Carrollton, TX 5K Run

I heard about this just hours before the race, so I charged the batteries, double checked my Phantom and headed out. I hope you enjoy.
One more thing, can someone teach me how to post a video on Phantom Pilots? This seems to be the best I can do.

Thank you, Poostik. I messed around with this for about an hour and finally gave up.

Once you post it to you tube, they give you the URL link. All you have to do is copy that link and paste it into the PP thread. Maybe you're trying to make it too hard?

I don't know if I'm trying to make it too hard or not. What I do is click the youtube button and then copy & paste the url in the center of the youtube that pops up. I was never able to get it embed-ed until poostik showed me what was going on. I did some googles on the problem I was having and it appears that there are several others having the same problem.
At least now I know how. I know what you mean, sometimes the simplest tasks can be the most difficult.

You want all of this:

The ampersand (&) and everything after that is extra code to "show related" or whatever it's for and it will not embed properly if included in the youtube tag. So, just use what I put above as the example. All the stuff after the v= and before the & is the actual youtube code for whatever video you're trying to link for. What I put up there is a "clean" youtube link.

I sure appreciate your patience. I hope you can see that I have good intentions. Sometimes it's a little difficult for us older guys to understand this stuff. I'm going to have to post some videos to practice.
Thanks again for your help.
