    Driving a batter pile on the Illinois River

    I took this video of some work we were doing at a grain terminal in Meredosia Illinois. Still need to work on framing the shot better, but it came out ok.

    Memorial Day

    Oak Grove Cemetery in LaCrosse WI. Done with permission and only when there were no visitors around. This weekend isn’t just about beer and barbecue. Thanks to all who have served....

    Spark Max Wind Speed

    YEP!! It’s been very windy here in Wisconsin the last few days, until yesterday. My flight time was cut pretty much in half flying in winds 18+mph(ground level). Yesterday and today in relatively calm, I’m back up to 11-13 minutes. I’ve only had my Spark a little over a month and I’m already...

    Interference?

    I think I’ve attached the file properly in a comment. Thanks for the help! Much appreciated!

    Interference?

    I’ve attached the flight record. Pretty embarrassing. 3 warnings that I didn’t even notice that there was compass interference. Definitely a learning experience.

    Interference?

    That’s what I’m guessing. That crane has 223’ of 6’x8’ steel lattice boom that was 30’ away. It’s sitting on a 75’x200’ steel barge, and there were steel buildings all around us. Plus a steel sheeting wall that the barge was tied up to. I’m going to attempt to decipher the flight log, but I am...

    Bad take off

    Yes it hit the ceiling and wall. Fell about 7 feet onto a carpeted floor. Nothing serious that I could discern. 2 of the props were damaged. I have plenty of replacements. I think my pride sustained the most damage. Rookie mistakes.

    iPad Mini 5

    I got the cellular model and added it to my Verizon plan. They have a pretty attractive promotion right now, and the added monthly expense is minimal. The iPad itself is not cheap, but like you said, should be good for quite a while. Looking forward to trying it.

    iPad Mini 5

    So I purchased the newest iPad mini 5 today. Primarily for flying. Unfortunately the weather isn’t cooperating and I haven’t been able to try it out. Anyone else using this? Feedback?
