"Ha! I've got one of those! I've had this Syma heli for over 6 months now, and fly it around the house almost daily! Awesome little toy, extreamy easy to fly, totally unbreakable and only cost me $50. Dosn't fly well outside (or anywhere near a draft…"
"Wow!! So did Rolland *actually* say that they switched to autonomous mode, and the plane started switching rapidly between auto and manual modes?? I once had my XtremeStick behave exactly like that, except it was all in manual mode, and it was r/c…"
"Hi Tim, really nice work. I really like the instruments and want to use them on my own project, but I'm having trouble adding the Avionics Instrument Controls (from codeproject) to my own project in VS2010. Could you explain (or just send me a PM or…"

haha!!! I knew someone would pick that up! I made a mistake when I created that plot. The flight path is actually "clamped" to the ground, while the figure 8 is floating in mid air on Google Earth, so it looks like it hasn't…"
Just a question; are the normal points awarded against the times achieved? If so, I would like to claim second on time (i.e. 8 points) while Sami would be third (i.e. 6 points), but second overall given the…"
"Hi guys,
