I was just hoping he had safety glasses on when he broke out the wire wheel. A friend of mine lost the lens in his left eye from a wire that came loose when he was polishing an aluminum keg. He was lucky that the wire didn’t reach the retina.

It’s less about the space and more about the number of doors. My wife lasted two weeks carting around our first-born in a two-door coupe before DEMANDING something with more direct access to the back seat.

Welcome to McDowell’s!

Is that jag is sniffing that guy’s butt or is he recharging the bio-diesel system? Wait, no, its a special methane-based NOS system, right?

Nice read. You grabbed the wrong image, though.

If epic views are what you are after, hang-gliders are the best source. I’ve flow in everything from a hang glider to a 747. Nothing beats the view from a harness.

There are companies already selling plane-based “drones” with VTOL capability. This particular design may not scale well, but it is very functional for its designed purposes

The really big news is that the flight controller hardware and software now use better reference systems to give centimeter-level flight accuracy in ideal conditions. Even better, the ground station software can control the flight paths of five Osmos simultaneously, allowing for multiple platforms to catch a shot from…

We need a review on the Blade Inductrix.

Muse’s version of Deflategate.
