So funny. A few minutes after reading this comment and I see one of the Flytrex drones flying over the highway. At least I think it was but didn’t know you guys flew in the dark.
Yes there is Echo lake about a block away right to the west of those smoke stacks, back in the 80s we had a R/C float fun fly with fuel planes with floats.
Aaww snap! Wish I had known you were going to be in Fort Worth! I live in North Fort Worth, and would love to have had the opportunity to meet you in person!
Your Granbury guy forgot to mention a famous modern celebrity; Peter Mayhew, aka Chewbacca. Chewbacca lived in Granbury for several years before moving to Boyd, Texas. He passed away at his home in Boyd and is buried in Reno, Texas. While not the subject of this vid, it is cool to know that one of the most beloved characters (and obviously the actor) of Star Wars was an honorary Texan. And while on the subject, I'm still trying to find this incinerator on the local map. When the old facility was mentioned, I thought it was the old electric plant on the north side of downtown Fort Worth. Clearly I was wrong. For some reason it's hard to find on Google maps. And I've lived in this area my whole life and don't remember ever seeing this facility.
@@KenHeron I was amazed when I heard it myself. Sadly I never got to see him. My wife's sister, husband and their family live down there so I thought I would eventually catch a glimpse. I'm sure the info is somewhere, but I'd love to know what attracted him to Granbury in North Texas. And then to move to an even smaller town in Boyd.
You never know where Ken Heron might pop-up! The abandoned power station was a great location for a mini meetup and some FPV flying. Thanks for sharing.
This was one of me and my friends favorite spots to hang out for years. One day an officer pulled up, and since we really were not supposed to be there he asked us to leave. He was chill about it and explained to us that they had just found a body recently in the bushes. The very last time we went, someone who we ran into during our exploring slipped and fell into the massive pit. No idea how he didn't get hurt badly but we heard the scream echo across to the top floor and it scared us shitless.
Hey Ken! The incinerator is one of our good bando go-tos. Next time you're around get a hold of us and we can show you a couple others. Glad you stopped by!
Well, I was really wondering what you were going to show in Ft. Worth, TX. Having taking many trips from Ft. Worth to Big Spring, it was interesting seeing what has happened to the mill at Thurber now that I-20 completely bypasses it. There used to be a pretty good restaurant at the mill. Was the courthouse Mineral Wells or Granbury?
Lots of bando places in the midwest...y'all are fortunate. Out west here, there are basically none! Or if there happens to be anything, then it is fenced, barbed wire, and surrounded with no trespassing and keep out signs. They just spent a month completely leveling a nice old steam plant here...
sorry for asking. in normal mode (not fpv), how to control the controller do move backward, rotate 180 degrees (right or left) and move forward afterwards? the concern is, how to stay in a straight line while doing 180 degrees turn?
Hey hey, been stationed in Fort Campbell now so I am about 3 hours from you and 3 hours from Joshua Bardwell, right in the middle. When is your next event?
I've lived in FW since '74 and have seen this from a distance, but always thoughtbit was locked up. If that property was somewhere else, it would be a huge apartment complex!
I use to skip school in the 80’s and go there. It use to be a great place. But a girl fell to her death there a while back. It is crazy hood around it.
Just imagine, being the sleeping homeless person in that crazy place, being woken up to a drone flying into your room !! ROFL Waffles !! wow. Someone gonna get jumped. haha. Ken your brave.

