I've been out of action for the last few weeks while my drone was being repaired. I was goofing off showing someone how the aircraft was able to stabilize itself and pushed it a little too far. The aircraft crashed, landed on its back, and damaged the camera gimble motors. You can see my stupidity on my YouTube Page. I was able to fly but couldn't control the camera so I had to get it repaired. Luckily, the damage wasn't too severe and cost less than $90 to repair. UPS is scheduled to deliver it on Wednesday and I'm planning my flights for Thursday morning assuming my test flights go well after it arrives, safety first.

Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero
Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
