    Bad idea.....

  5. I cant even imagine all the time and effort that must have gone into this. and I always imagine how heartbroken owners must be when these things crash..... I do think there should probably be a time when the radio controls include live video for the user. Landing these things must be a beast.

  6. Though not unexpected, UPS announced it has permanently retired all of it's remaining MD-11F freighters as of last month. I've a number of friends that flew them at FedEx, and they all believe the same news will be coming from them as well. The last of the big tri-jets, and the end of an era. https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/ups-md11-freighter-retirement

    Rough sees for Channel Islands... So my Amazon order I just made will be delayed I suppose. But hopefully not as bad as the motherboard I ordered that took weeks to arive, then materialised banging around in a flimsy box outer box. Upon opening the MB box, no socket cover, bent socket pins, dust on the board so not new and been in somebodies system... and no manuals or cables or accessories. Im not kidding. An expensive board too. You can imagine my anger.

    This is the last e-mail I had with him please read… if anyone have access to this medicine he needs .Thank you ! Pembrolizumab 200mg Unfortunately, I now have to undergo treatment with something stronger, as the doctor prescribed. It involves medications that I can't find here in Peru and that I have to buy in the United States. It's Pembrolizumab 200mg, and I have to take it for four cycles along with chemotherapy. The truth is, I didn't have the money initially, and he had suggested some cheaper medications and treatments with creams and vitamins, but they didn't help at all. Weeks passed, and at the beginning of this year, I had more tests done be…

  11. Fifty years ago today Concorde flew its first commercial flight. Twenty seven years of supersonic travel came to an end in October 2003. If you were lucky enough to fly on her it’s an experience I’m sure you’ll never forget. Sadly, I didn’t have the money but I do the next best thing and fly the FS Labs version in P3Dv5.

This article is free to read. 50 years on, the story of Concorde still has the power to surprise https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/bba2973801667ab4

    Will there really be as many Tesla Optimus robots as people. Will this really be the product the company is remembered for? Best if we steer clear of our opinions of Musk and just stick to discussion regarding the tech. 🤔
