Have fun, Bob. Have had Phantom 4 since it came out. Recommend Autopilot software on an Apple computer or tablet (I have Apple Air 2 tablet with AT&T). You can plot routes.

Subject: <VV> End of an Era

Hi everyone,

It's the end of an era - two actually!

I've been doing mechanical work on old cars, boats, motorcycles and anything
that moves (or usually doesn't!) for 50 years plus. The 68 UltraVan was sold
2 months ago, a month later the boat went and today my much loved, fully
restored 66 Corvair has been sold.

So it's the end of an era of fixing "old stuff" and it will be the first
time for close to 50 years that I don't have a Corvair.

 

I'm keeping the tools and will continue tinkering but the days of swapping
engines in a parking lot or replacing a wheel bearing on the side of road
are gone. No regrets and all part of the fun at the time.

 

Even as recently as a year ago this would have seemed impossible but at this
age and stage it simply feels "right". It's time to move on and do other
things - like going camping and playing with my shiny new DJI Phantom 4
drone!

Regards,

Bob
