A Weekend to Remember

I have a confession to make: I meant to publish this blog post months ago, it was authored in June… ope… Despite the general disgusting humidity and the absolutely cuckoo bananas thunderstorm Southwestern Ohio saw this past weekend, I’ve had some pretty good moments over the last couple of weeks.

Flying FPV to Not Be a Drone

Some people meditate, watch movies, or play video games. We all need some way to clear our heads and put smiles on our faces. For me, I have found that I cannot hold back a grin once I start flying.
