Quote HistoryQuoted:
All this bravado and anti-law rhetoric under the guise of protecting children. If people with these views vote R and think that's conservatism, I hope your party drowns in a shallow bathtub and takes their constituents with it. Advocating beating a man, who was accused by the news media of doing something totally legal, if anything questionable happens to a child in the area? Lol... seriously, reading this thread has turned me from a staunch supporter of conservative viewpoints. appeal to emotion and advocate unlawful behavior because someone does something you dont agree with? You're all a bunch of fucking tyrants. This thread has altered your viewpoints!? 
That aside, if you do something that suggests you are targeting my children, my actions will be whatever I think is required to protect them, and your safety and wellbeing will be low on my list of priorities. |

My ex-wife worked at a public library branch, that was down the street from a private school. A bunch of the kids would walk to the library and 'hang out' until their parents got off work and picked them up. Same thing happened at the previous library branch she worked at, except that one was near a public school. At the branch near the private school, they had a weird guy that always wore sweatpants. He would come into the library and sit at a table, with his hands in his lap. If he thought nobody was looking, he would fondle himself, while watching the school kids. The branch had a couple of high school girls that worked there, part-time, shelving books. One of them turned around to find the guy staring at her, his hands under the table, and obviously quite busy with his hands. He was reported, several times. No arrests. He never exposed himself, and never touched anybody, so there wasn't anything the cops could do about it. The library couldn't even toss him out, because it was public property and they had no proof of him even violating library rules. And people are getting worked up over what they think some guy is up to, while he's flying an RC toy around the neighborhood? As I frequently tell my daughter, when she asks why people do something that is obviously completely illogical, "people are stupid". Quote HistoryQuoted:

That... that might actually work... I've had a redtail hawk go after a delta that I was flying. It had a geared motor setup, with a large prop, and I couldn't get it to do a decent loop, due to the torque from the prop. Kept doing awful looking loops (kind of a sideways spiral), and the hawk started heading straight for it. I stopped doing loops, and started flying in a level, gradual turn, and the hawk turned around and went back to it's tree on the hillside. It must have thought my delta was injured (easy prey), because it was flying funny. |

Bluecor flying wings perform much better in that role, and if properly reinforced, they can take quite a few hits and come away with nothing worse than some scratches. Of the flying wings, I like the Zagnuts. It's also fun to fly a Pibros delta against a bunch of people (an every man for himself combat) flying Zagnuts, but I did crazy stuff like move the CG back a lot farther than it was supposed to be, and had control throws set up for close to 60 degrees up and around 45 degrees down (if I took my eyes off of it for a second, it would spin into the ground). Our rules were simple: you hit the ground, you lose. Sometimes you had to hit somebody several times, to knock them out of the air. The guy that cut foam cores for a Meganuts (six and a half foot wingspan Zagnuts), then added OAK spars to the damn thing, and powered it with a Jetii Phasor and 10 cell NiCad pack, was nearly impossible to knock out of the air. better yet what if you had quad with a tear away dangling ribbon to tangle his rotors. That's old school RC combat. We tried that with the electrics, but in the days of NiCad packs and speed 400 brushed motors, the planes could barely fly while pulling the ribbons. ...which led us to full contact combat, and building the planes to survive midair collisions. |

I usually showed up a half hour or more early, so I had some time. When they asked me to keep an eye on him, I was warned to not do anything other than observe, since doing anything would make me something other than a witness, if the police were called. The guy had SEVERE issues with interacting with other people, and may have been mildly mentally retarded. I watched him dry hump his car door, before he unlocked the door and got in the car. He never exposed himself (that I saw), but he frequently had one or both of his hands down the front of his sweatpants. I reported everything that I observed, to the manager of the library branch. They never had enough to file any charges, because he never talked to anybody, never touched anybody, and never exposed himself. |

It has 12 cameras and will chase a drone, fly over it, and drop fishing line in the rotors. http://www.popsci.com/rapere-anti-drone-interceptor Oh hell no, Snips' lawyers will hear about this! That's ILLEEEEGUL |

Quote HistoryQuoted: ...which led us to full contact combat, and building the planes to survive midair collisions.  Airframes are about $2 each, plus the price of a carbon rod (or bamboo skewers) for the wing and whatever hot glue you use. Reliable power combo is about $40, $6 servos, cheap pushrods, $8 lipo and a $9 receiver. I used to sell them receiver-ready for about $75 just to get people into it. When you have 6-8 of them going at it, it's absolute hilarity. The airframes are made of Dollar Tree foamboard, and the design will keep flying with half a wing gone  (I've done it many times). After that round is over, chop a roughly equal amount off of the opposite wing and do it again. It's rare to damage the rest of the equipment but we've had a couple of flukes. I dead centered a friend from the top at full throttle and shattered his ESC, which caught on fire. Then his plane caught the field on fire ETA: Here's a few Raptors I built  |

Around the summer of 2000, a couple of the avionics techs got a few of us mechanics interested in RC. Sky Scooters had just come out, and they made decent trainers (and could actually do a little combat, after you gained some altitude). We eventually moved on from the Sky Scooters, to buying Bluecor fanfold foam insulation from Lowes and building from scratch. If you made a posterboard template for laying out a Zagnuts wing, then clipped the span of the template down to make a 32 inch wingspan (keeping the same chord), it was a hell of a combat plane with a speed 400 and a 7 or 8 cell NiCad. Cut some strips of foam to put inside the wing (to bump the upper surface up to an airfoil shape), add some fiber reinforced strapping tape as "spar caps", then cover the whole thing with clear packing tape, and you really didn't need any more reinforcement. Vertical surfaces at the tips, and the elevons, could also be made of Bluecor, and those two components usually turned out to be the weak points of the airframe. |

I went for a walk in the evening last night and had a drone follow me.
I stopped, pointed at it, and then scratched my ass a little. I am hoping someone puts up a youtube video and it goes viral. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
so following this, i guess the rc fanboys would be ok with someone following their kids around in a van taking pictures of them. right? The Somalians (notice it tends to be them) can't fathom the notion of having children to protect--because they aren't dry behind the ears and are still playing with toys. I predicted early in this thread they would swarm here and defend the guy.

Being a creep ain't illegal. It sure is a huge red flag for those with children though. Note he isn't just some guy flying his toy around. He's specifically using it to FOLLOW CHILDREN HOME. If his thought processes view that as acceptable, then he is fucked in the head. Illegal or not, he's fucked up. Taking pictures of children in public (not your own) isn't illegal. Creepy, yes, illegal no. Photography is not a crime!!! How come you can't go within 500 feet of any of the grade schools in your area then?? 
KIDDING! Don't anyone think I'm being serious--I'm just trying to make a funny.

This is much ado about nothing.
Not exactly a criminal mastermind if he is using some an obnoxious device, that neighbors know is his, to hatch his kidnapping plans. Sensationalized bullshit. The kids probably point and wave at it. |

Since we're making up shit about each other, I'm sure you'll be right there with me. Your murder rage will get the best of you one day. |
