As I did not fly anything last year, we hope to make up for it this year. We may even get out our old water-powered rocket for the parachutes as well. So stay tuned for the continued adventures of Holly and her friends.

It’s a bird… It’s a plane… It’s neither. It is the LONG overdue One Sixth Action QUADCOPTER, built primarily for deploying sky divers which was started roughly 18 months ago when our plan for a dual copter failed. As expected, the issue that held us up WAS a programming issue but that has been sorted out and all is well. The maiden flight took place Friday, the 8th, in my son's backyard and could NOT have gone better once we replaced the original 8” props with 10” props as no 11” props were readily available…but they may get ordered. This craft sports “Position-Hold” (to keep it in a predetermined deployment position after a parachute drop) and “Return to Home” (for self-landing – that will be nice). These features will be tested very soon as our temperatures are finally climbing above freezing. I have a new transmitter too this year for increased channels. As I did not fly anything last year, we hope to make up for it this year. We may even get out our old water-powered rocket for the parachutes as well. So stay tuned for the continued adventures of Holly and her friends. Doctor
