This is in the manual? Wow, it's a whole PSA crammed in there!

That brings up a semi-hypothetical situation... DUI checkpoints. Here in southern Louisiana, they're a pretty regular thing (we do love our booze, I'll give you that.)

Employment data source, please?

I can hear Xander fapping already.

1st Gear: Happy Birthday to yooo...

Blonde.

I was just imagining Seth Green saying it in my head while I typed.

Read into it as you will. I just thought it was funny.

For some reason, I'm reminded of the following old joke:

"You know what I miss? Drunk driving."

A serious attempt to find the lap speed of the car around the wafer, but sadly an errant twist of a microscope probe caused the molecules to change valence halfway through the run, invalidating the data. The technician operating the probe could give no explanation for his slip-up.

Tiny? Sure? But not tiny enough! Behold, a car made out of one molecule

When I used the term "motor pitch", I was not referring to the same blade pitch (which is the blade angle.) "Motor pitch" refers to the pitch of the sound (i.e. tone) the motor makes. Same word, different meaning. When I say "negative pitch" and "pitch curves", I'm referring to the rotor blade pitch. Apologies if it…

IIRC, when you engage 3D mode, you're simply changing the pitch curves and activating a pre-programmed throttle mode, which will allow the chopper to attain negative pitch and thus fly inverted (in negative pitch the blade thrust is pushing the chopper down rather than up.) In collective-pitch 5+-servo helos, 3D mode…

Am... suddenly... compelled... to... send... Grace... my... star.

Given the thrust-to-weight ratio of the 3D-capable choppers, maneuvers like these are actually quite easy — you're only limited by the skill and visual awareness of the pilot. As a relative beginner to the RC chopper world, I can attest to the sheer difficulty of having to co-ordinate so many axes of control, all…

I haven't seen giant stones and machinery being maneuvered through narrow slots that deftly since Caswell at the WRC Mexico rally.

The marine insurance agent must have been having heart palpitations when the ferry cast off. And promptly downed a bottle of Scotch after it berthed and (safely) unloaded.

I'm both impressed by the level of detail put into this model, and depressed because it reminds me that my quad still doesn't fly yet. :'(

Looking through Jalopnik (and Señor Werto's) page histories on the Wikis, there have certainly been some um, interesting revisions.
