Do golf balls hang from trees?

After flying the spark for a while, I found Humpty Dumpty a bit of a handful.

I hope it's because we're all out flying and having fun.

Only if they were the Kleveland Indians.

Bummer about the video.

Fewer explorers get speared this way.

"Coweta Southern Railroad." Coweta is the nearby town. It's named for the Koweta Indians who were moved here.

Of course, I was barefoot in January:

Alaska? January? This is Oklahoma and August. Been barefoot most of my life. Whenever I can get away with it. I did wear shoes a few days ago to weed whack the poison ivey patch. I grew up in Northern Illinois and usually carried my shoes to school.

I seem to have had the video off when I wanted it on and on when I wanted it off, so the best video I got in Sunday Evening's session is the calibration dance. I was having a little trouble with the iPhone. It kept disconnecting. I was using a new "Lightning Cable" for the OTG. Maybe I should...

I got the spark to shoot one. Every free, or even trialware video editor I've tried to use to assemble these has barfed. OpenShot, Filmoa, "Video Editor." I have, in living memory, assembled videos from jpgs before. I've even split videos into jpgs, had a C# program load and alter them, then...

Hand soldering the red board would not work as most of the board is heat sink for the motor driver. Using my magnifying visor, I carefully apply "Chip Quick" rework solder paste to the pads using a toothpick. Then I stick the parts in place. 0603 parts are easy enough to do this way but 0402...

Oh. And I have to put the 47uF cap back in.

I usually use an electric skillet to solder smd parts. Haven't tried a BGA yet, nor have I succeeded in using one of those LCC things.

Unless, of course, you're being chased by a rhino. A rhino doesn't see very well. He can make out objects about 20 ft away. He can also run 35MPH. A group of rhinos is quite logically called a "crash" of rhinos.

Hmm. the image vanished...

My assistant here is a poor mouser.

So, you might understand: Semper fidelis geriactricus flatus

On the one that flew away, the prop guards were so floppy that if you did bump something, the guard tangled up in the prop.

I, too, am a long-ago R/C flier.
