He is going to need another Care Bear and some form of forward propulsion to even come close
(although he has got you on hang time FM).

It took me a moment to figure out what you were trying to say...

Yeah, I think he's been tempted to use the same avatar image as mine. I'd have to mod smack him though.

"It's not that I doubted you'd survive your hospital visits, I just wasn't willing to push you all over the Smithsonian and the Rhinebeck Aerodrome in your wheelchair...

I'm not in a wheelchair, but maybe I could get one of those Wal-Mart powered shopping carts.

As if I even know how to make an avatar...

[earthsciteach]

Ha ha ha ha. Laugh it up, you two. You'll see how funny it is in a few days when I'm asking you guys all kinds of stupid questions. My goal is to have a flying tricopter by next Saturday.

I wouldn't have thought this warning necessary till FM made his comment but EST the motors have to be arranged in a triangle pattern NOT in a straight line!

Thurmond

 

[earthsciteach]

WHAT???? Is this a high level geometry class or something?

 

[Tritium]

Well it's not Earth Science Teach.

Thurmond

 

[earthsciteach]

Are you implying I have rocks in my head???

 

[Tritium]

Are you implying I have rocks in my head???

Well I hadn't thought of it that way but I am told (SWMBO) I do, so why not you (I bet your wife will back up the assessment).

Thurmond

 

[earthsciteach]

My wife will certainly back up that statement. But, she just doesn't understand me the way you guys do. LOL!!!

Ouch, here you go teach...

 

[earthsciteach]

I've got your ointment right here, Monkey...

 

[Tritium]

Careful Teach you know what an excited Monkey does, Right?

[earthsciteach]

I forgot about that particular defense mechanism. LOL!!!

 

[Tritium]

Yep, learned that lesson at the then new Abilene, TX Zoo when I was about 6 years old . Not one to forget about for sure.

Women understand men. No Way. They only understand little boys.......Wait a minute..........I might have just painted myself in a corner.

[earthsciteach]

My toys are more fun than the ones I had as a little boy. Really, that is the difference.

 

[Tritium]

I ask a man I know that is in his 70's how old he felt. Well his reply concerning the body was as expected but as to his mind he said he felt little different than he did at 10 to 14 years old. I resemble that remark and your statement says you do to.

I had a few flying toys as a kid. I had a helicopter driven by a flexible shaft from a flashlight looking affair that held batteries and a motor. I also had something I thought was EXTREMELY cool at the age I was at the time. Wait a minute I still think that because for the 1960's it was quite a piece of technology. What it was was a 12" balloon mounted to a small landing gear (plastic tripod). There was also a base unit with a joystick that moved a fan. What you did is place the balloon between the control unit and a wall and the fan would make the balloon rise and was steerable too. Of course there were 10 cent Balsa Gliders at every grocery store and rubber band powered ones as well. Later in Teen years I got a kit with balloons and a bottle of prills which I later found out were nothing more than lye. You would take a coke bottle (THICK Glass and returnable at the time) mix water and the prills and then drop in small pieces of aluminum foil quickly capping the bottle with a balloon. Yep, hydrogen was generated and the balloon inflated. It was then tied off and the kit included plastic envelopes and message paper to send aloft. Great Fun but more fun to "POP" the balloons....you know what I mean.

I've added to my total this month...

I broke my quadcopter some today.

So I purchased some replacement parts. I also ordered the David designed camera mount.
