Remote control airplanes.

I started in earnest early this year, and now a bunch of guys at work are getting into it. The fun is contagious. The technology of electrics (as opposed to gas) has come a long way, making it cheaper, less time-consuming (to build planes), and more fun. It’s really quite fun.

[quote=desmond]If you still have kids in the house then keep it safe, once their out then you can get a little more adventurous. Can anybody tell me how to post a picture, I would like to show what I found out in the forest this weekend?[/quote]

Click on the Add image button right below the comment text box……Then just following the directions… The image has to be a reasonable size (something around 800×600, otherwise it won’t work if the image size is really big…)

Alternatively, if you already have the image on some remote system like flicker or something like, you can just add an image tag just with your URL to the image… Just add the following line in your comment:

<img src=”http://blahblahblah.com/imagename.jpg”/>

I saw this, and was pretty excited about it…

Too bad it only works with iphone and ipad for now. (I am totally anti-apple right now :))

BUT… I got the the Android Open Accessory Development Kit with the Arduino hardware…So…looks like I’ll be tinkering a bit for the next couple of months…
