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.

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?

213Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Emilia Perez (2024) dir Jaques Audiard A multi award-nominated musical about a Mexican drug baron who always felt they were a woman born in a man's body. She fakes her own death and has gender reassignment, plus a lot of other plastic surgery, to start a new, better, life in a new identify. She is assisted in all this by her lawyer, Rita and tries to re-establish some sort of relationship with her wife Jessi and kids. Emilia is played by Karla Sofia Gascon (a trans woman) and has been nominated for best leading actress in the Oscars and Baftas. But I would say it is Zoe Saldana, as Rita, who is the main character. Both she and Selana Gomez, as Jessi, have picked up (supporting actress) nominations, as has the director, makeup artists, composers, producers, writers and others in technical roles. It could win all of those. I don't think it will, but I haven't seen that many films released last year yet. It seems to be one that you either love or hate. I suspect a lot of the hate is coming from people who are anti-trans and can't see past that aspect of the film. I liked it, the music and cinematography in particular. The acting was good, but I'm not sure if it was award-winningly good. I also think the script could have been better. It's just over 2 hours long but because it has so many musical scenes that, as is usually case in musicals, don't advance the plot the way spoken dialogue would, it felt to me like it ought to have been longer to fill in some missing details. The musical numbers were good though, sort of similar to a Baz Lurhman film, in that the actors singing them do not necessarily have a great singing voice but also with some scenes that just burst into a massive dancing and singing show that then goes back to dialogue afterwards. And a lot of it is not musical at all. There were a couple of cheesy scenes; one in-particular in a Thai gender reassignment clinic that Rita is checking out before finding the right one, did not make much sense to me. Maybe they were trying to say “this is the popular image of a s*x-change clinic, but in reality it's something far more serious”? Another slightly weak plot element is that Jessi does not recognise her former husband after the surgery. Of course that surgery has made some massive physical changes, that was the point, but even so, would you not pick up on some characteristics of a person you have been married to for years and had kids with? I can forgive that though, put it down to artistic license, in the same way I forgive William Shakespeare frequently making his characters unrecognisable to their friends and family just by doing their hair different and wearing a hat! 8 / 10- 3
