    Headed North a bit to check traffic conditions again:

    Then I went up into the mountains to see what was going on with the mountain top, this is actually a very difficult flight, not much room, the wind rips from West to East even though you can't seem to see it up there, should you have an issue the aircraft would drift away forever, the sun was at a bad angle, landing zone very un-even. I am lucky to be alive after this:

    I did roll over on one of the landing and scrape my blades a bit, but that is just part of the gameĀ  8)

    Nice videos Tyson :) I espesially like the last one, but I didn't recognize any of the peaks in the video. Where were you flying?

    Best described as if you were on Fielder Mtn between GP and Rogue River, if you looked North it would be the next large mountain you see. From where I was you can look right down at the football field at the Rogue River high school to the east.
