Cool looks like it was a nice summer day! Won't be so nice and green there right now, eh? Thanks.

| Ben, how good is the view inside your goggles? I'm really interested in FPV RC! I love to fly gliders, and a quad is in my future... |

It's like being in the 70'... ha ha ha. Nah it's not so bad at all. What you need is a fairly good camera with 90 FOV. Some take time to adjust but me it took me 2 flight.
I also fly RC glider in FPV... more smooth. But since I was 13 I had a RC radio in my hand. Quad eats battery like crazy. I have 8 of those.
Just for you:

Here is a test I did with a new stabilized gimbal.

Ben
Looks like you move somewhere else than the old shop where I used to go see you near Papineau…
Plenty of space to store many Vanagons….maybe you should start a yard like the guy with the 200+ Vanagons on the East Coast…

Yes, out of town, nature... space and good folks. My rent here is 400$ compare to 1500$ at the older shop. 3 minutes from home.
Back to work, I need to do 4 conversions before the 15 of January....
