Years ago, when the news was of a computer problem aboard the ISS, I composed a photo of a geek squad vw pulled up to the ISS.

I gave up on headless mode. Crashed every time I tried it.

You know, as a child, I thought about hanging a camera from a kite. Wondered how to trip the shutter and advance the film.

Youch!

My first radio was a "World Engines Expert" with "Open Gimbles."

The snow cushioned the crash ;)

I've had many such flyaways over the years. From rubber powered airplanes to glo powered free flight airplanes to model rockets to R/C airplanes that I had to go flying to see from the air to quadcopters. Even frisbies go on the roof.

Well, I TRIED to join the USAF after high school, but I had trouble convincing the guy that I was older than 10. I was just short of my 18th birthday, but could easily pass for under 12, even in the most embarrassing situations.

But I don't 3.5C explains the strange behavior.

I suppose if an official sees the number they can relax and know this is somebody who knows what they're doing. Good thing I don't have a (very big) evil streak!

Yea. If I was going to put an explosive device in a drone, you wouldn't need to open the battery compartment to set it off. Besides, where on even something like a phantom would you put a bomb? This is just some bureaucrat trying to look like he is doing something constructive.

I use openscad, so I personalized wafflejock's label. His label is bigger than my build plate, and when I tried using a smaller "size" parameter, the letters moved off the block. So, instead, I put "scale([.5,.5,.5])." It's still way too big for a spark, so I think I'll stick to the label it...

I had the "Estes ProtoX" in 2014.

Labeling it inside seemed silly, so Sylvester has always had his on the outside. I always figured on taking a bigger drone to a graphics place with the number written down and saying, "Let's make this think look REALLY COOL and incorporate the number."

Fun!

I didn't post this footage last October, because it was pretty ratty. Two mistakes, first, I forgot to check exposure and greatly overexposed it, second, I reverted to a habit I set aside in like 1980 and thumbed the sticks so I was flying pretty jerky. So I edited out the jerks and adjusted...

When someone who doesn't know what they're doing does something stupid, the government(s) punish those of us who follow the rules.