@@KenHeron It's a real thing. when I was in high school we'd drive to a rear gate that dead ended at trinity river levy and the wealthy owners backyard backed up to the dead end. we drank, did other illicit stuff there late at night. But you could see through the gate and midget town was real!! You could see all these buildings sized down for small people.
I would live to go flying over there. Where i ma in Australia has some really cool sights, but 99% of them are around people, moving cars, airports, and helipads. Basically, all the reasons why you shouldn't fly there.
@KenHeron in the city, no they don't but there is in my home town has the ideal place but the entire town has flight rescictions due to the airport. I've been looking for places to use my mini 4 pro for fpv flying. Preferably not near water since my last mini 4 pro decided it wanted to try out swimming.
@KenHeron we have bonfire night today in the UK on Nov 5th that's when guy fawkes tried to blow up the houses of parliament 400 years ago , but failed, pity, 😄 so I sent my hubsan zino 2+ drone up to take some video of the fireworks going of , it's not as big as it was in the 70s and 80s everybody bought fireworks then and sparklers , my husband zino flew beautifully really good drone . I don't fly it very often ime going to Ibiza near Spain to take some video of the solar eclipse in aug 26 and then Gibraltar a year later for the longest solar eclipse of the century, should be good , I might buy a DGI mini as well for the eclipse .
Dude you came Granbury square and you came to Fort Worth Texas Ken at you didn’t say hi😢. Well that’s terrible to hear. Well you lost a fan naw just kidding.
Granbury is also home to a drone delivery service! I’m one of the pilots there!
Really?
That's kinda awesome.
So funny. A few minutes after reading this comment and I see one of the Flytrex drones flying over the highway. At least I think it was but didn’t know you guys flew in the dark.
@@rey5597 yup! The order cutoff is 8:30 in the evening and we fly anything that's left!
Yes I was down at Granbury and happened to see a delivery drone lowering a package .Right off highway 377.
I knew an Alina, her first name was Carol. lol
😂
Cool! I used to live in Granbury, hang out in Fort Worth, but never knew about the smoke stacks.
Yes there is Echo lake about a block away right to the west of those smoke stacks, back in the 80s we had a R/C float fun fly with fuel planes with floats.

I'll be back! Beautiful area. 😎
I second that. I’m 30 minutes away.
Excellent!🤘
I'm in FW too. Give us a date you're in DFW ! 🎉
@@KenHeron Sweet! You've been one fun character to watch.. and has kept me interested in my drone... and to also get my P107! Yay!
I love watching your videos. I just passed my part 107 test today!!!
That is awesome!
Big congrats! 🎉
That was a great episode. I figured the small drones would have followed each other. Keep up the great videos.
Thanks 👍

If you are still looking for it, it is commonly called "Midget Town" by locals. You can find the location by searching that up.
Great video Ken, can't wait to see ya here in Vegas this weekend!
Looking forward to it!!🤘
That place is very nice hell of a spot to fly too great find Ken love it 👍👍👍👍👍
It sure was a fun location. 😎👍
Hey I know that guy! Haha had an amazing time getting to meet and fly with you Ken!
First Blastaa and now Ken Heron…influencer Silly
You too Mister Silly!!🤘

You betcha Ron!!

That's a heck of a story! That place is visually awesome but physically very dangerous.
"that's a long time, don't you think you should stop" Classic!!!
Hey Ken! The incinerator is one of our good bando go-tos. Next time you're around get a hold of us and we can show you a couple others.
Glad you stopped by!
Absolutely!
Such a fun area. 😎🤘
I got a giggle. Great episode!
Nice ender. And you're right, every place has one.
😄🍆
Keep on flying my friends. Keep safe 🙏
Always!
did you use the NEO for this building awesome loop Ken
I don't think the Neo could loop that. 😄
Well, I was really wondering what you were going to show in Ft. Worth, TX. Having taking many trips from Ft. Worth to Big Spring, it was interesting seeing what has happened to the mill at Thurber now that I-20 completely bypasses it. There used to be a pretty good restaurant at the mill.

