    Wow. I haven't looked at a resistor color code since I went SMD.

    Used to fly R/C aerobatics, sailplane and helicopter. Haven't renewed my AMA for like 35 years.

    Time lapses with drone tutorial (Hyper lapses)

    Ok. I found the photo settings. Get a charge on the controller and I'll try it.

    Well did you fly today post videos here

    I'm homeless, only partially employed, so I live with a retired colonel and his wife, the sergeant major. It's their pool.

    Well did you fly today post videos here

    Refilling the pool I had only 8 satellites, but the spark said it was in gps mode. It wasn't very stable and seemed to drift around while trying to shoot a 360. Then I made a rather clumsy edit using OpenShot on windows. Not very successfully. What free video editors do you guys like? I have...

    Lost contact with Spark

    I sent Sylvester Thedrone, a DJI Spark, on a voyage this morning. "I think I can still see it. Yea, there it is. No?" Lost contact with it sooner than I expected, and it dutifully returned to me at 30kmh. At one point the recorded video on the SD card broke up, but soon the SD card filled up...

    The spark doesn't seem to have all those settings. Or maybe I just haven't found them yet.

    Eggsplorer

    Mine is wearing out. The arms no longer latch down. But it still flies nicely. My favorite of the toy quads, but it hasn't had much flying since the spark came.

    Showing the neighbors.

    Was out practicing orbits when the neighbor wanted the grandkids to see, so I took their picture. He thinks it's really cool. I was almost out of battery and it took the girl a looong time to wander over. The boy is facing a major operation for a brain tumor. The neuro surgeon says he's seen...

    Has anyone ever gotten cut from the blades of your drone?

    My first quad was a tiny Estes ProtoX years ago. Sounded like a mosquito in flight. I had it hovering a bit off the floor and the dog went to investigate. He carefully sniffed closer and closer, "Careful, Shadow. It bites the nose." YIPE! Didn't draw blood or anything.

    Has anyone ever gotten cut from the blades of your drone?

    Saw my finger bone once. Was trying to saw a lath to make an airplane about age 12, and the saw hopped out of the kerf and cut my finger. Mom pushed the skin back together and wrapped it with a bandaid (sticky plaster). Was surprised to see dark gray inside my finger.
