I wanted to fly my XSP and run down the battery's. I hate to admit it but I have been neglecting it. There was a conversation about flying from inside the van. I got a chance to try it out. Works like a champ. I didn't push the XSP very far I didn't want to have to recover it in all that snow. As long as you can see it the signal was strong never lost the video link. It sure is a lot more pleasant to fly this way heater,radio,comfortable seat. I will do this again one day soon and see if I can get any distance but for now a resounding success. I think the ford pickup would be better because it has a lot of glass all the way around.
