Colorado B.S. Thread

Almost got this shit back together! I broke down and bought the Slee bracket and am glad I did. The compressor is a great fit in that spot, plus I was able to use the bracket where it mounts to the fender to make a little shelf for my winch solenoid.



Aaaaand plumbed my air to the front bumper

 

For general discussion:

Obviously you aren't to leave trail, but what should you do in the event that the trail is severely flooded, rutted, mudded? First option is to not to run that trail, but if one finds themselves mid trail and comes upon a situation where the trail is in rough condition, then what? Turn back? Just curious to hear what others have to say

 

Looking good!

 

Never go off or create an alternate trail .
Turn around, it's not life or death to run it in it's entirety.

 

Not all trails are loops. Most are in and out again.

 

yessss lookin good in there

 

Congratulations Charlie. Glad to hear all are well minus some sleep...

 

congratulations papa Charlie!

Do you know who the mother is?

 

If I were buying a new one I'd look hard at the mavic.
Should be able to pick up a phantom 3pro for less than 1k. Pretty happy with mine.

 

Your post is making me all nostalgic. My daughter just turned 2 today and was the same length and only an oz heavier than yours. They were even born near the same time of day. So many similarities. I hope your little girl brings you as much joy as mine has brought me.

 

I think the one that was with us was a mavic. They were talking about a cheaper one but might not have follow me mode.

One more thing to research now!

 

phantom 3 will follow

 

Did they actually have it in stock? It seems anything I inquire about at slee is out of stock.

 

Yeah they did. I was kind of surprised too when I called them.

 

Anything in particular to look out for in a used drone other than it being duct taped back together?

One HUGE necessity is small size. I think the DJI Mavic Pro is what he was using, and it just popped up on the lists of best drones. One major thing I liked was it was tiny. I wont have much room for some other beastly ones I've seen before.

 

buy it new?

or if you don't need the range of the pro...

just saw your comment about the size... might want to just pony up for the Mavic.
Buy once cry once. Unless you crash it then you can cry some more.

 

Haha yeah, just watched a size comparison... not much comparison. Colors look better with the Phantom 3 but the size....

And in the question area..

Does this have the capacity to lift an infant?
Answer:
I've tested it's ability to do this twice. The first time was with my one day-old son, and it performed perfectly until the battery in the unit died over Lake Superior. Second time was with the replacement drone, and my 5 year old. (He's all I have left). It will not lift a 5 year old, sadly....

 

Congrats to your new family, hope all are doing well!

 

They had one left when I called. Got lucky!
