I just saw on the youtube that Trent has canceled the USA Trip, after a tip stall and bad crash. For me this can show and teach many things who are out there and see this as a simple job to do. When people see a UAS flying, they think they can start a business easily out of it or start flying like a pro.
When you start flying constantly and frequently, problems start to appear and this is a great example. For me it was a big attempt and a good lecture. I appreciate Trent for his afford and his attempt. I encourage him to start a blog post about the problems he had and lectures he had taken. Good job Trent.

My thoughts exactly Craig, turn it into bite size chunks and keep moving. We are all cheering for you Trent, if you have to can it then do and return better prepared. There is foam and tape right across America I should imagine. Darkest before the dawn.
Awesome effort Trent and team!
Rebuild, re work and return!
I'm serious when I say focus on the lessons learned and the experience gained. There will always be setbacks in everything you endeavor to do. It would be easy to feel bad about not making your original goal, but pay attention to everything you've learned in this attempt. I know all too well what a crash feels like, but when the sting starts to fade, there is a ton there to be learned if you look for it. You've just stepped up a level or two above everyone else who has never tried to do anything like this. More than luck or sense (my grandma always said I had more luck than sense) I think success comes to those that just stick it out no matter what and keep working at it.
A long country RC flight is something I've dreamed of doing since I was a kid, so I was really interested to see how things worked out for you guys.
Good luck, take a breather, and then keep pushing forward!
Trent...
If you come by Albuquerque NM (not too far from holbrock Az) I will give you an X8 wing and some other stuff I'm not using. My ranch also has 160 acres of flying with no big cities near. I'm 68 yo now and I need to get rid of a lot of this stuff.

I'm going to keep watching, Trent. I am looking forward to a trip summary and lessons learned kind of show. I am sure we can all learn valuable tips from your recent experience. And most important, keep thinking big!
