Re: Drones, quadcopters, and FPV flight

Re: Drones, quadcopters, and FPV flight

Re: Hey, graphically-inclined folks...we need some help.

I was just thinking about asking Cuda if he'd order a new run of 966 shirts. Just tossed one yesterday morning due to it looking a little like Swiss cheese :( Have you been bird hunting with V.P. Cheney again? You people don't believe I'm really this acidic in person. The proof is in the shirt!

Not that bad, but I did have a similar experience. I went down to the office to complain. The Post Master took me seriously, but the postal person denied it (shocking!). Then I showed the video on my phone :twisted:

Don't know if they got fired, but I never saw them again.

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com

Not a bad view out of our room. We are just here for a quick getaway, but CES2020 opens tomorrow. We don't fly out til tomorrow night, so I suppose I could go check it out. But, I am not sure that I'd know what I'm looking at since I'm not in the industry. 20200106_132751.jpg Was reading an article...
