Well, all it costs is money right?

Well here are a couple I found with a quick search on the E site.

First is under a $100 and has a real time screen on the controller. You still have to fly this there and back and it is small. But for this price it could almost be a throw away.

Second you get GPS hold and return to station but is not setup for real time. Fly her over or around, bring it back and see what you can't see in minutes. You are looking at a grand here though.

Throw a little solar panel on and you are topped off and ready to go.

I have an Acer, solid little thing but needs a real USB plug.

But of course we need this.

I have rubber 12g buckshot, lots of pepper spray for a start.

Don, ref the "laptop have you though about a tablet instead? Fingertip control and gps, mapping,  plus you get the camera and long battery life. Biggest bonus is the lighter weight or lack of.

Mine is still solid although noisy. Thinking of a relocate to near the front of the garage, still outside with a small shelter and replace the Comp with a generic iron.

Other option is a new 5+/80 gal unit and get a $100 or so for this one. Funds are low right now with the pool being finished

I had the light kill switch on my 350 with an indicator it was off.

Wearing what you need vs what the bikes needs is a good balance. Strap basics on the side racks, forks and tank. Your needs around your waist leaving the top of the rear rack clear for whatever pops up or a quick grab bag for you.

The sealed lithiums which we use for many things like lap tops and flashlights are in a steel casing. Very safe and durable. They tend to be lower output though but nominal voltage per cell is the same.

Lipos (lithium polymer) or in a metalic aluminum case, normally flat and put out great power to weight.

Both of the above cells will see a charged voltage of 4.2v, 3.7 under load and normally will have a shutoff voltage of around 3.2v. Normal charge was 1c. They don't like to be left fully charged or discharged to get better life from them, say 500 cycles.

This is what can happen when they "vent"; http://liposack.com/video.htm

Now the funny thing is my friend owns this company,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Here is the roof which seems to be common for the older GMs.

Pulled the tires and wheels off (sold for $100) and got these new steel wheels for $60 and 33" coopers for $800. 

Ebay and cut about 30%

Ncstar red/green dot knockoff, 1x works great!! He played with a few scopes and went back to that, likes 62 gr best.

Surprised this hasn't found its way to you yet;

That video was on a heli I was flying and you can see the feedback on the old systems.

I think the first one on the list above will do what you want, but you must supply your own camera. The one from Horizon will have the most support for parts and I have watched them in use.

These quads really fly themselves, you just point it or program it. (HLS has some issue with this stuff) The heli I was flying was a basically a miniature collective pitch heli, all it had was a heading hold gyro, I did the rest.

OK, who has a nice carrier and why do you like it?

I have several panels and plates but all my carriers are for under clothing, I want a "Go" type carrier.

I think this is back on topic.

Well guys, Don pulled me into this too.

Although I am not a nerd with all the techie stuff, I understand it and fly RC aircraft (about 45 years)

The camera systems out there can be simple or whatever your pocket can handle.

You can simply take pictures or video and download or do realtime, but the price goes up.

Plus anyone can fly now with the gyro systems out there. If you have seen the new transformer movie, many shots are from a 6 rotor radio control copter. The heli and the cameras are gyro stabilized.

Here are a few links to wet your interest;

Now if this goes you going just open your wallet. Planes will work too, and some are so small you can just throw and catch (it does take practice) and planes tend to be MUCH quieter and can glide.

Nice stuff there Don. I opened up the safety area a little to much on a 300aac build of mine and the JB filled it fine (pistol). Time will tell though.

I understand many of the military M4s use that method for the pins too. Makes sense because pins fall out way to easy.

See you are a Magpul fan too :D

Supposed to get a 16 inch upper tomorrow from Aries. Chambered in Wilde 223, full float 16 inch with m16 BCG (they had the uppers for $399, now 425) Picked up a spare BCG both in phosphate($80) and Nickle Boron ($100)

Pick up my duty G22 next Tuesday but they boned me and only gave me a 10 round mag, can you believe that!!!

With what they do to gas today, or tomorrow who knows what will hold up.

If you are going to do a cammo wrap just do that. Just get it perforated and it should be fine.

(darn I wrote this at 1400, how did it get down here!)

Order the color you want for that part. Trick is from what I have read i to paint and decal before you put gas in it. You need to use the porus decals.

I have a black tank,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Oh ya, I know about the kit and the fix. Know I don't have long in this condition but the fluid loose has stopped with the JB as I did have a hole.

Do you think the plate or the whole new pump plate, and which case? There is both alum and the alloy that is stock, both are around 2 bills.

THX

Yep, I got it at around 95 K. Thought it was the rear seal at first and talked to Nate about.

Since this IS an issue with looks like pre 07 Dmaxs, what repairs have you guys used?

Right now I did the epoxy fix to hold me for a few more weeks and filled her with 5/30 synthetic.

I also plan to ad to the skid plate that stops just past the tcase that may save it once if going forward, but will do no good otherwise.
