Default First along the golf cart path Brownwood to Fenney

I decided to take a run along the proposed multi-modal trail from Brownwood to Fenney and return. As I am using my old GoPro 2 camera, the picture quality is not up to today’s standards. I just can’t hold my newer Canon to take movies and fly the Cub at the same time without scaring me and people on the ground. At least it gives you an inkling as to the route and time it will take. Note: I am not passing any cars along the Florida Turnpike!

Turn down the sound as I didn’t do music but only the sound I enjoy hearing as the sound of silence would not be good. Can hardly wait to be able to fly under all the golf cart bridges.

Put a machine gun on the front of that thing......take out some snowbirds while you're up there.

Lol, he better make sure it’s in sync with his propeller.

I'm curious to know your altitude and speed when you recorded the video.

Great job of keeping your cap on. Mine blows off in the golf cart at 19.9999999999999999999 mph unless I wear it backwards.

Speed around 65~70 MPH not passing cars on turnpike
check time record on video to speed to estimate golf cart travel times.

Altitude around 1,000 a bit higher than the golf cart bridges.

love to fly and always wear a headset for sound reduction and helps keep the hat on!

However maps sometime do fly out the open door. Thankful for GPS on my cell phone when that happens.

So at 20 MPH, it will take about 12 minutes by golf cart to get to the corner of 468/501? Does that seem about right? That really is not that bad.

If this was not a problem it wouldn’t be discussed. Carts do not travel as crows fly.

That's way optimistic, cart paths do not fly like a crow, they have stop signs, they have to cross entrances to villages, go thru tunnels etc where speed is reduced, try again at average speed of maybe 12-15 mph.
