I'm getting into this First Person Video (aircraft) but I came across this video today - how cool....there's a part 3 there too.
Flip it to 1080p High Def..

Re: Geek gets the girl (R/C car FPV)

I've seen that guys other videos with that car and he loves that thing. Great idea. Now if I only had some spare cash... People don't like me flying my planes at them so it would have to be a car.
 
Re: Geek gets the girl (R/C car FPV)

Me thinks she doth trust complete strangers too much.

Heretofore and forthwith, since the beginning of women meeting strange talking creatures, have men been led astray. It is not without merit to think that the young woman thought, per chance, that relations might take place. Just like that.

And America wonders how it got where it is? If morality it absent in personal life, it will transfer to the professional life.

Neat technology, but sheesh. At least she didn't get hacked up and thrown in the ocean at night. I hope.

Re: Geek gets the girl (R/C car FPV)

Wow, super tricky way to get laid, and from an obvious clean one owner too!

I wished I could come up with such a neat way to bang a skank.
 
Re: Geek gets the girl (R/C car FPV)

OH NO YOU DONT! I will NOT get back into R/C again!

Pretty cool. I was sending cameras up in R/C planes and helicopters years ago, but that was just to view what was recorded post flight. Looks like this is a live video link. I wonder what the range is on the video setup.

I was taking a moral position, so I thought I'd sound all hoity toity and falsely proper.

The woman is clearly stupid and thinks with her flesh. To follow a robot car to some stranger's house after he mentions alcohol, makes me think "slut". Even if she was innocent in thought, she is still a complete moron for going to some stranger's place.

It's poorly raised people that behave like this. She's obviously not smart enough to be a rebel. After all, she's clearly a follower. Though what she follows is unknown and vapid. Clearly, with no defining logic to her chaotic and questionable corporal pursuits, she makes poor decisions. Like following robot cars to some stranger's house when he promises alcohol. Because that always ends well and not as a national news story.

Since such behavior is transactional, two must be present, at minimum. Society, behaving like a bunch of sex-crazed-money driven-ego fed-image manufacturing buffoons, is not just the personal life. It has a drastic effect on community. It opens the door to blackmail, politicking, debacles like MF Global, etc. It is repugnant to human dignity and makes people slaves of their every whim. When morality is gone, everything crumbles. Morality, chastity in thought and action, honor, personal integrity, et al. virtues of mankind's ability to achieve balance in life are integral to both business and personal.

Furthermore, such behaviors lead to a pressing burden on the American tax payer. Instead of building up society with ethical politics and business, encouraging understanding of the world without kowtowing to it, and staffing such an endeavor with properly raised and educated children, we get dumb chicks like in the video.

So, how does this have anything to do with the American tax payer? Well, despite her facade of hipness, she probably doesn't have much in the way of actual income unless she is a trust fund baby. It's fairly likely that such behavior often leads to pregnancy or STD's. Planned Parenthood, a California hotspot if there ever was one, would likely receive the young woman's patronage. There, she would take part in reduced cost "services" which are subsidized and/or outright paid for by... the American Tax Payer.

How much? Try a whistling out all $487.4 million of those tax dollars that the U.S. Government gave PP. That was from 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2010. Need some oxygen during your air break? That'll be subsidized too under other policies.

So, what all did they do with this money? Part of it went to helping perform 329,455 abortions. Statistically, only about 7% of abortions occur because of the claim of rape, incest, danger to the mother, immediate health concerns/life and death combined. The other ~93%? Elective. Murder for convenience. If we just go with 93% as being a standard percentage of elective abortions, we get ~306,393. Let's assume PP performs abortions, utilizing taxpayer money, of any amount, and does this 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

306,393/365= 839.43 abortions per day, with taxpayer money.
839.43/24= 34.976 abortions per hour.
34.976/60= .5829 abortions per minute, if standardized and done over a 24/7/365 year.

So, every 2 minutes, on average, 1.16 abortions, no, murders, occur out of convenience. Just mere irresponsibility, selfishness, fear; and we encourage this with participating in such behavior.

By the time one finishes watching this video, almost a full abortion will have taken place within the framework of these numbers:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMxK-YgwZZs

This behavior is being encouraged and subsidized by the U.S. Taxpayer.

To blame just this one stupid woman would be ignoring that society is the issue.

It would be ignoring the propeller like whir of the United States of America's moral compass spinning. How conceptually apropos that the devices we think are taking us higher are actually sinking us into depths of impending dark times.

Sadly, we are not original in our actions, nor shall we be unique in our fall.

ArcticLight, any links to FPV video systems you can provide? Looks like the camera on the Tonka truck was a GoPro, so I'm wondering how that interfaces to a wireless video transmitter.
 
Re: Geek gets the girl (R/C car FPV)

CS1983

I agree with you completely.
Some would say that you didn't have to watch he video.
I think that most of the members here rejoice at the prospect of meeting up with a willing skank like the one in the video.
Personally, I am a sex crazed maniac, but that is just between my wife and myself.
 
Re: Geek gets the girl (R/C car FPV)

Seems like it turned out okay thus far.

Arma- We've had enough interaction that I never thought otherwise. Who's to say I wasn't playing off of you while still saying how I felt about it?
laugh.gif


The video concept itself, the R/C, the FPV, etc, is great. Who knows, maybe it's a set up to draw attention on the beach.

