It certainly challenged & improved my pilot skills flying with an underpowered gyro - in these conditions! Posted lots of pics on FB. Got my first video edited ....YAYYYY ... after a long hiatus due to the crap"upgrades" to iMovie ... making it unusable for me and the fiasco with my editing computer last year ... I'm back in the Gopro movie making! Glenn & I had a magical 5 days "pre-ROTR" private fly-adventures around the MOAB area ... gyros based at Canyonlands airport(Moab) .... we have been busy editing & youTubing the masses of footage we shot! he helped me find a new mac- video editor that I can get along with! We flew 8-10 in the morns ... then spent the rest of days at camp processing Gopro, pics chatting and relaxing - on vacation! here is the first of my vids ..... Glenn's ... here - https://youtu.be/CVxFnOW_6dA https://youtu.be/Vh6sbk2m1a4 https://youtu.be/Z8QvpTc3qPs MY FIRST MOAB VID! .... https://youtu.be/ru3-H2cNqZQ _________________

But it is beautiful nonetheless. _________________ A walk in the woods helps me relax and release tension. The fact that I am dragging a body should be entirely irrelevant!

It was amazing ...as hostile "tiger-terrain-ish" as it appears in the limited camera view ... I was very comfortable in all but a few spots ... where an engine blip would have been nasty! 95% of the time we were within landing distance of good 4wheel drive tracks, good sealed tourist roads & open spaces with track access ... the area is riddled with quad/jeep trails! _________________

As soon as I got the bug for gyros. I knew I wanted to fly Moab as you just did! I've driven bikes and jeeps all over Moab and always envied the birds as I watch them fly where I could not go. Now I got to fly in gyro's vicariously with you and Glen!!! Awesome, really, cannot wait until I get the two place done and do the same. Thank you Glenn and Chris for sharing!!!! I know how much time it take, and then with problems. It really is appreciated! _________________ Resistance is futile…… You will be compiled!
