One down, two to go haha.
Been waiting for a chance to get this one in the air, and unfortunately I have been waiting so long that I forgot the battery had it laterally out of balance- so when it took off, it immediately started to roll, and there was no saving it. Didn't get 6 feet in the air before it made its fateful plunge lol. It'll fly again though

The Park inn is booked solid :-(.. Looking for another alternative. The Crown Plaza is $129 a night and only 0.3 miles away a 6 minute walk.
What else is close.. walking distance |

I will take a look. We don't mind driving since we will be in the convention center all day. How far is ETOC from the Weak Signal Toledo show ? |
