    I just uploaded my new Demo Reel

    Keep Your Cool

    First was home switch indeed! Then power off controller and count to 5 (the boat had a decent amount of radar and electronics so I thought maybe I just lost signal).

    Hey Hey from Chicago

    I'm excited about this. A forum about THE WORK - not a bunch of "one-ups-manship" about the gear and what you've spent... Looking forward to spring and warm flying fingers!
