Here's the layout I built in my train shop long ago. http://outsidetrains.com/facillity/facillity07.html The train shop and the software development were supposed to supplement each other, but I hit a streak where I couldn't find a project, nor sell a train for nothing. My letters have changed...

I'm a long-a-go R/C airplane flier, and was very used to flying the airplane any direction it pointed. But now I find I'm USUALLY disoriented. Whether I'm flying or not.

"Correction. The height on my DJI Go app is displayed in feet, not meters." But whose feet? I wear a size 5.

I try to fly daily, except in Oklahoma, we can get weeks of the same weather at a time. WIND! RAIN! SUN! HOT! Been flying almost every day recently. Too bad this silly Sky Viper somebody got me doesn't record video in flight.

Boy. I thought I could get focused on a task! Take a break from the train work a couple times a day and fly your quad, silly.

Or was that 221 meters? Oh, drat.

I've wondered about powering one with a glow-motor.

Not mine.

I have two of those little meters and one better one. Very handy.

Funny how the wind speed is directly related to the charge in my batteries.

I grew up in Northern Illinois, and winters can be pretty cold and snowy there, though nothing like Minnesota or Michigan. Dad once gave me the speech: "Why, when I was your age, I walked 3 miles to school barefoot. (He didn't impress me yet.) I had to cross the river 3 times on my way too and...

My situation is not exactly "Normal." I live with a retired colonel and his wife, the sergeant major. They have 2 rescue dogs and 2 cats. The dogs are Shadow, a husky, and Eclipse, a very young Labrador. You can guess Eclipse's color. The cats are named for Marine Generals, Chesty and Mad Dog...

Warm, sunny and calm today. I still haven't managed ti shoot a video, but I have found that it handles quite nicely if you turn off altitude hold and just fly it.

Oh, yes. The camera points down at a fixed 45 degrees and can't be adjusted.

I don't know where this little FPV quad came from, it was just here. It has altitude hold, so I thought it might be fun to fly. Unfortunately, we usually have a blasting wind around here these days. It's pretty fast, perhaps intended for racing, so it handles wind pretty well. The altitude...

Manager sent me on break so I went out and played with my eggsplorer for a while. This little thing is pretty fun. Took off once, and the controls seemed to be backwards. "Am I facing the same direction? Yes...." Then, a car came, so I went to bring it closer to me out of the car's way, but went...

Barefoot, of course.

Don't forget to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow.

I was worried they were taking out too little, but I wound up owing the fed $7 and the state $12. Came out about right.

Every time I've tried headless mode, I've crashed into something.
