You are a sacrilegious limey indeed and you do have a sense of humor. Us mere mortals just can not figure what sense it is.....:D

How about regaling us with a flying story, so we can stay on quadcopters for just a moment.

Hey, don't don't get yay started. ffs
He speaks in tongues, my head hurts.
But is is funny. I think. ;)
 
Well you learn something new everyday.
I've just been buying rhcp cloverleaf antennas & just chucking em on.
Little did I know there is a specific frequency they work on.
The red aomway rhcp work best on
5725-5875ghz. Since I don't fly more than one quad at a time all my vtx are on A1.
That's why my range wasn't very good.
Just chucking that in there.

saw an interesting ufo.. right over the city. seen other things right over the city. this one was interesting because the moment i saw it, i had this impulse to look away. then i said, hey! and looked back. and there it was, heading right along. this other one, i was at lunch on work. right over head, wow. i looked around at everyone else, and they were *all* looking at their cellphones. and i looked at them and i thought...... *sigh*

of course, this was 2006 and, since i did not own a cellphone, didn't think to get someone to take a picture. and i totally know, it's not even worth telling this because it sounds so conveniently undocumented. so if anything, it means, if you want to notice things, you really have to own your attention.

it's probably better i don't talk about quads at this point :D
 
okay let's talk about drones!

so i've been waiting since last w/e to fly this thing, because of all the angst i went through setting it up.

i am telling you, about evil. i am telling you. you do not need to understand it, but i am telling you. evil.

there is something intrinsically wrong with the stock design. it's a minor thing, but significant until you devise a custom solution. the Rx is wedged in under the battery... which must have been a good idea with whatever Rx they designed it with, but the one they shipped mine with, it presses the bind button. so you either have to move the board or raise the battery, which is going ot take some manufacture to get something appropriate. manufacture i haven't felt like doing yet.

anyway. i've mentioned this bit before. we're bound.. motors are responding to Tx.. place outside, on flat surface, gentle throttle, just a bit, just a bit, then of course we are UP and going uPPER really fast.

i look up. instantly blinded by arizona sunlight. i cannot see a fk.

bring her down. better than far away. upside down on roof. throttle, skids off roof, into fence, bricks, leaf debris, keeps grinding, shut off arm switch.

whew! props aren't bent up and only minor chips. my spares are *still* not here.

hey, my vTx antenna is missing!

let's go back to not talking about quads. because, i am telling you, evil.

understand, i have got somethnig in my eye. the SAME i i always have somethnig in. it could be a cat hair, could be a fly. if a week goes by without somethin gin the SAME eye then it has been a rare week. but right now, this cat hair is dissolving, and will be for 24 hours, and my eye keeps getting coating of pus on it, so everything is blurry when the pus collects enough to float around. of course when i wipe it off the cat hair is *never* in that ball of pus.
 
Speaking of noticing stuff. I'm not really a believer in this Mandela effect thing.
But I know for sure that St pauli girl who smiles at Jaws had braces. Because I had them as well. There was a visa card advert with the actor Jaws & a girl behind the counter smiled back with braces on. Well moonraker was on the other week. She ain't got braces. Wtf
 
i think you're responsible for this one, moz. maybe not but anyway. die. die die die.

you guys suck so much peckerwood. you know what? mode 1 is not the reverse of mode 2, mode 1 only reverses tthe vertical stick functions. there goes my $100. this summer my mother's car broke on 119 degrees farenheit day and my heat pump $3k went out. and the horneton the ey is an example of week to week.

you think i can deal with crud information? that was the $100 of the summer i had to spend, and its flown the f away. and to boot i am going to spend the next couple horus wandering around in *really avoidable temperatures* looking for it. god you suck. and i am out of smoke.

that's tavistock. all of the new age the hippy counterculture movement that's all tavistock. keeping people "out of trouble" from doing anything effective by filling their lives with garbage. yeah go watch the telly.
 
dear god..

basically my life is about going round saying "dear god" at 90 second intervals..

found it! :D

stopped to take some cholla out of my toes and bleed on the carpet a bit, but here i am -

yes, you are seeing things correctly. didn't have my camera when i found it so this is not the spot -

in the time between skydrop and retrieval, a little bird stopped and took a crap on my kingkong!

:) it's lucky. the birds around here, the drinks are on me. i will keep this crap as it is a lucky turd.

yep, when that thing went so far away, i tried the last desparate yaw-and-forward.. nope wrong direction.. shut the throttle and arm down, and started sprinting into the desert in case someone was watching and tried ot beat me to it. i have to think of things like that, why? because, read my life. i say it here every day, this is what i have to deal with. unbelievable, moment to moment.

incredible.

props aren't too knocked up. battery on, will find out if the motors are cooked et c.

about 200m out.

you see, this is the thing. before you have good stick control, anything you do in terms of banking and yaw also affect altitude. so if your controls are all screwed up and you're like, "is this yaw??" every mistake is going to cost you, because with something like this, a second throttle is scores of feet altitude gain.

anyway. i have to take some bigger thing out of my foot right now. there you are, real as it gets.
 
there are parks, verdant areas here, of course - there's one about a mile from here.

but if you look at it on google maps, you'll observe that half the houses around the park are marked as churches... in the u.s., property declared church = tax free. they mormons own that neighborhood, and if i go and play in their little park they'll be out on me. they own a lot of arizona.. next park over, lakeside... last time i was there, there's like six people, dude assaulted me, in front of his wife and 2 year old son. guess he wanted something i was carrying. his son will remember that, and be a different person because of it.
 
soz for the forum sprawl for what i am absolutely assured is the most amusing newbie diary ever. i need to build something to keep the Rx off the battery, but my eye is so full of crud now it is gonig ot have to be another day. it's jsut frustrating trying to deal with anything when one of your eyes has a big piece of crud in it that just shouldn't even be there. i go year after year, all this crap, goes in to the same eye, not the other one. you remember "the witches of eastwick" with cher where this dude keeps pulling stuff out of his mouth like feathers n stuff. but you don't know, or if you do, you don't talk. i'm the only one that knows and talks. but it doesn't matter because nobody knows. years. years i say. years.

Tavistock is in Devon. No hippies, just ice cream & farmers.
