I don't foresee anything with propellers smaller than a real helicopter doing actual firefighting.

Doesn't Elliot Carver own Bay Ship & Yacht Co? That sub looks very familiar..

Hmm. I beg to differ. They are very close in fact. Brands aside, many of the zips in bonded shells used for snow sports are near-identical to this, as is the method of bonding a textured fabric to a waterproof one. Acronym did that years ago. Wool on the outside bonded to GoreTex substrate.

There aren't any real all-in 250 size packages. All the ARF's will still need battery, transmitter and receiver, sometimes the flight controller (that contains the 3 or 6 axis sensors and stability electronics) and certain other components, some of which are optional. Most ARF kits will include just a frame, motors,…

Anything under 250 (which will run 5" props) is considered a micro quad like the indoor / outdoor park flyer Blade Nano QX and Blade 180 (the 180 is the size).

At 1 pound in weight, and being a tricopter, (not quad) this will be very sluggish and likely useless in anything but zero wind conditions. Look at any of the micro Quad kits out there like the QAV250 and the BlackOut Mini H, and their flying weight averages half of this even with their FPS camera gear. (Most like…

Gimbal's add weight, and in a multirotor this size, every gram added is flight time lost and / or agility lost. Which is why only 400-size quads and above (400mm rotor to rotor diagonal) are usually seen with gimbals. They have bigger motors which need bigger batteries which means bigger payload while retaining power…

But in this case I'll hazard a guess that "office" means sofa at home, or a coffee bar in The Burg..

With 13 oak trees in my yard, I can look out at any time during the day and see a grey squirrel. It's not unusual right now, with all the nuts on the ground from fall, to see for or five at once. I get quite a few chipmunks too. I'm in So Orange, NJ - not exactly the wilderness, but I am very near a large wildlife…

The problem with quads losing a prop is not so much balance as torque rotation. All quad copters have two props rotating clockwise, and two counter clockwise. Their opposing spins, and thus opposing torque force are what holds the copters rotational direction.
When you spin a quad, what you are doing is slowing down…

Lets clarify here, the Wi-Fi controlled Parrot AR (toy) quadcopters use protocols that are nothing like the NAZA controlled DJI Flame (hobby / semi pro) quadcopter in the main picture. Even budget alternatives to NAZA (like Arduocopter) are far more secure with their binding protocols. Chances are that commercial…

Or you could design a pair you CAN own at Nike ID. Though the styles and coloways available change all the time so you can't always do Dunks, like you see in the magnets.

Why LED's and not Electroluminescence? Whilst uniform, is the latter not bright enough? Too costly? Or technically inferior / less reliable in some way?

So, is it the speed at which it orbits it's sun the cause of it's heat? i.e. it's roughly the same distance from it's sun as we are from ours, but it travels that much faster. (I thought there was no friction in a vacuum, hence why objects only burn up when they hit our atmosphere).
Or, is it's 8.5 hour orbit because…

You can already buy glow stones, in varying sizes from small rocks to fairly granular, and mix them into concrete or any other mix and set application, like resin. Driveways, countertops, paths, decks, swimming pools. etc.

Not such a stretch of the imagination, depending on where you live..

Statement: Appearing in a movie assasinating many meatbags would please HK-47.

I'm very close to putting a deposit down on an S. The only thing holding me back right now is nailing down quotes from Solar panel installers to configure a closed system that only goes to my garage outlets, where I charge all my 18v tools too, and which would only put electricity to the main house when there was no…

I don't see the point on a big screen TV sized screen. It strikes me that a curve would be better for a large (24"-30") PC monitor used by a single person, or a home theater projection screen between 90"-150" in size where several people, possibly in two rows, get the benefit - a mini IMAX if you will...
