Christened the “Gator Quad”, this incredible quad copter is one of a kind, and built for rugged surveillance tests in the gold fields. We will be posting a YouTube on this long-endurance, ultra-stable quadcopter build in the near future. And when the infamous Yooper bugs stop their assaults on our brave team, we will shoot…
Gardens and house/vehicle maintenance have consumed our time at Copperland Munising this summer. In the back of my mind, I knew we were behind on hay gathering for winter chicken bedding.
