Honorably discharged Vet, USN E5 GMG 75-79. College educated. Over 30 yrs as a Racing Engine Machinist, currently still working at a facility restoring MB 300 SL Gullwings and Roadsters. Just finished a complete refurb of an Alfa Romeo GTA engine, and am starting the process on an Aston Martin DB5 engine. Attended a Vocational high school, studied Mechanical Drafting. My strengths are Abstract Reasoning & Logic, as well as the ability of being able to think outside the box.
About to get back into serious 4X4 wheeling after nearly 10 yrs of inactivity. Got the Drone concept in mind to use as means to determine if narrow trails I used to get through are still passable. Many times I've ventured into situations that would not allow turning around to escape an obstacle. Not something an old guy with some mobility issues wants to face. Point of fact, ... I could have been a victim of carjacking or robbery on at least 3 occasions. Escaped using quick and aggressive maneuvering. Only a fool goes out in the Sonoran Desert if they are not properly armed.
Awaiting delivery of a recent purchase of a preowned Mavic 2 Zoom with regular and a Smart Controller. While I do know a local drone flyer, his unit is several generations older. He has a local business of capturing and editing video content. Here is a sample of his drone work and editing ability;

Sure would appreciate any input from the broader community to help me get the most bang for my $$$ !!!
Thanks In Advance !
