I may try to stop by... I am just starting to get into the community. Have not started on my first quad, but i might stop by to spectate and chat about all things quad

EG, it looks like at least for a little while in the morning Z-axis and I will be there. If you're close and want to stop by come on.

To actually enter this field and have somewhat of a tire track to follow, you must enter on the north side of the field, from Pinemont street. There is what looks like an old driveway ramp that leads onto the field, it is on Pinemont, directly across the street from the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

Z-axis and Nick, Back in Dallas, had fun this morning. Thanks for sharing your flying spot! I'm now wanting to try CP antennas more than ever.

If anyone is ever heading through Houston make sure to look up Z-axis and Nick there pretty cool guys.

Hey TonkaJeep, back at ya! So much fun seeing your three quads (and me crashing one :wacko: ), FPV comparison of BASE and Dominators, chasing you around in the sky, and sharing knowledge and experience. Looking forward to your next visit!

Yep it was fun, looks like I may be down again sooner than I thought. But if y'all are ever up this way give me a call.

The mini quad is fixed and a true X quad is underway to try the CC board out on.

As far as Bg Bend goes I will do my best to be there, that place is awesome.

Looks like fun, wish I could have been there but 8am is a little too early for me since I'm often up late. I probably could have made it there before noon though, so maybe next time.
