    I'll agree with you on your point, that you're: "not quite here....".

    As for general society as well as southern society having a distain for genius, uh no, not quite. It's smugness that elicits distain. Or as a northern-born son of southerners, I learned to call it: "being uppity". Because: "What goes around, comes around....".

    As for Yay "being everybody's toilet" as he said. Well, "poop happens...." (Not the four-letter word that I chose, so apparently the server has an "auto-censorship" function written into the software....).

    Oh, but on the contrary my friend. I like to keep things simplified. It's much easier to troubleshoot malfunctions that way. But then, I also find it less excruciating to not have nails driven into my skull as the chap in the photo above seems to have a penchant for....

    Yay, is like driving with a manual transmission in 1st gear. Lots of noise and commotion, but not going very far, and even doing that extremely slowly.

    You wouldn't happen to be a decendent of the Captain, navigator, or helmsman onboard the Titanic would you? This is a prime example of a need for a "two man crew" on some drones. A pilot and either a co-pilot or navigator....

    Air Force vs my Quad

    Perhaps. But there's more to flight than just photography, high speed racing, and aerial acrobatics. One modification that I'm working on is a second battery in an "external droptank". Wired in parallel with the onboard battery. For extended flight time. And I have a few other ideas up my sleeve....

    That's the nice thing about fixed wing aircraft. No "reverse gear", so you can't back into things....

    Air Force vs my Quad

    I've long had a fascination with American and British combat aircraft of World War II, and the enginuity that was applied to adapting them to various purposes and missions. I'm following up on that practice, with toy-grade quads. Seeing what the result was, when the American P-51 Mustang fighter...

    ESC's, motors, FCB's, and transmitters.

    The one that I'm looking at is the Turnigy 30A Brushed ESC. Presumably, this will make brushed motors in quads compatible with Turnigy hardware and software "upstream". Including a transmitter.

    ESC's, motors, FCB's, and transmitters.

    Everything that I've read here and have been told elsewhere, implies that toy-grade quads, bodies not withstanding, are in compatible with the hobby-grade hardware such as trandmitters, FCB's, and ESC's. Yet looking on Hobby King's website just now, I'm seeing ESC's specifically intended for...
