What I would have liked though, is a cut of every pool sold. Holy cow, I never realized how many pools we have around here!!!

Damm you look like someone I used to work with. What's with all the pools in your area? Man if you hit that kitty PETA would have had a bounty on you.

Seeing the cat on the video is the #1 reason why I won't fly in heavy wind anymore, just reminded me you never know what you can hit. An accident can still happen, I can live with that but I knew the winds were too strong, so that's not really an accident, right? So lesson learned, at least put the chance on my side.
BTW, I also bought the xport drop zone adapter, so I can drop a little parachutist via a press of a button on the remote. I've got another camera on order, once I get it in, I plan on replacing the little guy with the camera (or attach the camera to him) and then have both cameras rolling (and timed). Might be cool to link them together in a youtube video, one snaps the gate open and the chute/camera drop, while the other is filming all the way down. All the youtube vids I've seen that have tried this seem to show the parachutist camera POV is just rotating out of control, but I have an idea about that, that might bring stability on the way down. :)

It isn't paradise, but it IS different. The reason I am glad to live here is that it isn't "just like everywhere else". Sameness would kill me young...

It's still bizarre that he's referring to detached homes, with yards big enough for swimming pools as "cubicles".

And here's the next video, winds were gentler, flew from a different spot (but close-by). I can't say it often enough, this camera kicks ass.

Maybe you suburb/city folk don't know what a yard is, but I can assure you... those aren't yards, they are postage stamps. If you need a riding mower to cut your grass then you have a yard, otherwise you have a "lawn" which is yuppie speak for that puny 15 feet of grass between your driveway and your neighboors. The fact that some of them crammed pools into their back lawn areas doesn't make them any bigger.
But I'm not knocking it....there are advantages to different types of neighborhoods, I'm just saying... it isn't strange at all to call them cubicles.
Getting back on topic, these little cameras are cool, I need to pick some up and see what uses I can find for them.
I'm thinking instead of a rc plane, maybe a rc-blimp. The slow movement would make for better footage.
