Met a local drone pilot. I’m particularly proud of this zero wind launch.

Looking good! I especially like the way you expertly avoided the goal. 
Beautiful video too! Thanks for posting it! Bill
Yeah thanks. That little jink to the right did the trick for some extra clearance. The APCO Hybrid responded nicely.
hey, I know that wing! glad it’s getting great use. looking great!

Sure is. Thank you. The launch previous to the one in the video was way janky. The wind mid field tried to dump me but with the Hybrid I was able to run it out. Actually was airborne then put my feet back down and ran three more steps. No way I’d have launched that Buzz Z3 in the conditions that day.

Had an airborne rendezvous with that drone pilot the other day. Here’s some raw air-to-air video on Google Drive.

More drone video of me flying. Different drone pilot. Loving the X4 20+ minute flights with 8 Bonkas. First flight with my Dave Clarks on. Seems the X4 is blasting out some serious RF interference in the air band. Had to move the ICOM AC14 right up to my chest to shield it.
