I know, I have so much crap stashed at my parents house, I'm trying to stop that old habit, it is tough to beat the ease and quickness of getting the spark up in the air.

A little bit of an update. I picked up a previously loved Mavic Pro, and I'm currently contemplating whether or not to hang onto the Spark.

Laurinburg, a couple of hours down 74 from you. Sparky has been out of commission for a week or so now. We welcomed our little one into the world last Sunday, Hope to get it airborne soon Super jealous that we dont have many points of interest down here, like you do up there, Panthers Stadium...

Our resemblance is uncanny. Kind of.....lol Having a pregnant wife so far along that barely let's you out of her sight long enough to go to work only allows for so much exploring at home, so I've just been flying around the yard this past week.

You blew that cold over my way, woke up to 35 here this morning, got out a few minutes ago and retraced my steps, I had a couple of small spills leading up to my grand finale, this was the crash that slung the filter off, I had to watch the clip, and judge where exactly it started rolling...

Well still no sparkpilots decal from me, I did however throw this together tonight, with the carolina blue to match Sparky...
