  • Bernanke is driving the economy as well as anyone could do under the circumstances but he gets it from both sides. Liberals want to step on the gas while the right wants to slam on the brakes.

  • Utilizing Human Resources effictively will achieve sound fiscal policy

    As well as quality of living rating as well

  • Bernanke worries me. Though he is a banker and obviously not too worried about being broke or suffering from all the things that the typical Joe has to deal with now a days, but the shaky voice and fear that i in his eyes is no optimistic sign for what is to come. I will lay back and wait to see what unfolds in the future. . .

    I wish you well. You are part of the productive segment of society.

    If you have time, here's a documentary you might like you to watch to learn more about the Federal Reserve and the fraud behind the paper money system it setup. I promise you if you watch it and understand it, it will change your view. It certainly did for me. v=bhMacPvc5qc 

    Bye!

  • @orangedac My issue with a blimp is I do videos for several ski areas and the wind has the potential to pick up suddenly. I did consider it though.

    As for the controls, I was planning on doing a quad rotor to learn and use one of my GoPros, and then switch to an octocopter later for heavy lift stuff. You don't have to do any controls with a quadrotor. The only moving parts are the 4 blades themselves, and all the other controls are purely electronic. They are amazingly simple.

  • @v12tommy

    how about using a slow moving miniture blimp filled with helium. fans can control its direction. should be easier to build & control than rotors - at least until the wind starts to pick up. And it probably more stable. Only question is how do you get the thing down. Perhaps attach a string to it and just pull it down gently like a kite.

    you are underestimating the controls needed for rotors. its not just the case of spinning the blades. Pitch, yaw, roll is hard.

  • @orangedac I am definitely a bit worried about vibration, but not too much. Every year I have 2 friends with 4 Indy cars that I run cameras on, and they are huge on vibration. I do the Pikes Peak hill climb every year too, and have the same issue. (it actually removed the paint off my camera) Having multiple rotors, they will counteract eachother enough that all you would really need to do is rubber mount the camera and you will be good to go. At least that is the case for GoPro cameras anyway.

  • @orangedac I plan on getting some FPV equipment. I did some full size helicopter lessons, and by the end of my first lesson I was already hovering without assistance. I've always been very handy as a driver, so it just comes natural I guess. As for the heli, I plan on building a quadrotor to start, and it only has 4 moving parts and the rest is electronics, which is my strong suit, so I shouldn't have any issues there. I definitely want to fly waypoints though.

  • @v12tommy

    I doubt if building a flight stable and controllable rotorary aircraft is as simple as you think. you can get an off the shelf r/c aircraft with some smarts in it for not much $. even so vibration might be an issue if you are taking video footage as opposed to a picture.

    At the more sophisticated end of things, look into GPS to automatically fly to waypoints so you don't have to micromanage the flight with the controls.

  • @orangedac I'm definitely considering an r/c heli as well, although there are proposed laws pending that would limit r/c aircraft to only 400 ft AGL, and that wouldn't work for me. For some things I could get away with it, but a large portion of my winter business is working with ski areas, and it would be impossible to get any good footage if I have to hug the mountain like that. For terrain park footage I do plan on designing and building my own quadrotor though. It is super easy to do.
