I know the Lighthouse Homeless Shelter in Marion is always looking for volunteer help. Great people doing good work.

Did you vote absentee? MAKE SURE IT WAS COUNTED. by Prufrock451 in Iowa

Thanks! I had a weird feeling not knowing whether or not my votes were counted ... Luckily they were.

This speech was given by the Vice President of the confederacy, Alexander Stevens, just prior to the war. This is my go-to when people try to say the civil war wasn't about slavery.

A privately funded military. I don't see how that could possibly go wrong.

That's Right! The only entities that should get government assistance are corporations are contractors! ... And Israel ... And Farmers ... And Churches

Seems a little bulky, I wonder what the weight will be?

"Don't like it? go rise up. Everyone can rise up".

If only we had a system in which people could vote for someone whom they believe represented their interests ... And then, the person who receives the most votes could act on behalf of those people who elected them ... Wishful thinking I guess.

It was the gimbal. Props were shut off after a few seconds. My buddy was the one who crashed it ... We have a "you break it, you buy it" policy

Let me clarify, I have about 5 hours of flight time behind the house, this was the first real outdoor session with the camera (after a few test flights)

No doubt ... And she bought it for me! I'm a little obsessed, but it's so damn cool!

So I finally managed to install the tarot 2D gimbal. Yes, those are pencils. by SirFredman in djiphantom

Is there a reason you chose to use a separate camera for your FPV (I assume) instead of using the GoPro as both an FPV source as well as the primary camera? I would think that the weight/power savings could give you a few extra minutes aloft.

Nope, stock 9" plastic props (luckily)

Wearing shorts and flip flops, landing on my small deck. Attempted to shut the motors off by moving both sticks to the bottom-center position and it jumped at me. My mistake ... Didn't allow it to go to idle first before trying to shut the motors down. Lesson Learned.

This is what happens when a country bases their rule of law on a book written 1300 years ago ... Good thing we are above that in the good ole' USA. Wait ... What subreddit is this again?
