This. Apparently I can't be the "greatest dad ever" unless I've got a few mil laying around to spend on vanity projects.

Yeah, he's an idiot, talking about something he knows little to nothing about. Any decent RC pilot (yes, we are pilots, and many of us fly full-scale aircraft in addition to our models) knows and abides by the common rules of RC flight. We're well aware of the dangers our models pose, and go to great lengths to find…

Look up RCGroups - Multirotor Talk, Flite Test Forums - Electric Flight - Multirotor, or even the plain ol' Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) just for starters. You don't have to look hard to find a community of "drone" operators, most of whom are quite wary of idiots doing stuff like in the article, because it…

Came here to post this. Barely 15 years after the Wright Brothers flew at Kitty Hawk, this thing was in the air.

I recently heard parkour described as the "French Martial Art of Running Away". National stereotypes aside, that was pretty fucking funny.

I got that ditch an SUV. Ditches love SUVs.

Though I never went as far as making a chart, I once owned a '95 VW GTI that had a very temperamental dash, so I memorized speeds and gears when it was working so eventually I didn't really care when it didn't.

You know who else had pages upon pages of mad scribblings he hoped would keep him on top of the game?

Bring it.

Well, the tiny net is a death sentence... and these guys wear them on their heads!

Yup, just bad with money. We don't have cable. We don't go out to eat. We don't buy movies, music or games, except on the rare occasion when we've got the $20 to buy something "just for fun" for our son. No one in our house had paid for a haircut in years. I'm wearing shoes I bought in 2004. I haven't bought my wife a…

#9 is right on the money, as it were.

Incidents like that made Rusty the man he is today.
