[RCSE] was Cell Phones now DS

Interesting how you guys on that side of the world DS while on the front 
side or bottom of the hill instead of the top. Years ago, I stood down there 
while a plane was in the 175+ (mph) range. Terrifying! This is the area of 
most exposure should something go wrong. Looking back on it, I would never 
stand down there again with a plane at speed.

But looking and Jo's video, I can also tell that the Opus is not wound up 
much at all. I've seen them go much faster than that, so I know it is no 
where near it's structural limit. And I also know that Jo's skill level can 
easily handle a plane at that speed so the chances of a crash are pretty 
small. I would guess that the layout of the hill limits you to DSing there 
instead of the top?

I cant talk about the EVO synth or the synth Rx they sell. But I have 
345hours of flying on my EVO 9 crystal version and talk on the phone all 
the time.
I even fly light DS while talking on the phone:

And since we are talking about flying / driving I even fly and operate the 
camera with the left hand....
