Love trains!

Breath taking (when I saw how close you were to the trees at the end). My first drone is still stuck up in a 95' Lombardi Poplar

Why only 360p?

Why only 360p?

Issues with YouTube
I uploaded the Pecos River High Bridge vid in 4K with no issues the day before.
All resolutions were available about 30 minutes after I hit publish.
Not the case with this one.
Going on 19 hours now

Bummer! Sounds like a YT glitch that more time won't fix. Seen variations of that before myself. If it were me, I would just upload it again, and delete the 360p one, and edit the original post above, to replace the first YT URL with the new good one, once it appears on YT in 1080p and above. Just add another post to this thread so we all get notified.

Love how many people are standing along the tracks, taking photos. What a classic old machine!

Excellent!
Did YT finally complete the 4K version, or did you need to replace it?
Windy day, with some treacherous sideways flying over trees and light poles at the end!
A friend ran his M2Z into a hidden power line flying low alongside the Big Boy when it was in S. CA! Fortunately, only props were damaged!

YT finally resolved the issue.
Glad too because I already published the links everywhere.
You want to see wind?

I was supposed to be next to the train all the way to the bridge.
But strong headwinds kept me from achieving my goal of being right there at the bridge.
Further research shows I could only get up to 17 mph in Sport Mode.
Meaning the winds were 23mph taking max sport speed minus actual.
Sometimes I was only moving at 10 mph

Awesome! I'd love to see the Big Boy in person someday.
