Sounds good.  I like the fence thing, but a programmable hard deck would be very cool.  Imagine... an out of control helicopter 10 feet up, then boom.. rights itself... that's a hard deck. 

Chuck,

What do I want?   Rest.    Unfortunately, that's not happening this Christmas-work.    So, I'll settle for new underwear because with work the way it has been, I'll be pooping myself silly.

Scott

OK, Dave, so you tell it to come home, how does it know not to hit anything in its path back? Say, a truck parks in the path after it's gone by...


Na, it's not that smart (which would require a forward looking sensors like a laser scanner or radar). But you can set a minimum altitude (like 100ft), so that it's above anything it might hit on it's way back home.

Glad to hear that HH has finally figured out that you where correct the whole time.


Scott-
Oh, you mean self-leveling @ a predetermined altitude. I just have to let go of the sticks, and she'll self-right and stabilize (just not automatically). Actually, the attitude is software limited to 90°. So, no matter how long I hold the stick to far right (for example), it'll only get to 90°. There is a loop option, which I might play with this month. Some of the commercial FBL controllers have self-leveling. I know the Skookum Robotics FBL controllers have an option for self-leveling. The open source ones that I'm looking to use for my FBL controller have all those features (for much less).

Sorry to hear about the lack of rest.

Destroying phones? That's easy, drop 'em in the toilet, flush repeatedly.

This is what it looks like and it works for me. No lateral pressure on the blades and I get a good cut. I got it so squared away I can use a T-square as a fence and the cut is straight. Only thing I have to run after it while cutting LMFAO

That Eurocopter was in a James Bond movie I watched a couple of weeks ago...

I think it's time to bug Ivan again...

You guys are some sick mudding flowers(can't stop LMAOing) I read Dave's post first and thought..yes, it looks like an updated version of the rocking chair you'll find in a fetish shop, and I said hhmmm Philip you are getting to be "sick" then Chuck had to go and write that and now I am waking the neighbours at 1:45 am with peals of laughter. I am wondering if I shouldn't have put in "and it works for me" in my first line  LMFAO over and over again... HUH where is my chair

Interesting note: After HH finally admitted there was a prob w/ the Tx but they had no solution so they tried every radio they could find & sent me one that didn't have that problem. However, the one they sent has a different problem! It's always something. I think I'm beat down enough to just keep it & live with the prob which isn't that big a deal but more annoying on several levels!

I'm fully Spektrum now, for better or worse!

If you were closer, I'd invite you to spend Christmas with us.  I don't like that you're there, bored, my friend.

Happy Merry, bro!   Seriously.  You're a good friend.  I reflect a lot.

PS  On a hobby related note... I got a Spartan Vortex!!! :-)

Status: offline 		No house yet. It has been over a QUARTER OF A YEAR since I put in an offer, they cashed my check and I still have no answer as to if they accepted my offer let alone a closing date. There is no way it will get closed before the end of the year which will kill the homeowner exemption for 2013 taxes. I am bummed. With no house to work on this time off of work is just a waste for me.

On an RC note, I bought a Nano and have been flying that at work. Pretty capable machine and tough as nails. It is a lot harder to control than the mCP X and gets out of control pretty quick. I have smashed it into just about everything and have yet to do anything but crack the canopy a little. I am digging this little bird.

Scott, I am assuming the Vortex is a FBL unit from Spartan? Let us know how it works out for you. While the Spartan gyro's I have hold the tail really well, they just did not have a natural feel to them when turning.

It sounds to me like you need to take some kind of legal action (I don't know what), but you put in a good faith deposit and they are not acting in good faith.   I wonder who cashed the check?   The realtor?  I thought good faith deposits were not supposed to be cashed until the offer is accepted and that the amount of the deposit goes towards either closing or the principal.   Anyway you cut it, I would persue those ****'s until you get an answer.

The nano sounds like its good for reflexes!  Duck and cover!

Yep, the Vortex is Spartan's FBL unit.   Setup is pretty straight forward.  The unit has a lot of parameters in more advanced modes.   I really like the DataPod, it's very intuitive.  

Scott
