love the drone views
It easily skims just over the water or soars 400 feet in the air. And I launch and land in my hand so I don't need an open area.
crystal cleat sphere, very nice
The crystals in the quartz seam did not show up until I began grinding and the vug opened up. The rest still polished up nice.
Nice rock choice!
I hope it is clear that size is critical in choosing rocks to keep. The micrometer is set to find 45mm rocks, to make 43mm pre-spheres at the saw, to make 40mm polished spheres on the sphere machine.
