Good thing it was a P4. I'd guess a hit like that would have caused some damage on a P3. Is that you in the blue shirt?

Yip blue shirt Grey hair , bit windy to go out so I normally push t tennis ball around ,good for practicing control,probly was good he hit the cam anywhere else might have been all over,last time was a stick but avoided that,I guess NO means yes to 4year olds

I too need some luck! As you know sometimes I use my drones as a leaf or snow blower and now I have one more thing to do (inspired from you), next time I’ll play with balloons .

Choice idea,kids had those bunch ballons (water ones)out today,that gave me idea to fill big Ballon with water,was about halve a litre of water,I should have had one each side,got up sweet but it was reVing one side working hard,only went up 15ft and swung it off a modified paper clip,took 2 swings to make release but was cool,kids loved it,so did i

Nice to hear that! It seems that it was a hard hit! One hint for you, he could be hiding behind that car [emoji16] don’t skip that spot [emoji1303]
