    I’m much more into printing my parts, soldering my own components, and using the “dumbest” tech available.

    … Honestly this is mostly because I don’t want them telling me where I can and cannot fly… And also tracking easily. It’s not like I’m flying over airports or anything. I do take the laws mostly seriously. But if I want to, I don’t want there to be a Geofence.

    If flying paintball marker sure does seem like a fun project though… Do you think they will let me play on the field with that? Lol

      that would depend on whose field, how far away from people you are and how “serious” the match is. Tournaments? lol. no. guys mucking about? maybe.

      As for the rest of that… same. same. probably my favorite aircraft is actually (technically) a thermal airship. I used nichrome wire to heat it up. I say technically because Buoyant Bob is basically a giant floaty beachball that passes out candy on Halloween. (I may have used a nano MPx rotor for his propeller. I’m sure I just offended some heli snobs, but it’s vectored thrust and he waddles through the air)
