Flights like that would be impossible here, there aren't any roads that flat, straight, or deserted, not to mention they're mostly all tree lined with overhanging branches!
The newly rebuilt Discovery #2.5 had its maiden flights today and I have to say, what a sweet flyin machine it is...
First flight I took it moderately easy on it, not too low, not too high, and basically flew it from one end of the field to the other a few times to make sure all was well. Second and third flights got a little more edgy at times, flying between trees and chasing a rogue dirtbike that found its way out to the field.
I'm doing some video editing now, I'll post one or two later.

First flight after rebuild, raw video, no stabilization, the only editing was adding the PIP. This thing is smooooooth...
