Good morning!!!!

LS-

David- How's the poor drone doing?

:

I’d have to say mixed results. We were able to remount the gimbal and it worked well. Flew 2 batteries, a couple of Litchi missions. Last battery, flew somewhat aggressively. Guessing that the adhesive we used on the gimbal wasn’t appropriate and on a hard landing it popped off again this time tearing the flat cable. No other damage apparent. New cable on order and due Wednesday. Probably use a 2 part epoxy this time on the gimbal.

BEF- Nice looking tractor. It looks to be a really good shape and still operational.

I actually bowled ~143. I was part of some performance enhancement hypnosis research project. The hypnosis my have helped my bowling skills, but it did not help me make those Saturday 8:00AM classes. :embarrassed: Back then I majored in partying and frisbee. Too bad they were not credit earning courses.

Light snow is falling and melting as I type. It is still 40F.

Dave- Too bad about the adhesive. I have had good results with JBWeld as filler and bonding adhesive. Is that a Phantom2?

My last project on my build was to mount a 2 axis gimbal. It did not end well. The gimball when powered up had a Grand Mal seizure and started convulsing across the work area. No magic smoke.

The "Flying C". There is more "stuff" hanging off it now (including a FAA registration #). I bought the frame and chose my own components. I have since upgraded the motors and electronic speed controls, improved the video cam to a HD Mobius and added a TV camera for first person view + another battery to power the TV transmitter. Launching it is like preparing for a NASA rocket launch with 5 different LiPo batteries to charge and confirm/reset the flight controller settings.. I have lost count of all the crashes and resultant rebuild/upgrades.

I was watching the news and a call came through on the Comcast phone that I never use, the caller ID on the screen said; ILLEGAL SCAM, 443-xxx-xxxx I kid you not, I finally stopped laughing.

I got my electric panel mounted, drilled the hole and ran the 10/3 to daylight. Also mounted several 2 gang boxes. It got too cool and damp so I headed to the Kuerig.

Got back from PT. Back and leg are already feeling better. Got some exercises to do until next Monday. But I feel like I am coming down some kind of crud. So I spent a couple hours taking a very relaxing nap. Took a walk around property while sun was out. Now I am ready for another nap.

Ron, I hope you aren’t sick. Glad the other parts are better.
