Thanks! 1/4 scale is something for sure. I still have big scale Piper Cub hanging on the high ceiling in my living room. Man that thing could fly so slow, in the air you couldn't tell it was just a model. And the sound of that 10cc engine even with scale muffler. One of these days I take it down and to the field again. Drone flying has made me a bit lazy.
Could not agree more...you sound like a very reasonable personThanks! 1/4 scale is something for sure. I still have big scale Piper Cub hanging on the high ceiling in my living room.

Let's take it a notch down from now on.
I'm all in for a nice and friendly discussion, even with people who disagree with me.
Some of my best friends are architects (the truth) so don't feel bad, it can happen to anyone.
Start the thread bro...Some of my best friends are architects (the truth) so don't feel bad, it can happen to anyone.
Just joking man! Lighten up. This forum is generally very friendly. But it just is so tempting... I was just having fun.
Any examples of works? Would be very interesting. Should be a nice thing to catch with a drone, something you designed yourself.
Let's start a new thread about what we do for a living in the off topic area. Should be fun.
I mean it. You won't believe my career story, I promise.
Never used my drone for that purpose. And I have never used that expression and never will. I would never convince anyone to do this to himself with a drone. Can you elaborate on this in a new topic in the Off Topic section?
I really hope it's obvious enough.

Certainly not architect
It goes to show many people have no idea what RC flying really is. Would you ever have taken to the skies if there weren't selfie drones? Don't think so. If you think you're flying RC with an Air, (or a Pro) well..... But you said it yourself, half a brain and two thumbs and one immediately wants to be one of the big boys. You can't become an RC pilot in just a couple of weeks. Lot of stick time with various crafts of various sizes standing next to a licensed club instructor does the job.
And I certainly will never say that everyone who thinks different is a fanboy. Hate that word. BIG NO!.
I hate calling names anyhow. It shows lack of decency, intelligence and respect in general. And you show everybody you're on the losing side of the argument which is, with all respect, pathetic.
I respect every flyer by default. Until he proves to be not worthy of my respect. Most of them actually have a great attitude and take well meant advice from guys who know stuff. And I really wish them nothing but all the best with their Air. Nothing wrong with having a lot of fun with it.
I fly RC helis and fixed wings for over 40 years and have a certification for commercial flying with 25Kg rotorcraft (heli and drones) and I graduated pretty much because of this experience, at the age of 59. Anyone can call me an old man (see if I care) but I dare you to fly a 20Kg Heli (have you even ever seen one that big?) and keep your pants dry.
Now that's some of the real RC flying I'm talking about.
I have an official flight crew document and a medical attest with me at all times, as well as my 120 page thick operational manual. And I confess, to me it's not a hobby anymore. The pro side of the regulations hinder feeling the passion I once had. But filming with the Pro is still fun, the flying part is actually a bit boring
That being said...I work the same controls, to operate the same Flight control surfaces that make my rc fly the same as a full scale plane...When I fly my Cessna 172 as a "HOBBY" am I any less a pilot...licensed by the faa to fly both...only difference between the two is the size...same knowledge and skill set required for both...just saying
Now that would really be sad wouldn't it? But I finally start to understand you now, I guess.
No we're not. In fact, when I did my PPL exam in '93 you were still crawling over the floor with your action figures (there's no shame in that, I did too at that age).
Why getting so personal? You really don't know anything about me. You have no idea. You wouldn't even comprehend so it seems, even if I showed you in slo motion with subtitles.
