This may be a naive question, but does your rc helicopter fall under the "drone category"? I know it's technically not a drone, but here where I live they have now been outlawed unless you register with a reg number ( like license plates for a car type thing) to fly it and you can only fly it up to 400ft above ground and with a 2-3 mile radius from the base station/remote....

I know in the US the drone laws are lax now but I read recently most other countries are either banning them or strictly regulating their flight to less than 400 ft to avoid aircraft, weather balloons etc...

Yes drones here require registration too as of last year. Too many stupid drone 'pilots' were flying close to helicopters and commercial aircraft. I'm sure rc helicopters don't fall in the drone category because 1) they take a lot of skill to fly and there's a steep and expensive learning curve so very few people fly them (talking about 4-channel rc helis, not the 3-channel ones which can't be flown in wind). Drones basically fly themselves. A 4 year old can fly one with no experience.

And 2) for decades now, any rc pilot flying an aircraft (plane or heli) that weighs more than 5 lbs (?) is required to have an AMA license (Academy of Model Aeronautics, not American Medical Association lol). I used to have one. You just have to know all the rules and regulations for flying rc aircraft (so you don't endanger people or property). The difference is that the AMA is just a national hobby organization, whereas the FAA is the government.

Here's a video that shows how complicated it is to fly an rc helicopter. This guy helped build and fly the scale rc helicopter used in the movie Blue Thunder back in the 1980's.

That's my desktop background! I got it from Ubuntu 6.06 I think. I liked it so much that I saved it to my external hard drive, with double backups, and use it on almost every computer I have.

Cool! I Googled "September" images and found it. :o
 
Well mine does not say happy September on it... I don't really want it to. Then I would only be able to use it one month out of the year.

That is true love... what her family and villagers do for her. And yes Molly, great faith. She has a focus on life and goals, and it does not seem like her disability is going to deter her. And giving God thanks for everything! Amazing.
 
This morning we all over slept. I managed to get the kids to school in time, then I came back home, made my lunch and went to work. We're just getting the class room ready no kids yet. I was on a rush and forgot to eat breakfast, so on the way I went through the Tim Hortons drive thru and got a muffin, I don't really like muffins but I was so tired and out of it, I couldn't think oatmeal when I ordered. So I get to work rush up. Walk in the class room , mouth full of gross fruit muffin, see my self in a mirror and realize how awful I look. I said with a mouth full, I look awful. My coworker started laughing because I have this mouth full of food, my hair which is curly wavy is just sticking up, my shirt was inside out. I really ran out the door today and didn't look in a mirror. It was funny.

I think they do. My Mom buys disposable cameras and I think they're Kodak. I had a Kodak Easy Share, but it stopped working after two years. Then I bought a Nikon Cool Pics and the shutter broke when I was on vacation, very nice. Now I just use my phone. Nothing is quality made anymore.
 
I made zucchini bread and it smells sooooo good!! I'm gonna go have a slice while it's warm and put butter on it.

Be back later............... :o
