I took good advantage of being snowed in, and uploaded a lot of pictures to the family section. Check them out by clicking on the link on the right hand side.

Dominic and I were inspired by this video of a home built electric violin using a baseball bat and we decided we had to so something similar. A quick search turned up this howto page: DIY Electric Violin. Now, our wood working skills are no where near as good as the ones in the howto, but the end result is every bit as musical! Check out the pictures and video!

I got around to putting pictures and the story in the Family section. Click on the right to check it out!

I was not happy with the jet ranger body since it did not clear the style of Exi I had with the anti rotation bracket in the front. So I got a Heli-Artist 500D body instead and took my time to mount it right. 3rd time is the charm!! It looks great and fly’s awesome. It is so big, just as visible as the T-rex 500 in the air, but of course much slower and less responsive.

Loads of pictures from Rome and the beach. Click on Family to see them.

I still can’t believe what a good job this app does. Below is a picture of the SR-71 at the Air and Space Museum in Dulles and another shot of the Baltimore harbor. Incredible!

I just bought Pano for the iPhone which allows you to create panoramic pictures. I am blown away by how well it works and how easy to use it is. Resolution is pretty good with the vertical height being 800 pixels, so large enough to use for web display/design purposes. Check out this panorama I made in the baltimore harbor:

I’ve been very happy flying my mini-titan. As I get better, I feel more and more comfortable flying it further way from me and it gets harder and harder to see. As such I decided to try a larger copter and ended up getting a Trex-500. It is quite a big bigger and very fun to fly. I can see it a lot better. The stock motor is crazy fast and it is very very agile not withstanding it’s size. I’m a little scare of it but I’m sure with more flight time it will be OK. It looks fantastic however, check it out below!
