definitely start with one of those. Not sure how I feel about plastic parts because I learned on and did my whole reign of terror on foamies, but still. NICE plane.
    BTW I've taken to studying your videos as a how-to guide. It's not like I couldn't just pick up where I left off and build myself a custom FPV flyer like no big deal, but you're really truly _good_ at this. Anyone can learn quite a lot from how you do things. BTW, don't you need some solars on top of that wing? ;-)
