    Get on Landertalk - it is a listserv, they always have rentals listed http://landertalk.com/mailman/listinfo/landertalk_landertalk.com
    Friend/follow/whatever "10 Trades" and "Fremont County WY Rentals" and "Fremont Area- Home Rentals/Lease" and "Riverton & Lander WY Area Classifieds" on Facebook

    If you're desperate you could rent the place where we're currently living - fingers crossed, we're close to closing on the house and SHOULD be out the first week in April. It's a 3BR house, not the nicest place, but cheap... Same guy is renting trailers on the lots behind the house.

    I'll arrive May 14th and start work on the 15th. Sleeping out of the truck won't be a big deal. Pretty darn cozy, and I am guessing there is a gym there I can get a membership to for a shower. If I can find a place ahead of time that would help though!

    No worries! You guys have enough on your plate haha.

    Will do! Thanks!

    You can camp in the city park for free, up to 3 days I think. Not sure how long you have to be gone in order to reset your day count and get another 3 free days. Except 4th of July and the Eclipse, then they're charging big bucks. There are a couple state park campgrounds up Sinks Canyon as well.

    Elemental Performance is one gym - https://lmntl.net/ I don't know what their membership rates are. There is a Crossfit gym as well, http://www.crossfitlander.com/ There is also Lander Pool http://www.landerschools.org/landerpool/

    Depending on how bad this.."Damage" is anyways.

    Even if it was bad id offer cash and take it for the manual.

    Really can't imagine it's terrible if it was slid into a curb, I've taken curb hits dead on and from the side at considerable speed in the Taco. could be something stupid like a bent tierod or rack.

    It's alive. Just need to mount the GoPro up front and it's shred time! Tough build getting it troubleshot and all wired right. But stooooked! So loud, turn up the volume!

    sucker looks small!

    i thought i saw it had a camera on the nose already? or is that just the FPV camera?

    Adding a gimbal too i hope for the gopro? Or Contour..is that what you'll use.

    It's tiny. I wanted something easy to bring and that could get unique shots like only FPV can. I'll be using a session 5 mounted in front of the battery above the fpv camera. It's not a cinimatic footage kind of drone. But I wanted a challenge and I was intrigued by the fpv miniquad idea. We will see, essentially I'll be able to surf the landscape which is what excites me. I get bored flying phantoms...

    Yea it'll be fun to fly around in FPV. Im guess won't be very handy for cinematic type stuff really..but still be a hoot!

    Phantoms are boring because they are made for cinema photography stuff, slow and smooth is what all video people want. haha although the Phantom 4 will go 45mph i know :anonymous:

    I'm pretty much just going for different. Also there are some areas near lander in the mountains that the new dji firmware and updates wont let you fly. It's like DJI has started implementing geofences based on govt request or whatever. For instance you can't fly up past 3/4 the way up table mtn which is near town with a phantom 4 but phantom 3's still do it.

    Yep. Part of the FAS new regs on drones. Does suck. Sure there are hacks for it though.
