Hi tes ... Talk about one extreme to another, my lumbering great quad and your angry bee !!! Awsome vid and love the stills. Is that a prison on the left of image 2 ??? If so i would be very careful flying to close to it !!!

It';s a high security young offenders institute, and yes, I do keep well away from it. I really wouldn';t want to crash behind the walls - might take some doing getting it back after that.

Here';s the last couple of flights from today, both from the field next to the mental institute for a change so you';ll get to see it in more detail;