The courthouse was in Granbury Texas.
Hey Ken! I got my Freewell ND filters for my Neo today! Thanks!
YAAAY!!🤘😎🤘
Another great 👍🏿 flight ✈️ 👌🏿
Thanks 👍
What kind of drone are you using at the incinerator. Is it something a beginner could pick up easily? I love the shots from above and the dives.
Anyone can learn acro with enough practice. I was using an FPV drone.
Awesome flying.
Thanks 👍
Always fun hangin' with Ken!
☺️♥️
😂🤣😅😆 opening joke was hilarious 👌
😆👍
Making friends! Proud of you buddy!
Hey Todd! 😎🤘
@KenHeron those stacks were awesome and the graffiti gallery was top notch. Stay safe out there!
Lots of bando places in the midwest...y'all are fortunate. Out west here, there are basically none! Or if there happens to be anything, then it is fenced, barbed wire, and surrounded with no trespassing and keep out signs. They just spent a month completely leveling a nice old steam plant here...
Awesome video 📹 Thankyou Ken I love the abandoned buildings so much to explore Talk Soon KEN Your crazy Canadian Fan Jamie C
Glad you enjoyed it Jamie!
sorry for asking.
in normal mode (not fpv),
how to control the controller do move backward, rotate 180 degrees (right or left) and move forward afterwards?
the concern is, how to stay in a straight line while doing 180 degrees turn?
Practice is all I can advise.
@KenHeron thank you.
Will do it!
Lots of fun
yep
Some cool spots Ken. Of course you had to go hunting for the painted peni.
There's always a painted peni. 🤣🍆
Hey hey, been stationed in Fort Campbell now so I am about 3 hours from you and 3 hours from Joshua Bardwell, right in the middle. When is your next event?
I'm in Vegas for a few days, then back to Tennessee. I'll be out your way again I'm sure 🤘
@@KenHeron Looking forward to it!
Nice video again Ken.
Maybe a stupid question but the flight along that courthouse.... dont you need a permit for that?
Thanks!
No, if it's class g airspace and the courthouse is okay with it, just use common sense and don't fly near anyone. 👍
Love your channel man
Love you for loving my channel...
Man. 😊
Interesting area. Fun footage with the drones. Uh oh, crash landing. Lol
So glad you enjoyed it!
Cool Place, seen it never flown it.. Safe Travels, hope the 5" is ok
Thanks Chris!
I was able to fix it. 👍
Wow, amazing!
I've lived in FW since '74 and have seen this from a distance, but always thoughtbit was locked up. If that property was somewhere else, it would be a huge apartment complex!
Burleson here! It's still mite be a condo multiplex in the future. Just watch!!!
I was born in FW and that furnace is not in the best part of town for new apartments, but nice you can fly drones there.
That's cool
Now that's a bando!
Texas, Nice
I use to skip school in the 80’s and go there. It use to be a great place. But a girl fell to her death there a while back. It is crazy hood around it.
OMG it's Sweatloaf!!!!!! BRAD!!!!!!!
I didn’t expect to see Grandbury instead of Fort Worth from this video lol, you got me with your click bait!
The bando is in Fort Worth
03:37 that's a Smart Vehicle !
I wouldn't be a bando without penii !
There's always one or two...
Or a hundred. 🤣
Why does Granbury tx and Downtown Denton tx look the exact same?
Because they all look alike
Such a cool art gallery! Alina is fine AF 😮😂
Ain't she though? 😆
You can buy the drones back after, and live a happy life.
True
I have tried with Air 2S following Inspire 1.. Sadly ..didnt happen :D
Hi Ken 👍

Aww, thanks Bronson.
Just imagine, being the sleeping homeless person in that crazy place, being woken up to a drone flying into your room !! ROFL Waffles !! wow. Someone gonna get jumped. haha. Ken your brave.
I wasn't too worried. Doesn't everybody in Texas carry a gun? 😜
If im not wrong, your friend couldnt draw cause he only used the phone. He needs the RC too to unlock that feature with the NEO :D
Love your videos Ken!
Thanks Levi!

It can be done ! How do controll the swarm drones,,, the RC drones can't be programed the swarm drones are pre- programed!!
You MISSED MidgetTown-- I know where it is.
Small town? 😆

I would live to go flying over there. Where i ma in Australia has some really cool sights, but 99% of them are around people, moving cars, airports, and helipads. Basically, all the reasons why you shouldn't fly there.
I think that just means that Australians don't leave their buildings to crumble for years and years. Probably a good thing!🇦🇺

Nee Noooo 05:13
That looks fun....what a cool place to visit...just amazing art work....Alina and her peens.. ..Safe Travels, sir! See you on the next stop!
It was a fascinating place indeed.
Great???? It seems we need to look up the definition of great.
Oops like a du,p ground to me.
He must have had a bad marriage to sell he's drones heartbreaking.
RIGHT?!😄

Sounds like a good time there in the lovely UK! 🇬🇧
How are there so many millionaires ?? are there really that many high paying jobs out there ??
I really don't know.
Very cool place, but I bet the rats like it too.
Why are divorces so expensive?
They're worth it!
🤣🤣
Dude you came Granbury square and you came to Fort Worth Texas Ken at you didn’t say hi😢. Well that’s terrible to hear. Well you lost a fan naw just kidding.
Aww, I'm sorry.
Next time? 😊
👍
There is cartel around that ftworth incinerator. Not safe.
Oh dear
