He'll hate you more when the 600N get some air time.


Van is done and needs to be picked up. Thinking about placing a partial order for the charge case to nock out a few more things. After this purchase all I would need are the charger itself and the PC link cable, plus a few extras to complete the build. The extra stuff would be the velcro to attach everything to the case, a couple nice switches and acrylic deck lid.

My partial order would include the parallel charge board, cables for that and two cables that would attach the power source to the charger. Little by little its getting there.

Well, that was a bust. Apparently, an inch of snow in Oklahoma is enough to close down businesses. Went to get the red and white monokote for the Decathalon as well as the iron that I have misplaced and some wheels for the F4U, and there is a sign in the window. "Closed Saturday Due To Weather". What a load of crap. I was driving the speed limit the whole way, so it was not that bad. Ah well, maybe next weekend.

Due to rushing my project I now need a new piece of Lexan. I need to calm down a little on this project. I am excited to see it almost done.

Raspberry pi 2, xbmc and openelec almost fully setup. My TV is now a sudo smart TV. I have almost any program or movie I want right at my fingertips.

I thought about picking one of those up. But I figure, I have a Dell 2850 sitting here if I wanted to play with it. Or, I could run virtualization on my desktop or lappy. Still want one though, just can't justifly the cost lol.

I tried virtual box with it and it didn't work so well on the second monitor but worked fine on the main monitor. For wat it costs to buy you really can't beat it. For about 60 bucks you get a full fledged quad core computer with 8 gigs of storage.

As for connections you get 1 10/100 network port, 4 USB 2.0, 1 rca video out, 1 audio out and 1 HDMI. There are 40 io pins that can be programmed for what ever you want. It supports wireless via USB dongle.

For what you can do with it, it really can't be beat in price. You can run your own CCTV with it, media center, web server you name it.

FINALLY!!! After a month and a half of rain, snow, ice, salt and sand, I was able to wash my truck today, and the wife is washing her car. Yes, I should be washing it, but I turned wrong last night grilling some steaks and killed my ankle. Otherwise, I would have washed hers as well. But they are CLEAN :yahoo: (I just realized how long it's been since I have been able to use that smiley lmao)

And boy did I spend some money today! But it's going to all be worth is in the name of RCH Videos!!! I hope...

After almost 10 days my charger finally showed up. I won't blame this on PRC its the mail mans fault. No way a 2 day priority package should take week to get here.

All in all I am very happy that it did show up today. Pics to follow.

The last couple of days has been very interesting for me. First I am almost done with the charging case. All I have to do is cut new speaker holes and hook that stuff up and it will be done. I am going to add some LEDs at some point because the redesign of the case blocks a lot of the cold cathode tube.


My next big deal is some one wants to trade me an Align Dominator L 450 for my rekit Protos Mini. I really don't want to lose the case Protos because its a great kit but I can't pass on the deal either. Yeah its an Align but its one that is a lot closer to flying than the Protos. Plus the parts are dirt cheap in comparison. All I have to do is box up the frame and ship it. Since the boom is broke off it will fit nicely in a small box.

Sitting at work, bored out of my mind. Thanks to the price of a barrel of oil plummeting, all of our customers have stopped ordering. So, here I sit...

Received 1 of 3 boxes today. It's looking hopeful that I will get this quad in the air this weekend. Supposed to be beautiful. But, it's Oklahoma, things change fast. Can't wait for the other two boxes...
