Default Flyover of the CR501 tunnel, McClure, DeSoto, Linden, and Monarch Grove 7-1-18
So here is a flyover from Sunday of the new Tunnel under CR510 that is under construction as well as a low level flight down Fenney way from CR468 to the Sugar Cane recreation area and a general flyover of Monarch Grove and the "Island" and "Moat" that makes up most of Linden.

Fenney Way and the Tunnel

I had a little fun with the music on this one, it classical style music from some movies. I've put some hints in as to what movies the selections are from and reveal the names in the end credits.

I hope you enjoy this new video.

I was wondering if you were going to fly through the tunnel. Would you have had your radio signal? Oh yeah, great video, thanks!

Another great video. I have the dreaded Comcast up here in Chicago, and Comcast added a YouTube App a few months ago, so I can watch your videos on my larger screen TV.

Just think in a few years the areas you are flying over will have homes, golf courses and rec centers on them. Wow, no wonder The Villages needs 2 maps now to cover all of The Villages.

Was really considering going through but was about 100 ft away and 15 ft higher. Also I’d have to turn down the gain on the remote for tight maneuvers and they were turned up for more aggressive flying. Maybe tomorrow morning.

This was fantastic! Thanks. You must have a really advanced drone.
