Mockup of the newest bird...

[Jtrjr]

Skitzo's first quick hover test. Just had to take Skitzo outside and at least see if he'll hover. Hovered fine with no heat. In the 2 minutes outside the bugs had a feeding frenzy with me!

No time to spare on this one. As soon as I landed and got the bird in the thunderstorms opened up. It's been banging ever since. Anyway, Skitzo is now alive and flight worthy. Just set some basic PID's, rates and eliminated three filters. Second half of short clip is dark GoPro footage just to hear the motors. No big push on the throttle just yet, I want to break in the motors a bit first just to make sure everything is solid. I think this bird is going to be pretty zippy!

Sun just came out, if the wind dies down I might be able to burn a pack or two.

Yeah, this one is going to be a blast! Got to blow a couple of packs this evening. It feels really good so far. Can't wait to get a chance to run a dozen packs through it. I posted a little video in the photo area.

Good luck with the smoking! I've been smoking my whole life too but everyone on my Mothers side (5 of them, including my Mother) were life-long smokers, they quit and within 3 years of quitting died of lung cancer. I've got a few years yet before they put me in a home so I figure I'll quit about 3 years before I think they may try to get rid of me!

Seriously, good luck, it's a very difficult thing to do.

Hey I smoke since I'm 15 iv heard that people that quit after so many years dye in a couple of years. Right now I'm 69
