I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

The arrows are trying to pass through my commercial target block. Too much kinetic energy.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

JohnMitchell 16 #559 January 3, 2015 Great pics and it looks like you had some good weather too. We've only visited Paris once but really want to get back there. New Year's Eve in Paris has a certain ring to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New Year's Eve in Paris has a certain ring to it. Paris was great, the food was great, the weather was acceptable for the time of year. I climbed the stairs to the 2nd platform of the Eiffel Tower (elevation 365ft) but took the elevator the rest of the way to the top. Only the airlines tried to mess it up.

On the other hand, the French railways (SNCF) put ours to shame. Quiet, comfortable, clean, on-time. The Paris Metro is also fantastic - gets you within about a block of anywhere in the city, and the longest we ever had to wait was about 4 minutes....

JohnMitchell 16 #566 January 7, 2015 Nice. Oven roasted? What's the herb and spice mix? Funny, we roasted a chicken for dinner tonight too. Such an easy, simple way to make a great and economical meal. We taught all of our kids how to do it. Tomorrow night, tortilla soup made from the leftover chicken carcass. Two meals for $5.

Nice job. We actually brine, then smoke. You may want to try that once or twice. I use apple and cherry wood, esp. for Poultry. We used hickory one time and the whole bird tasted like a giant "pressed Turkey ham"! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 798 #569 January 7, 2015 I have sworn by brining for years! Never again. Dry salting makes for a MUCH juicier bird. I'm STILL amazed how this thing turned out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #570 January 7, 2015 I see. Dry or wet, brining does great with turkeys. What kind of wood did you use for smoking? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Calvin19 0 #575 January 15, 2015 https://vimeo.com/116622517 Fun at work. We took the company UAS out for a personal shoot in 4k. This big bird (~35lb)came back after a 3min flight with .25" of clear ice on the LEs of the rotor blades. Got pretty unresponsive and hard to control for the hand catch. (slope is very steep, almost impossible to climb up there let alone level space to use as a pad) First flight we did with the lighter test ship and accumulated half that in a longer flight. Icing, in every encounter I have had with it, is nothing to fuck with. Unless the aircraft is not yours and you're not in it!Continued flight into known icing!
