Thank you for your kind words yesterday. I successfully stood out on the pasture and also found a lot of cows. Fortunately I did not have to buy the pasture, nor a cow and much less had to get married.
Look for yourself.[^]
Putting together this video was a lot of work. So please, if you look at it then leave a comment or raise a shitstorm or whatever. Make it worth the time.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"No, from Canada."

Sweet! What is the maximum payload of that thing?
I'm thinking of a CO2-powered, Gatling-action BB gun attachment for herding purposes...

I really have to guess because I usually fly as light as I can, but perhaps up to three pounds. The next bigger size, a T-Rex 600 has stronger motors, but also needs a second battery (another pound).

I have found something for you. Look what two 700 class copters[^] can lift.
Edit: This one is even better.[^]
Someone wants to sell some more Gaui 700s

Sweet!  That thing's pretty damn quick as well.
I was sure you were about to buzz the learner driver...
Next time, perhaps replace the white noise from the rotors with Ride of the Valkyries? 
Or perhaps Ode To Joy (Beethoven symphony #9) would startle the cows less?

The valkyries are reseved for the Huey, once it's finished. Poor cows, but they only react to the model when they can see it. They could not care less when it is up in the air.
I think there is nothing worse than some elevator soundtrack to make a video unbearable. Not even motor sounds are that bad. Speaking of those, I can clearly hear the motor and the gears, but nothing from the rotor. It makes a deep, low frequency humming sound at every abrupt change of direction that carries further than the motor. It sounds somewhat like the effect they used for a Star Wars light saber.

A few years ago, I created a tip: Using the Article Editor (without losing your hair in handfuls)[^] and as part of it, I added a download (so I could take screenshots for the "how to add a download" section) - which I titled "Don't bother to download HelloWorld.zip" as it was just a placeholder with no real use.
And I just noticed that someone did download it ...

It took me a whole day to get used to the loss of swipe to unlock. I actually like it better now, it's faster when using Touch ID.

Until the damn home button starts to get a bit dodgy. Then it's a pain in the a***%#
|
|
|
|
|
Ummm... you have to press the button once to wake it up so does it really matter if you need to press it twice?
Geez! Some people would complain if you hung them with a new rope.

My iPad get confused as to what it should do when the button is click. Sometimes nothing, sometimes shoes all the apps running, sometimes the password lock. It ( or I) struggles to detect accurately double clicks, single click or holding down the button.
It a work device and I doubt they would replace it for me so, if I give it up I'd have to buy my own and it definitely would not be a apple.

Oh c'mon though surely it's not that bad - at least they threw iTunes in for free.

Now wouldn't that suck. If you had to pay for something as bad iTunes.
Mind you, You have have to pay for root canals, so the precedent has been set...
|
|

|

Haha, lol. Funny you should mention dental work. I've had quite a year of it..
To be fair, I've had several root canals, part of my palate removed and more stitches in my mouth than I care to count.
I still dislike iTunes more.
