Oh welcome to a new age my friend. You will own nothing and you will be happy. We'll need a snappy name for the New Way. Maybe... Stalinism.

I tried to like your post and the forums had to make sure I wanted to 🤣

Oh yea?
I have a semi-auto 12ga shotgun that can fit 8 round in it +the barrel which would make 9 rounds in it ready-to-go. I have a an AR-15 with a red dot visual and extended mags; of course with it goes about 2-3 boxes of ammunition. If both of those guns fail, then at least I have an M2 (working) on the back of the South Carolina State’s General’s old, decked out Willy Jeep. If that fails, then I can unbolt the M2 out of the Jeep and bolt it into the Huey and take on you guys in air-to-ground combat. If the Huey doesn’t start up, and fails, then I drop the M2 and go in the front seat of the Cobra (yes, it flies too.), put the headset on, and take you guys on air-to-ground combat still, with a close-range three-barreled 20mm Gatling gun (it was demilitarized but we got it spinning, shhhhh!). And if for some odd reason the Bell AH-1 Cobra fails, uh…uhhh, let’s hopdon’t get there.

Oh, and don’t even think about attacking me when I’m sleeping, I sleep with my knife. And if I for some reason don’t sleep with my knife then I still have a shell from a 25mm round that I can bonk you on the side of the head with.

So don’t mess with my space. Notice how I didn’t mention what the other space in my garage was used for? Well if just so happens that I have a 42in TV in front of my workbench to either watch the build videos or the cameras around the house. Also I have a whole 12•20ft space total. I also have a full two, 2•4ft racks for charging stations. Some of my space is filled with an Ender 5 3D printer, which I used to make custom parts for all my RC planes. And the rest of the 12•20ft that isn’t taken up, is filled with organized racks of planes.
So do t mess with my space.

I used to have an AK, AR15, Remington 700, a few pistols, and a few shotguns. I fortunately had them all on my boat and there was an unexpected storm. Straight to the bottom of the lake. What a shame.

You break it you buy it

None of us can afford a new one of these though🤨

I think that was the same storm that hit Lake Erie when I was out flying my Sea Duck (with protection from sea monsters of course). Nasty thing those lake storms... I was able to save the Duck as it floats - I wish I could say the same for the guns....

Alas, I too suffered a great loss to Poseidon.

I noticed that those scary ghost ones are especially heavy, probably what caused the sinking i recon. 🤷‍♂️

And that’s why I don’t fly seaplanes.

Why am I in the middle of the longest one?

It's called statistics. The longest one is where most people end up.

storms out on the lakes can be pretty scary, I've got a few books on it.

Things like this remind me why I am mostly a libertarian and the only thing the government should be managing is national defense.

One would imagine that a country that has the capacity to put a man on the moon, be the first ones to harness the power of the atom, and has the ability to be able to set up a full expeditionary airbase any place in the world in the course of a weekend could get a package from Ohio to Texas without completely crushing it. I know FT will fix it, but it truly isnt their fault in the least bit. They probably spent 4 or 5 dollars on the packaging.

Yet here we are in the year 2022 and this.

I go out of my way to use any other means of shipping because my local post office is so terrible. Twice in the last month i had to go to town to get a package they had held for "postage due" because it was sent under "media mail" or some crap. Little sticky note said, "cant be sent as media mail, it says its a catalog and catalogs have advertisements in them" 🤬😡😡

How the $%#^ do you know what's in my package? It was a vintage parts catalog, reference material. Any add in there would've been from the 1950s 🤦‍♂️ (the other time it was a paint code reference chart)

40 freakin miles to town (with $5 gas) to pay them 2 bucks to get my package. Words cannot be summoned to describe my hatred for fat government beaurocrats on a power trip.

If they do manage to deliver something half the time they dont latch my box and, thanks to good ol Wyoming wind, i have to walk half a mile if highway looking for my darn mail...

#defund usps indeed

Yeah, they suck. They have one of my packages held hostage. There is one post office here serving about a quarter million people. Which is odd, back home there is a post office every little town and probably a single post office for every 10k people.

Anyways, to pick anything up, you have to go wait in line for about a half an hour to an hour to wait to get your package, which half of the time they can't find, and you have to come back again.

Once they changed the lock on our mailbox (by mistake, wrong mailbox) and they told us it would take us a month to get our key back, and we would have to provide all of this information that we were the legal residents of the house and yada yada yada. For a mistake that was not MY fault, and I had to prove I own MY house to get MY mail. They once wouldn't give me my mail with a military ID because it didn't have my address on it, even though the name matched?

I recently purchased for the low low price of $20 a month a UPS box a mile from my house. They are open longer, no line, and UPS provides competitive shipping prices. I am just starting to ship stuff there.

Does anyone want bear hawk patrol plans? I made some a while ago but stopped enjoying the build so I stopped working on the plane. If anyone wants to beta build I will happily share them in the next week or so

Dont forget #defund ATF, #defund BLM, #defund FBI, #defund IRS, #defund FAA, #defund FCC... basically all the alphabet soup boys! The average civilian shouldn't have to think about the federal government even existing unless we are actively being attacked.
