    Sensors!?!?... I hope there ain't no sensors here! I try to just quietly slip in and slip back out (while sneakin' Sally through the alley) :p As for the censors here, I tiptoe around them too. ;) Gimme a ring re: the phone/printer, we can more easily walk thru it telephonically :D BTW, I...

    Toy? Ahem... you mean 'tool' don't ya? :laugh: I haven't decided yet if/when I'll post vids. To do that, I'd have to make a youtube account... and to do that, I'd have to step out of my 'protective shell of anonymity'. Maybe I'll get a 'dummy' gmail acct. and sign up with that. The good news...

    G'mornin good Folks, been out of town (@ Mom's) since Tue... she doesn't have wifi, so I'm kinda out of the loop while there. Thanks Dave, that's tempting. But I think I should go with your first recommendation though, a DJI P3 Standard. The P3 Advanced is tempting too, but I can't find a...

    Yeah, most kits I've ever seen are overpriced, and often have sub-par 'accessories' - DSLR kits, computer/monitor/printer kits, etc. 'Long' range would be a mile+ but... see below :) Half-mile range would be fine for me ATM... and I like the idea of starting on the 'Phantom platform'. I'm a...

    Brilliant!... mini solenoids and stepper motors are cheap enough these days... where's my soldering iron? :p Might?... might? To paraphrase the all-knowing Yoda: Do or do not, there is no 'might' :laugh:

    I bought one of those little palm-sized quads off Amazon a few months ago, and I think I may have solved a couple problems I had with it, for zero cost - battery life and camera quality. Two 18650s salvaged from a laptop battery pack, and a Graflex 23 I've had for ~35 years: I still need to...

    Farmland and crop analysis is the end goal (by next year maybe), but I'm not ready to 'swim in the deep end' yet... ready to start learning the basics now though - with as small an investment as possible, of course. :) From what I've found so far, the <150 ones are mostly close-range toys that...

    Quadcopter shopping makes my head hurt. So many features, so many decisions, so many prices ranges... Been on the computer and going at it hard since before daylight this morning... and no closer to making a choice. Gonna take a blank sheet of printer paper and a sharp Ticonderoga #2 and make...

    Dave, looks like ya got the new bird trimmed out pretty well now. :thumbs: Just curious... is the camera fixed, or does it rotate upwards as the forward pitch increases with speed?

    I'll see if I can dig up a pic of a 10/22 stock blank I sanded down years ago. Amen! Mike and Janet, I'm so glad little Huxley is better and hope he recovers quickly! Thanks for the pictures, he's precious!

    Bah!... I'd say: Just curious... Can you get 'first-person' goggles for something a little more 'tame' and manageable - like a Phantom?
