homefire 2,581 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) The federal government has shut down personal drones in some State Parks. Getting worried that we may out tech them? LOL Al Gore Did NOT invent the Internet lol! It all Started with Ham Radio using this thing called Packet Switching. They could use a Common channel and only people with the right codes could receive the msg. The sender just had to put a Address Header on the msg and Receivers end would pick the msg out of the hundreds being sent out. The Bit stream being sent out was continuous and your computer had to be on when the msg came by.. On Reception your end would send a ACK telling the repeater you got it and it would stop sending it.

jarrod 12 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 the super cub is a good one most local hobby shops have them and under 200 for every thing or the T28 trojan both are foam and easy to glue back together a few time's most hobby shops carry replacement parts as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Allen in MT 101 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Went to one of the RC events in Mesa and say some really big planes and jets. The one jet that stood out had over 30 grand into it. There is a big RC event just north of Bill's park I think in Feb of each year at raceway park. a great event to attend if you get the chance. Flyers come from all over the country. http://www.speedworldrcf.com/ Myself I have a RTF Blade 350QX that hold a Go Pro camera.
