Running thru this thread and many others of like ilk, I wonder if half of the responders could even make a gold distance flight on a booming day if their batteries quit. Whats so dang hard about reading a sectional, working a manual mcready ring and spinning a whiz wheel? Geesh! Ya all got better than 40/1 ships now so quit whinning, learn to fly effeciently with your eyes looking outside and go for it.
