    Drone rules UK, do you need a permit? (video)

    Across the pond, we have no rules for NOT flying one and plenty of rules FOR flying one. Stay in the UK! Also the guy in the video is speaking English, right? Us Yankee Rednecks just can't understand that kind of English. Ya'll come back,Y'here!

    Low battery alert

    I imagine it could be done. The issue would be to keep the motors running while trying to fire up the last one. Once going you'd need to refill the fuel tanks. Then you'd still need a battery for the electronics. I saw one design on YouTube that used a small 2 cycle gas engine with variable...

    Low battery alert

    Too bad quads run on electricity. I was designing a water powered quad. The problem was getting a 50 gallon water tank to stay on top of the quad. I finally figured that out. The other problem was getting the quad to lift it. If I figure that out, I'll let everyone know!

    Low battery alert

    Ah, seeing those LEDs is the challenge. If you're at altitude, say 400 feet (to remain legal) seeing those LEDs blinking is a feat for Superman, especially in daytime. How many, though, fly their quads after dark consumes the sky?

    Low battery alert

    Duh? This reminded me about a friend that jumped out of airplanes without a parachute. Of course, the planes were usually on the ground. Then one day, he was in a plane at 5,000 feet and was skydiving. He made that fatal mistake of jumping out of the plane without a parachute. Needless to say...

    Testing a bad idea does not necessarily lead to a good outcome. But then if you jump off of one bridge and not die, does that mean jumping off the same bridge won't kill you? That depends on what's waiting for you the second time...

    One Way to Avoid Disorientation

    Another good way of limiting disorientation is to not drink that case of beer before you fly...

    Hope Woody doesn't have an AR-15 with a bump stock. See, what would have happened if Woody WAS home and feeling off the maid in the kitchen? I heard the bump stock makes the AR-15 really fast!

    Sort of a "Turf then Surf" moment. Zoom and Yhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, Crunch then Splat. A real thorough ouch!

    Not wondering about Singapore, but isn't it dangerous driving there? Also, to drive fast on a road I'm sure had all sorts of warning signs, is dangerous if you can't read them. Since the guy survive, he's got a story to tell his friends when he returns home.

    Where the vehicle was situated seemed to indicate that he literally drove down side of the cliff. A puzzling aspect though is what became of the doors? They fly off on impact? The whole vehicle seemed m,ore of a frame before the body panels are attached. Or, was this a stunt gone wrong?

    A Common Problem with Aerial Photography

    How can one Photoshop something like the ISS? The support wires would really need to be big and hard to erase out of the picture.

    A Common Problem with Aerial Photography

    Not everyone can claim that they did not have a doofus moment, not even a highly trained astronaut. I guess a selfie would be out of the question; he left his iPhone in his other spacesuit. He can survive in the space station with all of its sophisticated technology, but can't figure out his...

    The Pasadena City Hall - Check!

    I looked at some of the building of EMP generators on YouTube. All very complex and dangerous to the untrained electronic's buff.
