05-20-16 C&TSRR track a little East of Chama (Video)

[Roger Hogan]

Goal = Go West from launching point and get to the center of the track and then turn around and follow the track Eastbound and then turn the drone around and continue Eastbound in reverse. This is the best one of 3 attempts.

Bottom Line: More practice is needed.

Thanks, Roger. That's a great perspective of the valley.

At the 40 second mark you can clearly see the old grade for Biggs Spur coming off the main line east of Ed's house and heading south. This was a lumber operation that has been gone for a very long time.

I think it is a good spot to try and test different things.

Pretty cool video Roger, did putting bigger motors on your drone cut down on flying time?

No but it allows me to fly in higher wind. The drone speed is set to the slowest possible speed 20 to 25 miles a hour.

Can some make a screen grab and high lite the spur? All I see is Eds driveway!

Please don't take this as gospel, Tom. I'm only about 85.2% sure that's Biggs Spur.

[Tom Casper]

Thanks Jason, the pic is looking south so that spur goes NE. That is why I was corn fuzed! As to the spur, I am with you as it could be it.
