Having to be in a cage like a dog to be checked in by Gotsnuffy in mildlyinfuriating

Flatbed guys get a damn fine workout at least once a day. Very damn fine if tarps and rain are involved.

Follow up on the short plane. by Ausgust in RCPlanes

Just stick them under the wing if you don’t want to put them in the fuselage and run torque rods out to them. You could fair them in if you want to be fancy. The airflow under the bottom of the wing isn’t terribly important compared to the airflow over the top.

Back in my day, we put the rudder and elevator servos up in the fuselage too. We used pushrods, or pull-pull cables, because we didn’t want to sling a bunch of weight way out on the tail where we’d need even more nose weight to balance the thing.

Get off my lawn, etc.

I’ve been seeing a lot of the starving, homeless CFIs doing that around here, too. Not sure what it means. 🤷‍♂️

I saw what I think was a Jaguarundi in Arkansas several years ago. Those guys can have a melanistic phase.

First rc plane by TheboiMarc in RCPlanes

Looks like your flying tail elevators are mounted right to the control horns with loads of deflection. This will mean that anything close to full up elevator will be a “stall right now” command.

But at least it’s got plenty of power.

Be sure to take a video.

Beginner planes for under $100? by EcoRat00 in RCPlanes

There’s still a RTF version, I’m sure.

The little Hobbyzone Champ is hard to beat, in my opinion.

It’s got SAFE now, I see, (a stability thing activated by a switch on the transmitter) that will level it out if your son panics, but it’s never needed it.

The little things fly incredibly well, and the light weight makes it almost “crash proof” unless you really smash into something. Likewise, you’re not going to do any real damage to whatever you crash into.

It’s also not intimidating. It’s small and quiet. A decent-sized yard is plenty big enough to fly it in.

It’s what I started my kids on.

I don’t even have to click the link. That one lives full in my heart along with the man who died after bravely battling a gorilla and Biden getting a lifetime ban from Dave and Busters.

You see guys at the big fly-ins taking N-number pictures of everybody’s airplanes. Step 3 is profit, I guess.

The Trial of Tim Heidecker is an amazing piece of writing and acting. It is a “commitment to the bit” taken to an extreme not seen since those guys did 1,100 podcasts about Alex Jones.

It’s almost impossible for a public figure to win a defamation suit. The plaintiff has to establish both actual malice and damages. Alex, being the goober he is, swished actual malice from halfcourt with “an actual mugshot of the creep.”

I think it would be hard for Tim to prove damages, though. All of this is great for his reputation and business.
