Call Cuda's lawyer immediately. You'll end up with a new Ferrari out of the deal.

Nah, this is aeronautical related so he'll be seeing something like this soon:FRUNKenstein wrote: ↑Mon Oct 15, 2018 11:14 am Call Cuda's lawyer immediately. You'll end up with a new Ferrari out of the deal.
Though that also might be related to his choice of shipping packaging for Spiff...

The bearing, she isn't so chiny any more.
Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.
Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Saw at Costco tonight they are selling a DJI Mavic Air package for $699.
Got home to look into what kind of deal that might be ($100) and found two interesting tidbits:
1) DJI is apparently has a majority stake in Hasselblad.
2) One of the Mavic 2 options comes with a Hasselblad engineered camera on it.
Item 2 might finally be my way in with the wife. The beginning of the conversation went:
Me: so you really want a Hasselblad?
Her: well I wouldn't complain if one landed in my lap.
Me: it's interesting that you put it that way...
Of course not having quite the "fuck the FAA" view point I do about drones her first question was where I would fly it (sucks being 2mi from the runway of an international airport).
This was followed by "what would you do with it" to wit I could only shrug...
