Hey that's kinda cool I didnt know you were from around here (or were you just visiting Texas?) Anyways, thx for the heads up on the Slo-V having better range (though with my experience so far, its always easier for the SkyFly to gain altitude hence my ramblings about its "good" radio ) I'll have to work harder (read: hope to god its not crazy windy) and try to get my Slo-V to climb higher. BTW what is PKZ's specified range on the Slo-V's radio system? If it's *practically* any better than the SkyFly's, I should just be able to "speck" out if I wanted to do such a thing, still under radio range. Now that I think about it, from my perspective when I was high-flying my SkyFly, it _did_ become a very small slightly-pointy-dot in the sky and I did manage to lose it for a few seconds whenever I looked away. So maybe I have flown well over 300ft, perhaps 500-600ft? If only I could afford some kind of an onboard altimeter. [8D]
