@ubermeisters.bsky.social: I've been emailing the folks that make the F-16 and found out that its empty rudder channel works because it's the same mix at the Mirage which has elevons and rudder. So I could hook the rudder channel to my FPV camera but I'd have to fly the F-16 on manual without gyros.

Christians have a name for disembodied coercive intelligences... 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘴! 🫣 So this may be a hard call since Jesus exorcised demons as a side gig of his ministry. 💁

Seems like genuinely good news from the Gulf today. Fingers and toes crossed that it holds.

The orange demagogue's regime are a bunch of extremists even when it comes to numbers!🙄 They are just following the orange demagogue's example of continuously and falsely increasing or decreasing numbers to further their fictitious narrative.🙅 It's literally pounding a square peg into a round hole!💁

Avoided like the Bubonic Plague they are!

The collapse of the gulf stream will be catastrophic for the entire planet. The crisis in the earth's circulation system continues to be ignored while politicians promote massive oil/gas expansion. We are killing our children's future. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Also, to be clear, Trans Day of Visibility is always on March 31. It's Easter that moves around.

The growing robotic ground presence in Ukraine represents a new trend in a war that has become synonymous with drones.

Hungary just elected a new PM who wasted zero time — he shut down state propaganda, called out the corrupt officials by name, and started the reckoning on day one. It made me want to write down exactly what that should look like here. So I did. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Meanwhile in Canada🟥🍁🟥 'It's time to get serious' Mark Carney Prime Minister Mark Carney says he will use his newly won majority to push through legislation that the opposition parties have stymied in recent years. PM says immediate focus will be on passing affordability, home construction measures.

Our focus in on defending our border but democracy is quietly being chipped away at daily in our provincial legislatures. Lisa Blackburn and I discuss how Canadians can step up to defend democracy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=njWk...

Russia's prince harming doesn't 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 friends, just useful minions and a conveniently placed window when they're usefulness has expired! 🤣

The orange demagogue simply doesn't care about his 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦 base (if he ever did) because he'll never need their vote again to stay in power. His minions are concocting 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 plans for doing that. 😉

I prefer Ben Franklin's take on the subject. 🙇 "We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately".

I built several snake-proof bluebird houses around my property a couple of years ago. Today, the first bluebirds of spring hatched.

Canada has just America proofed its government by winning 2 out of 3 byelections giving Canny Mark Carney and his Liberal Party a majority in Parliament until 2029, long after the orange demagogue is out of power... one way or another! Expect more Conservative Party MPs to 'cross the floor' soon. 🧐

There were 3 byelections in Canada today. With 'floor crossings' of MPs to the Liberal Party in recent months they only need to win 𝘰𝘯𝘦 byelection to achieve a majority in Parliament. This would give Canny Mark Carney a mandate to govern until another election must be called in 2029. #SlavaKanadi🟥🍁🟥

Hungarians can be proud of the fact that 80% of them voted! 🙇 That puts most liberal democracies to shame except for maybe Australia which has mandatory voting. 🧐 AI concurs! 😲

Why are American politicians so afraid to 'cross the floor' to another party? 🤷 Oh yeah, they only have 𝘰𝘯𝘦 party to cross the floor to unless they become untethered 'independents'. 🤦

Canada is 𝘴𝘰 done with America! In fact Canada is considering Swedish Gripen fighters over America's F-35! Why? Data centers! Sweden offered to build a data centre 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘥𝘢 to store and manage Gripen fleet data. F-35 fleet data would be housed in America. So what if its leader gets mad at us again?

That and the real thing are a safety hazard! 🙄

Canada is considering buying Sweden's Gripen fighter jets over America's F-35. A selling feature is Sweden will include a Canadian data centre to manage the fleet unlike America which only offers F-35 data services located in America. Can Canada trust America if its leader just gets mad at us again?

Not only that, he'll beg to be made 'pART of the deal'. 😏

🛫 FPV F-16 Flying Update 🛬 I had an 'out of the box' thought as I was literally looking 𝘪𝘯 a box for LC filters. 🤯 I found a drone AIO flight controller I was going to put in one of my planes. It has an RC receiver, VTX, OSD, 4 motor escapes and is GPS compatible. All I 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 is the VTX & OSD but...👇

#Space #NASA #SpaceCoast Here's my amateur smartphone video of this morning's #SpaceX #Falcon9 launch -- and landing! -- at Cape Canaveral. Be sure to wait until the end for the twin sonic booms. It takes a while for the sound to arrive. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7obY...

A successful splashdown brings an end to the first space mission in more than half a century to send humans around the moon, and NASA's administrator says Artemis 2 is "just the beginning." www.geekwire.com/2026/artemis...

I'm struck by the number of modes of transit these astronauts will experience today. 1. Slicing through the Earth's atmosphere in a spaceship 2. An inflatable raft 3. A rope swing 4. Helicopter 5 Aircraft carrier 6. Airplane. 7. Van.

The #Artemis II crew capsule Integrity’s side hatch is open and recovery crew are going in to assess the astronauts and (hopefully soon) pull them out

Saw a reel making fun of people who were expressing skepticism of the #Artemis II images in Instagram comments and while it's true that a lot of folks are just spreading conspiracy theories, there are misconceptions that can just be addressed directly! 1/🧵

🧵🛫FPV Flying Update🛬 I've always wanted a FPV RC Electric Ducted Fan (EDF) plane to fly around. So I went online for the umpteenth time to see if I could find an EDF motor small enough for the scale of plane I like to fly. I found a 30mm (1.2in) EDF motor and when I went to their site I saw this!👇

I finally got around to doing a static thrust test of my new MinimumRC F-16. A static test won't give a true reflection of the plane's thrust in the air as airflow through the intakes will increase the EDF motor's thrust. At least I know the 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘮𝘶𝘮 is 55 grams of thrust! The F-16 weights 57 grams!😲