The video, as presented, still disturbs me.

I saw behavior like this A LOT while living in Newport Beach, particularly Balboa Peninsula. It sounds all cool and awesome, until you really think about it.

That isn't to say I'm an innocent little school boy, or that I've never had my moments. I still do, though not in the capacity I once did.

It's a process.

One of the EOD teams we had assigned to our BN used to do something similar with their robot. They'd write a note with their "order" from the cooks, drive the bot into the chow hall on Brassfield-Mora, and hand the note to a cook with the arm. Meanwhile, we're all watching this on the little screen and laughing our asses off.

Who needs to walk anywhere for a cold gatorade and some chips when the bot brings it for you?

I suppose they could have driven it to the female CHU pad, but the camera might have broken. Those girls were rough in appearance.

Re: Geek gets the girl (R/C car FPV)

When I was on the beach last week I was flying my wing (think 120 mph screaming airplane that is just a wing) and I got some funny looks. A few people asked me about it. The general populous is basically clueless when it comes to anything R/C.

The GoPro has a modification where it can be used now, it has a SLIGHT delay so it's not good for aircraft but it's AWESOME for ground based - There are instructions at http://fpvlab.com on how to set it up.


I chose what a guy in Austria was using because he just set hte world record with it...

http://www.immersionrc.com/

And whomever asked about the range - Trappy just flew one from a mountain top 89km away....same setup I am going to use - ezUHF sy stem, 433 mhz. Vehicle has a dipole set of 1/4 wave antenna wh ile the TX has a half wave HAM antenna and the video uses a huge gain antenna - some of the guys have tracking since most of these aircraft now have micro-GPS devices (Including mine)


Go to FPVLAb.com and just start watching videoos and reading up - and be warned - it will cost as much as a good rifle setup LOL

What's wrong with that? The fact you see it once, twice a year on national news as you said but it probably happens 50,000 times a year.

She was NEVER in any danger, there were always people around. So let me make an assumption - she would not have crossed the street had all those people been there because the national news shows us the one or two gruesome murders and REALLY has opened the eyes of women everywhere. But for fun she took the chance of the blind date - and it worked out.

Relax, it had a happy outcome - they are still together.
 
Re: Geek gets the girl (R/C car FPV)

Sorry, Arctic. I installed a soap-box app on my firefox and now I wake up to diatribes in my history.

The concept is neat though. I'm following some leads from your flying thread on FPV because I think my dad would love it.

Gotta figure out the lowest cost without sacrificing performance.

Any reports on if learning to fly via FPV is easier than from the sidelines? I would think the FPV feedback would translate to finer motor control sooner than external view given the immediate visual feedback from the perspective of the aircraft.
 
Re: Geek gets the girl (R/C car FPV)

You need to be able to fly at all first off so you can get a feel for it. Though flying FPV isn't all that hard as long as you can understand what the sticks do and can learn how much input to give. Look up Eagle Tree for some FPV stuff. They have an F-16 HUD system and some other cool logging devices. You can look around here for some FPV stuff.

I've been flying R/C since 1992, many times a week for the firstfew years, Q500 racing after that, Helicopters....

I have flown FPV for a couple of yeas on the simulator, I have flown a real huey once, did ground school and have 2 hours of official flight time - I never pursued it due to the cost.

This is not tosay I will not make a mistake but I feel confident with jumping into a 120mph flying wing, considering my Q500 plane does almost 155mph..

I bought ezUHF 433mhz Rc Link - and the eZOSD with the eZCurrent Sensor....In fact I'm just getting ready to mount it all here:

Re: Geek gets the girl (R/C car FPV)

Thanks ArcticLight. I actually just came FROM R/C to long distance shooting.
smile.gif
But I was racing 1/8th scale nitro buggy (twice weekly), 1/10th scale electric buggy and truck, and have a few electric planes and a T-Rex or three sitting collecting dust now.

Got to a point where I was good with the ground racing, but tired of getting whipped by the occasional 9-year old.
smile.gif
I just got tired of crashing the helis.

Does your radio gear require an FCC license? You're definately operating outside the bands and above the power ranges set aside by the FCC for hobbyist unlicensed transmission, right?

That flying wing will do 120? From a prop? I figured you'd need an EDF propulsion system to get that kind of speed from an electric. AWESOME!
 
Re: Geek gets the girl (R/C car FPV)

Don't need any special license for FPV. Just write your check and go fly. Those wings will go super fast. I have a little epilog racer that does 140 mph on a 4.1x4.1 prop with a 24 inch wingspan on 4S. It hauls.

Here is 165 mph. Which is slow compared to some planes. The buzz those planes make off pusher props is addicting. my wing only does 120 ish out of a dive but sounds great.

Re: Geek gets the girl (R/C car FPV)

It'd be the FCC if anyone. They control the frequency broadcast ranges and require licenses for radio transmitters that broadcast ANY signal beyond 3km. ...but who cares...

I thought EDFs were fast! I've only been out of R/C for two years... electric planes were not that fast two years ago. Must be new multipole brushless motors, advanced electronic timing from the speed controls, and much higher mAh output Lipos.
