Got the new quad copter assembled.  First flight ended in a broken prop.  Second attempt ending after it was determined that the programming needs more tuning.

More cool plaques....

Making some plaques for a friend...  Many of them!  Turning out good so far.  Sand and seal next, maybe I will be done with these one day.  More work than I had anticipated.  Live and learn.

Quad copter

Well it seems that I have involved myself with another useless endeavor...  A quad copter!  This thing is super cool. Need to get some vibration issues sorted out and we will be flying.  maybe I can do some Ariel photography or something to turn this into a money making venture...
