Hello folks!

Given that we haven’t had a Free Talk Friday thread in the last time, I now take it upon myself to post our Off-topic thread for the weekend. I always enjoyed reading these threads so I don’t want this tradition to die.

Here you can post:

  • what’s currently happening in your life
  • what you’re currently reading, watching or listening to (book, movie and music recommendations)
  • Any cool projects you’re working on atm
  • Jokes, Memes and other funny stuff not fitting elsewhere.

So, I hope everyone has fun over here. Stay safe, stay healthy! ✌🏻

    It’s a great hobby, isn’t it? Wood, adhesive, engines, motors, electronics, linkages, radios… and that’s all before you even go flying!

      And the flying inevitably results in fixing wood, adhesive, engines, motors, etc. :)

      I mostly fly FPV quadcopters and thermal gliders, but I live in one of the most regulated air spaces on the planet. The latest set of FAA restrictions have taken all the fun out of it for me.

        Oh man, don’t even get me started on that stuff. It’s horrible. I live within 5 miles of an airport so I couldn’t fly here (legally) if I wanted to. I do all of my flying at an AMA club. Since having a kid a year ago I’ve only been out there a few times.
