      Just bought myself a wing yesterday to get into the fixed wing stuff, I'm definitely stoked about it, quads are fun but the fixed wing side of the hobby seems really fun in it's own way.

    Hi Bruce, Ron, Bill and Gordon. Looks like a great day for flying, I don't know if you remember the E-flite mustang back in the 90s but it reminded me of Bill's little plane. It looks like Gordon is going through cars again. lol wow I see a fishing drone , are we going to start seeing fishing videos ??? And you don't need a canopy during your summer, it's a convertible. I will say DJI has the best video of anything out there. I can't wait until someone makes a 360 camera in the 360go size , then I would love to get one. Thanks again for the video and have a great week.

Good Job to you All, it's always fun and a laugh. That Swell Pro would have cost a wee bit lol..👊💯

    On the DynM AT-6 he needs to put a hole in the bottom of the plane behind the wing let the ventilation exit that the motor is pushing in to the battery bay to cool the esc ,mine did the same thing until I put a hole in it

    check out the instant trim function. makes trimming a wildy out of trim model much easier. assign to a switch it uses the stick position to adjust trim, only thing to be aware is its addititive so doing instatrim again adds ontop of previous trim.

      @@xjet Bruce, it said "15 seconds" ... but who cares about being first when there are more important things in life like inclusion.
      The FPV Drone is the only chance to get fpv access for handicapped people.
      That is the real shame. People with just a right hand that can hold the motion stick get access. Same for shakers, people with a Tremor that can not or no longer fly planes due to missing remote / input alternatives.
      People that suffered from a hand accident find hope, elder pilots that lost ability to fly any longer RC planes would love the DJI fpv drone limited behaviour - they would not want acro Mode free style rides 10 cm below the ground, they would be happy being back to old glory days of RC plane flying and now even more immersed.
      DJi should have claimed: we offer fpv for handicapped that can hold a stick and move the hand.
      That would help to improve the bad reputation and reception of Drones and Drone Flyers in the public and would be a proof that inclusion works.
      Also DJI could fight back the evil image they get more n more in the community or maybe had earned !
      The MOTION STICK, we had laughed about first, is the real innovation DJi should emphasize more and develope further to control Mini 2 and Air 2 ...
      I guess you are the one that can understand it from the pov of not or no longer flying and feeling the freedom of flying and fpv.
      The best Ambassador I guess - and no offense regarding old man flying where I had been talking about a 90+ years YOUNG guy flying to his porch inspecting tomatoes ...
      And remember: such 90+ years YOUNG jumper would have called you what ?
      a Baby - back in the days when he had been 23 just 68 years ago.
      Just a question of pov.
      Hope you might talk about the motion stick cause it also gets our wives and daughters into the Hobby they did not got access to cause the usual remote is not intuitive enough and if they flew they always feared to crash and could not enjoy it , had no peace of mind.
      DJI could easily shout out for a "Help the handicapped to fly and immerse. We support this Initiative with x units in your country." or a 600€ discount for eligible buyers and 100€ for the Trainer or Ambassador ... which sounds far better.
      But the Motion Stick might deserve more attention and also a left hand version or a retro fit kit.
      Hope you'll become the next Ambassador for FPV Drone flying.

    yooOo old bugger o/ i just stumbled over your odysee rant and gotta say you probably got some things wrong. your youtube-account may be so old you just dunno it it's needed to add a phone or debit card-number. same for messenger like whatsapp, telegram, signal, ect. I don't say i like it but that's the standard all over. adding a phone number for registration (there are rules! like on every 'platform' releasing other person private data is forbidden like it is to call for violence ect. Those platform need the possibility to enforce those rules). while youtube is biased towards a certain ideology and will censor, micro-manage and manipulate in order to reach their ideology-utopia odysee won't - they are as 'truly free speech' as the law allows. ofc we shouldn't just believe them and stay skeptical but the system is open-source and set up in a way to back that promise up.
    another point is: you can earn cash with youtube or odysee - you gotta have that 'real life' connection in order to receive revenue.
    odysee is set up like bitcoin (simply said) and by uploading and viewing 'you generate coins'. so you're not rly "the product" especially your data aren't!! all you do on odysee is visible to others (any upload/change/transaction - just like bitcoin). the difference to youtube: they won't use your data or censor you.
    if you plan to have a guerilla channel - there are many ways to get hands on a throw-away-cellphone.
