You need to drag that Mach 1 out of storage if you want something to keep you busy!
A lot of guys in the flight club race FPV quads. There is literally a race somewhere in the area every weekend. A track is cut into the airfield just for them to practice.
The FAA is also trying to legislate them (actually anything that flies remote control) out of existence. The burning hoops of bureaucracy the club board has to jump through just to keep the airfield by Grapevine Lake is astounding. (permits are required from the city, police, fire dept., FAA, DFW airport and Army Corp of Engineers)

I really intended to get the Mach cleaned up and do a few small local cars shows back in the Spring. Then ended up doing volunteer stuff for the city police dept, among other things. And blinked and it is now September - almost October. ugh
