Soloshot

The weather was perfect at Toledo this morning, we got there about 8:30.  After unloading the planes and chairs, I set up the Soloshot and calibrated it.  It took me 3 flights, but I finally got all the settings the way they are supposed to be.  In the picture, the Soloshot is tracking the Sukhoi just the way I hoped it would.  I am also sitting on my new high folding chair, by the end of the day I was loving it.

This is not a very clear picture, I had been messing with the zoom and didn't refocus.  The white blob on the top wing is the GPS tag that tells the camera where to point.  The Soloshot did a good job of recording my landing out in the field when the battery sagged.  It has not been used for a long time and it will need cycling a couple of times to get it back to normal.  I also need to add some right thrust as the Dr-1 was pulling hard to the left under power.

Just like the forecast said it would, the wind came up about noon, so we packed up as it was getting pretty warm.  We stopped at the South Lewis County Park to have lunch and watch the birds.  This goose was swimming around honking like mad.  After we got home, we washed the motor home and the Blazer.  80 degree weather sure makes a person ambitious!
