I have seen all the Flight Pass vids.
They are really good. I know everyone wants to see freestyle vids from a big event. I'd rather see the Precision stuff.

I have considered the 200 for the Godfrey but, Walt's going to be starting it soon and I dont want to wait for a motor during the build so for now it will have a 150 and Greves.

I would love to see a completely precision only database. I would also encourage anyone with old imac or toc sequence videos to convert them to digital and upload them.
