Flew it in the living room with no issues so I should be good to go. Seems really easy to fly. Doesn't have many of the Mini2 features but it should be good enough for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Kivvie who posted his " BIG ADVENTURE ". He OFFERED the 500 Ton Mate's License, and posted pics. He posted all the pics and info, so where is it ignorant to get a ballpark figure on what a 257 day stint on an oil barge, on the BERING SEA, would compensate him. I don't know if he has a Bachelor's Degree, and /or Master's, but me personally, if I was in my late 30s/40s, I don't think I would do that for less than 175 -250 K. The hard work, danger, isolation from family, has to be compensated for. The fact that they hired him from Auburn NY to Alaska, indicates he must have some certifications, licenses, resume, etc, that are somewhat critical. Federal/International regulations regarding transportation of oil product, probably carries murderous penalty for spills/violations. Remember EXXON VALDEZ!!!!
