    Nonsense getting better every day: Amazon to ship stuff with drones.....

    I'm wondering if they really think that will be a cost effective method of delivery? Or if it's just another marketing gimmick to get people looking at amazon for their holiday purchases? I'm thinking the latter. Just for it to be plausible, the MRs would have to be equipped with a high-end...

    My First Major Crash

    Man. That was ugly. It did look like the RX locked the last signal. So the naza just sees that as a constant command and keeps going.

    When you roll it back to level does the stopped motor restart?

    Beer anyone?

    The impressive part was that they had it flat mounted to the bottom of the octo. It would've been more impressive if it had been full of beer.

    Beer anyone?

    Hahahaha. The keg was pretty impressive. You know it was empty, though.

    Australian Laws set to change

    Yes. It has gone way off topic. I apologize to the OP for that. As for Bankers, Oil Companies, etc, they steal from everyone. Not just the poor.

    Australian Laws set to change

    That would be 2 groups with extreme opposing values and beliefs, acting on those values and beliefs. Not cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is when a person’s actions are contrary to their held beliefs causing a level of discomfort to that individual. A pretty big stretch to apply that...

    Australian Laws set to change

    "Cognitive Dissonance"? How do you figure? There's no dissonance. The common belief is "it's not my responsibility". "I can do whatever I want." And the actions are fully inline with that belief.

    What he means is that most people here today don't have personal responsibility. It's a cultural thing. When discipline went out the window so did personal responsibility. The "It's not his fault. He had a bad childhood" defense. It's always someone else's fault.

    At the very least I'm still better looking than you.

    19 year old killed by his RC Helicopter in NY

    Yeah. A very bad experience. And you know me, Steve. I've always been a stickler for safety. It's always made me nervous when I see guys bringing their birds in close. At the speeds they are moving all it takes is a little blip and you're wearing it. Then you're riding in a Life-flight...

    Wedding photog smashes groom with Phantom

    That first one is a prime example of a moron. That last one says it was done with a camera crane. Was there an MR somewhere in there?

    19 year old killed by his RC Helicopter in NY

    Very sad. I feel for his father. The father brought him into the hobby. He must be totally devastated. 19 years old. Way too young. It's unfortunate that folks have to be reminded in this way that these craft can be extremely dangerous.

    Anyone buy a PC laptop lately?

    It's not that hard to replace the inverter. And there are step by step instructions(with pictures) in the Dell manual of how to do it. Which laptop is it?

    Anyone buy a PC laptop lately?

    @cbpagent72 Good info there. Being an IT pro myself, I agree with everything you said. MAC's are way too over-priced for what they deliver. That and you get locked into the Apple ecosystem. The Gen 4 Intel CPU's have some incredible capabilities but I still lean towards a dedicated video for...

    Interesting. If you run a heatsink with just the fins in the airflow (in line with airflow) would that work without adding too much weight?
