Aloha Frank,

     Here is a little something that brings out the Grandfather in us all!  These kids sound great together.  I have no idea what has come of their efforts together.  To my knowledge, the girl, Jayden, has a lot more exposure, but, wow they sound great together - like a very young BeeGees.  Unfortunately, the boy, Brayden may be having a voice change soon as often happens.  So sad!  Keep an eye on them!

“But nothing makes a forum feel emptier than wanting someone in it.”

Yes he is certainly missed around here...

i didn't know it would be so hard
i didn't know you'd remain
i sometimes open my mouth to speak
but just fragments escape
let me go
the rug. pulled out
let me go
my balance. shot
i didn't know you would hold on
i didn't know i'd want you to
my heart attaches to something new
and just splits in two
and will not let you go
the rug. pulled out
let me go
my balance. shot
the rose pokes out of the snow
and will not let me go
let me go
the rug. pulled out
let me go
let me go
please
never
let
me
go

Hello Dear Cetacean ! Chas is Santa !! , stay safe my Friend ;)

Hello Dear Cetacean ! Chas is Santa !!  , stay safe my Friend ;)

Aloha Frank,

     You guys really got a nice flying space there.  The best part is how you share it will all kinds of flight.  An inspiration.

     We have a flight area here called a model aircraft flying area set next to Kawai Nui Marsh behind Kailua.  They like quads there because if one of their planes goes down in the marsh, the quads are well designed to find it.  The locations is even next to steep mountains so RC sailplanes can use it.

     Take care and be safe!

Aloha,

     This recent video using DJI FPV products has sent Hollywood into a Whoop World, and they are blown away!  Read the article and watch the video.  Good fun if you can fly like that!  
     The pilot uses the DJI FPV Goggles (antennaes removed in the photo) and a DJI FPV Air Unit on the shrouded drone.

     Take care and be safe!

Hi Cetacean,
Yes still working, got another 5 and a half years before the government will allow me to retire with a pension, but I don't think the body will last that long, been in the mechanical trade for 44 years and it has taken it's toll on the body.
Wombat definately needs webbed feet but it is now a big clean up, weird to think last year they had the worst bushfires ever in that part of Australia.
Had the P4P up last Saturday for the first time in a long time, it was good to get some air time.

talk again soon
Eric

Hi Cetacean,
as far as I know all good over eastern Australia after the floods
Now here in the West there has been a cyclone in the north causing quite a lot of damage to towns that were not built to withstand cyclonic winds, cyclones, rarely get down as far as this one did, lots of homes and businesses destroyed and damaged not good at all

Aloha Eric,

     That is not good!  The sad part of asking questions like that are the answers you might get.  The World is changing.  We need to be prepared.

     Chas was always interested in various parts of the World.  In fact, my first interaction with Chas was a video made by a guy on Maui using parabolics on his antennae.  For some reason I thought, way back then (5 years), that you had to post your own videos.  Chas took me to school - in a nice way.

     It looks like Australia is going to have its own unique set of climate circumstances to deal with in the coming future.  You guys already have underground towns in the outback (Coober Pedy).  But, there are ways to stop desertification.  They are trying it in the Sahara now.

     But like every problem there is a benefit.  The Saharan sand storms feed nutrients to the Atlantic and help the fisheries there.  Unfortunately, those fisheries just keep getting overfished.  Humans really need to begin understanding the results of what they so.  We keep shooting ourselves in the foot!

     Take care and be safe!
