We haven't had the greatest weather lately, but today was nice so I flew my HolyStone out front for a little bit over lunch. Uninteresting flight and no actual quad pic as I've removed the camera since it stopped working anyway, but I was stunned by the sky, so I ran inside to grab my DSLR.

I just stumbled across this one...335 acre wildfire caused by a drone crash: http://www.thedrive.com/news/19305/drone-crash-caused-335-acre-wildfire-in-arizona Not saying he's an idiot for crashing, because we all do that, but since the news story indicates they are still trying to identify the...

LOL - I had to google that one.

That sucks. Leave it to the criminals to figure out how to use technology for nefarious purposes. Hope they caught him. I assume you mean fingerprints, Moz? Love learning new little phrases. Over on this side of the pond, dab has a completely different meaning.

Beautiful. What part of the world is that, Kent?

So much to like about that shirt lol!

LOL - My 21 year old likes to say "If you're not man enough to wear pink, what kind of man are you?"

FPV Freerider is definitely a great start. Although, as I noob, I wouldn't call the gates humongous. LOL. I mean to you guys with more experience they probably are, and definitely large compared to the gates in Liftoff. Depending on the course, I can usually hit the first one or two, but then...

Thanks, Doc. Regarding the dropping - it happens at every altitude from 2' to 16' (all indoors). The only way I've found to eliminate it (95%) is to move at least a touch faster than slowly. As soon as I slow to say less than half walking speed or try to hover, then the dropping starts. I had...

According to the manual (if it's the right one), the USB you are talking about is likely just an adapter that let's you plug it into your computer. Manual: http://www.brookstone.com/static/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-itemmaster_Brookstone/default/v1520412113132/pdfs/990455p_manual.pdf You...

Nice. That thing is a monster! I'll definitely give you a shout about it sometime.

Wow! Nice telescope collection, Hal! A couple years ago, I started getting into astro-photography, but never pulled the trigger on gear as it was too expensive for me at the time. So I only did multiple long (10-15 second image) exposures with my DSLR on a tripod. Definitely something I want to...

Nice. I never considered commuting, as my job at the time was 32 miles - one way. Funny you mention not being in the Lycra crowd, I was the same. I ended up riding the 100k in the Hotter than Hell Hundred. After that, I downsized to casual weekend riding here and there. Still get out on the...

Yeah, I'll bet. I've got a Trek hybrid and a PureFix hanging on the wall in the garage and a couple unicycles up in the attic. Mrs. Spork is considering getting a bike soon, so I may start thinking about the Surly again. I've got too much quad gear to get first, though, so may be riding my...

I hereby dub thee "Sir Torc the Sinister". Cool, who knew they had castles in Cincinnati. Also, love those Surly bikes. Have a few friends with them, and was saving up for one, but sort of drifted away from cycling before I plunked down the money.

I used to have the Trail 70 (also around 14). Loved that little thing. My brother and I went joyriding one day without dad's permission while he was at work. After he whipped our butts, he sold it - lesson learned, but motorcycle forgotten - until today.

Too funny, Moz. Scallywag - haven't heard that one in quite a while. I think it's time to bring it back into popular usage.

Also, I'm starting to think about my build again and really liking the Armattan Jalapura frame - probably in the 3" with a RunCam Split. Thanks, Rick, They are 3.7v 250mah and charge right up to 4.2 with the included charger - so guessing they standard LiPo. I thought so on the low voltage...
