The way I look at it...if you own a home with some equity and are up for a refi...you are pretty much retarded if you don't do it NOW! You refinance your house with a better rate, finance the difference of the solar panels in your new home loan and BAM no more electric bill. Nothing out of your...

I know a couple of the Reps from Solartek Solutions if you haven't gotten in touch with them already. The financing is the real innovation these days as everyone sells pretty much comparable PV tech. Being able to transform the electric bill into the payment for the cells is awesome. Let me know...

If I went on a tour of Africa and they made me ride in that thing I would be pissed! "Where's the Rover/Landcruiser at?"

I never pay full retail as there are plenty of places to get good deals on barely used phones. If you have your eye on a phone, chances are it's on KSL at a steeply discounted price. A lot of people use their upgrades to buy new phones only to keep their old phones and sell the new phone at a...

The RHD is not a big deal...I got used to shifting after about 30 seconds. The hardest part really is the turn signals because they're on the other side of the steering column. RHD would not keep me from buying one which will probably happen later this year!

I do all my video editing with the free gopro editing software called Cineform...it is easy to understand and easy to use. It is far less powerful than Premier Elements which I am learning right now but it will do all the things you originally requested.

I'll be down there probably sunday to sunday. I have a couple aerial filming gigs but wouldn't mind filming on some of the trails with you guys. Any RME'rs wanna get some filming on? Bring your gopros and the like! I am not registered and won't even try to be so filming around the safari...

Another one from today...PERFECT conditions! http://youtu.be/IUdYOnzWbFg

Nobody cares. It is of course important to "tread lightly". I don't buzz around windows of houses, I don't harass pedestrians, I try to keep away from crowds where I don't have a good exit strategy to land the craft away from crowds. These things could really hurt someone if it flew into a...

And another one flying around SLC http://youtu.be/k38tQ0s-3JE

A couple of my bloopers from the past few days...none of which I saw as the video feed dropped out. Didn't seem them until reviewing the footage later! http://youtu.be/bDsiCFeVkqE

OOOF....yeah those crashes hurt! Get some circularly polarized antennae or clover leafs. Remember that the video signal is pretty much line of sight so if you go over a bluff you're done. Crank up on the altitude and hit the failsafe so it will come back. Whatever altitude you are at above like...

Yep, through the iOSD mini, into the transmitter then into the fatsharks. I'm finding my favorite settings for the gopro so I can judge distances somewhat...it's nerve wracking! Fun though!

Learning obstacle avoidance and flying some cool stuff! http://youtu.be/9OHS7SaMUlo

The phantom is a lot easier to fly in theory. It is fast, nimble, and expensive to repair if you yardsale it but you will be pleased with it! Keep it in phantom mode before you switch to Naza mode so you can get used to how it feels. Once you are in naza mode DO NOT EVER enable full manual...

I got the fatshark attitude v2 with the DJI iOSD so I can have telemetry displayed. I used the 250mw transmitter that came in the attitude kit and soldered everything together. I have done a couple flights to get used to the FPV...you have to be really careful as you can't tell how far away you...

I think they should leave them such as they pulled them out of the hole! It's a great story, they won't deteriorate further, and it's a reminder of how fleeting toys are. Here's a good gallery of them on display in the museum. http://imgur.com/a/Jxa8o

*hillbilly voice*HEY BOYZ Let's go fishin' for 'vettes! YEEEE HAWWWWWW *hillbilly voice* I still think this is hilarious!

I tend to not worry about things I cannot control or prepare for although I've been thinking about that snorkel a lot lately...

It sounds like the place is streamlining their operation. A little fat trimming is good. I'm betting a lot of these planes are unrestored back lot pieces that other museums would be able to restore and curate. As long as that SR-71 stays put I couldn't care less about any other plane. I was left...
