Getting planes ready for the year

Most know I love to fly RC planes, I didn't get to do hardly any flying last year so my planes pretty well were just hanging around, so I am trying to get them up to flight ready condition for this year. Checking batteries by charging and discharging them a few times to make sure the voltage across multiple cells are within tolerance (had one nearly blow up when charging, swelled to triple its size, LiPo's are no joke). Checking servo mounts, running the nitro engines a bit to get them lubed up, had a bastard of a time getting the .35cc and the .65cc racing engine to start. On the line up this year for flight is my always faithful and easy to fly Hobbico…

Buying a new gun, not sure which

I use to shoot competition trap, and I am wanting to again except I no longer have the gun I used for trap shooting. SO I have to get a new one, and I wouldn't buy one like I had, although I did well with it it really wasn't designed to be used as much as I was using it plus I have more knowledge of other trap guns than I had then Choice #1 is the Remington 1100 Trap, it is a semi auto (won't ever need a 2nd shot as I don't shoot doubles), adjustable comb and buttplate. Close to what I had (11-87) but better built, I have used Remingtons all my life and have never had an issue with them. Choice #2 is the Browning BT99, these…

He had Sectionals for track last Saturday, if he had run well he would have gone to State, coach told him a few days before he would only be running the 4x1 relay race (he normally does that, the mile and 400 meter). No biggie right? SO he gets up at 5:30am, on the bus at 6:30. He doesn't get to run, one of the other kids in the relay was a no show. SO he doesn't go to State because of that.

Paintball thread

It's a new paintball season for the NXL. (I probably only one in the crew to follow professional paintball) PSP doesn't seem to have anything going on this year (I think the NXL absorbed them into their ranks) and no word yet on if the NPPL is coming back anything soon after their bankruptcy in 2014. Anyway, I'm sure San Diego will still be a top team, personally I am a Chicago fan (got whooped by Aftershock a few times while I was training with my semi pro team about 10 years ago). I haven't kept track of collage ball for a long time, played against Purdue many times back in the day cuz we used the same field f…

http://invictusgames2016.org/ Seen this on the news today, never heard of till today. It is more or less an Olympics for wounded soldiers of several countries (Afghanistan, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, France, Georgia, Germany, Iraq, Italy, Jordan, Netherlands, New Zealand, United Kingdom and the United States of America). and this is it's 2nd year. It looks pretty interesting, and probably a pretty competitive event/s, it's worth looking into and if you can or want to donate here is the link for US residents https://donatenow.networkforgood.org/invictusgames2016 (dunno about other countries) I will say I almost never pay any at…

Well, this is more towards you people who care little to nothing about soccer, but nevertheless appreciate sports and its greatest achievements. I mean, I don't even know the rules of baseball, but I've watched Joe Carter's World Series winning homerun hundreds of times, feeling a shiver in every one of them. I know it's rare, I know it's great, I know it's in the books. What Leicester City FC achieved today it's not supposed to happen. Big teams almost always win the big football leagues. When it's not the big teams, it's the next best thing below them. In Portuguese football history, for example, only twice in 81 years has a team other than the traditional …

Proud of my daughter

Tomorrow we are going to Springfield (state capitol of Illinois) cuz my 10 year old daughter is competing in the state finals for archery. She is pretty good with her bow especially considering it has no sights on it. She is a bit odd when compared to other kids cuz she does better from the 15 meter line then the 10 meter. I think this gives her an edge as other kids her age suffer a bit at the 15. Anyways, if she finishes in the top 5 she will go nationals in Kentucky.

So it was announced in January. St. Louis is no longer the home of the Rams. They will move to a new facility in Inglewood, CA. Is it a good thing, bad thing? Are you indifferent in the whole ordeal? http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14558668/st-louis-rams-relocate-los-angeles

Ha, and you thought I was talking about LN. Going off of Burger's topic, Major League Baseball kicked off the 2015 season a few days ago. We have any fans of the sport here? Anyone go to any games? Have a long distance favorite or home town team? I'm a Red Sox fan. I've gone to a fair number of games over the years in Boston as well as Toronto back when I lived in New York. And that's right, I'm from New York and I'm not a Yankees fan. Coincidentally enough, tonight (just started about 15 minutes ago) begins yet another bout of one of the most storied rivalries in all of sports: Red Sox vs Yankees. So, am I alone in liking baseball here (other than LN and Furd…

So I have come across this pretty cool video of a remote control fighter jet. There are heaps of videos of other ones but this guy has installed a camera for a point of view and even made the pilot move to control the plane! It would be so much fun to fly one of these things! gta will have to do for now haha What do you guys think of it and have you ever flown rc planes before?

266Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Our Times (2025) dir Chava Cartas A strange sci-fi film that did not seem to know what it really wanted to be. Set in Mexico City, a married couple, both physicists, Nora (Lucero) and Hector (Benny Ilbarra), are researching time travel. They test a machine they have invented, intending a 15 minute trip into the future, but end up going from 1966 to 2025. In the modern day the film tries to explore some effects of time travel both in terms the technological changes Nora and Hector have to adapt to but also social changes. The latter particularly effect Nora who has far more freedom and is taken far more seriously than she was back in the 60s. But the style of the whole film is bit weird. It comes across like a children's or family film. It's a 12 certificate, so no s*x, no violence, no bad language. It has some banal, cheesy music and the time machine looks more old fashioned than the 1960s. But I don't think it could have seriously been aimed at children, as there are no children in it and it's attempts at technical details are a bit too complicated. Also there is a scene where Nora is talking about things she bought at a s*x shop. So I am still confused by why it was in this style. They also attempt to explain how time travel works by throwing in some terms and concepts that do or might exist, but not in a way that could actually make it all possible. As the film was not that serious then, to me, they would have been better not trying to explain something that cannot be explained with any actual science. The acting was just about OK but felt a little amateurish at times. Overall quite disappointing. 4 / 10
