Don't insult knobs that way!"

"Most of the arguments here about thrust being blocked by the ESC under the prop overlook the fact that thrust is being blocked by the arm anyway. Is the ESC wider than the arm? Not standing on edge. Is the ESC less aerodynamic than the arm? Yes,…"
"The wind shifts my hair. I hear a slight hum. I feel eyes on me...
What is that smell? Cinnamon?
Oh crap! There's a DRONE in the air!!!!

"That's a nice AIRPLANE ESC..."
"If it flies well in Stabilize and AltHold, then your basic wiring and dampening would seem to be okay. If it screams off only when you engage a mode that requires positioning...
There is such a thing as too much vibration dampening:

""set the waypoint radius to 50 meters "
Ahah! A waypoint with a 50 meter radius is a 100 meter diameter sphere. Anywhere inside that sphere satisfies the FC that it has reached that waypoint. Try with a 1 meter waypoint radius. (The larger…"

"Stabilize and AltHold do not use GPS. Auto does. I'm thinking that your problem is based in your MR thinking that it is somewhere that it is not, and trying to fix that problem.
Please temper anything that Darius says with a bucket of incredulity…"

"Okay. Now I have a real problem with the 'wet noodler'.
He is giving bad advice to a newbie who has no idea that he's being fed manure by a horse's ass:

"Matt: You made me spew beer on my keyboard! My son is gonna copy your 'baby seal' line on some of his friends.
The 'wet noodler'?
Dare he? Us? Jack off?
Read that fast 3 times.
Sorry."

"I'm not sure that our theoretical wet noodler has ever built an MR. Demanding photos to validate actual experience was good for about a week. Now I just take solace in knowing that it takes him much longer to BING and Wiki his comments than it…"
"Using Liquid Tape: Open the bottle. Put a dollop of material on a disposable work surface (I use masking tape). And close the bottle. The solvent in the tape evaporates very quickly. If you try to work from the bottle taking a little at a time,…"
"I over use liquid tape. It takes a while to cure, but holds well; and removes well when you peel it.

"Forrest - thanks for the research. I learned from your testing. I've been waterproofing with Corrosion X and liquid tape, but that 3M sealant looks like a better match in some cases.
I no longer use hot glue on any of my builds. When it heats up,…"

"I don't think that the 'authorities' give a hoot about getting drones safely to ground. They just want to knock them out of the sky and pick up the pieces.
I'm waiting on someone to develop a projectile that approaches the UAV and then explodes…"
