This sounds like an Epic Saga... I'd like to get the film rights... Hal

Hungry Dan attached a higher capacity LiPo battery to the back of his Hubsan H501S transmitter with Velcro. Good idea? Hal

President Coolidge never registered his quad.;) HiDesertHal

I'm new here, so what does LOS stand for? Thanks, Hal

Winning? I didn't know there was any competition! As I've stated...my kick is riding slow on thumpers. I don't even take my bikes on the highway! Being able to go 40MPH without having to pedal is miracle enough for me! Hal

"Helen" has a lovely, lyrical piano style...a bit Chopinesque. I always liked Debussy's "Claire de Lune" and Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata". Victor Borge once said that The English translation for Claire de Lune was "Clear the Saloon"! I don't read music, so I play from memory. I stay in...

You're half right! The Steam Engine is a working model, using Sterno as a fuel to heat the boiler, but the Cannon uses Acetylene Gas gas ignited by a Spark to produce the explosion. Black Powder would be too dangerous! The Cannon is partially filled with Water, and is charged when a plunger is...

Well...I'm glad to see that my thread has generated some responses! It looks like GlassKnees made all the right decisions, and I praise Spork for at least trying to get into the USMC! Hal, E-4, US 56332718, 10-1960 to 9-1962

These are some of the the toys I like to play with. All are functional except the P-51 Mustang model. I'm also into model railroading, astronomy, playing piano, and target shooting with my wife. (And occasionally Ballroom Dancing!) One must be active in his older years! Hal, age 3 X 3 X 3 X 3 3

Me too! Hal

What branch of the Military were you in? I was in the US Army from 1960 to 1962. After getting my Engineering degree in 1960, I volunteered for the Draft, which would allow me to serve for only 2 years instead of 3 if I had enlisted. Because of my age (24), I was made Platoon Leader in my...

....haven't been able to fly due to windy conditions every day. When it becomes calm, then I'll take it to that big field off Sitting Bull Road and launch it in GPS mode. (View of 10,000-foot Mount Baldy from our neighborhood at summit of Sitting Bull Road.) HiDesertHal

That's a neat simulation on MY quad, Doctor! Ideas are gettin' better all the time! Hal

How would that work for this bird, with its round, tapered arms with vent slots? What about reflective tape (or bright paint) on the underside of the forward fuselage? Hal

I'll go for identifying the forward arms instead of the props...thanks for your replies! HiDesertHal

I was advised to install lighter-colored props to the 2 forward motors on my Hubsan H501S X4 to help identify which is forward in flight. Should I spray-paint the props with Rustoleum Fluorescent Orange or just order a set of Gold props from Amazon? What about painting the forward booms...

That trumps my Red Tail Hawk! HiDesertHal

Hey Jackson...I got a complete set of 4 replacement prop blades with my Hubsan H501S. What if I spray-painted all 4 blades Gold? Then I'd have 2 Gold blades to install, and a set of 2 Gold blades and 2 Black blades in reserve. Hal

No complaints here...his video just needs to be rotated 90 degrees clockwise! Hal
