Just two of us on Sunday night, ZKIWI and ZKDWF.
Choice of DA40 meant quite a long slow flight - just over two hours.
We were able to experiment with Discord's Screen sharing option, which was extremely easy to set up and use.
Also, did some formation flying (a good idea for a future flight, maybe?)
We were also getting some good frame rates too.
