Flying from inside house or car anyone?

Hi there,
after long time I made some upgrade in cables for the house antenna and added a lightning arrestor. I will soon also post the upgraded car/van setup. I use antennas the can be folded down and the magnet mounts. On the car top is a water tight slim box that holds the cables for antenna and the pan tilt unit.

What best way to test the magnetics in steady 20mph/25mph gusts [emoji100]

Flawless and what a machine [emoji1305]

an update... Here the pictures of the conference room and the 75" TV as main screen. The cinema sofa is comfortable to sit and relax while flying. The RF-lind amps get me where I want to. 5km no problem. If I want more or more penetration I take the directional antennas. Also a picture of the decent(yet not painted) car roof box that hides the antenna cables and provides connections for the pan-tilt antenna rotor as well as for extra lights.
Here we go...

What does the van look like with all the antenna set up? James Bond?

Cut the risers on an angle to help compensate the curve of the roof. Now ordering even MORE cables... (needs bigger box)
