    Oldish Newbie Question

    Hey Waffle, Coincidentally I just watched a video covering the Mavik Pro. Very, very cool, but you're right. I'm looking at racing and possibly some freestyle if my skills develop to that level. I figure if I stay low and in open areas the trees would really have to go out of their way to ruin...

    Aloha Stu! Thanks for the recommendation. The Mavik Pro tech is very cool and I could certainly put it to work here in Hawaii, but I was looking at racing and freestyle flying. Im sure at some point in the future I will be acquiring one. Thank you again.

    Thanks ArmyVet. I guess as long as our thumbs continue to function with a reasonable amount of dexterity we could do this for years to come, or until we run out of money. Whichever comes first. I've decided to stay away from abandoned buildings and trees, but I can't promise not to crash.

    Thank you holtneil. That's all I needed to hear, I'm all in! Been on a SIM for a couple of months now. Deciding on which quad to start my first build.

    Oldish Newbie Question

    Aloha Y'all and Hauʻoli Makahiki Hou! I have a question, and it's about a very sensitive topic. I was inspired by the Rotor Riot and like videos on YouTube to embark on this journey, however, I just turned 59. And let's face it, my tree climbing days are over. Does one ever reach a level of...
