I’ve been dabbling in R/C planes lately and while the plane I bought I’ve only flown a few times, I guess it’s a new hobby. Problem is the plane I have is hard to fly if the winds are over about 5 mph, and I try to fly when there is no wind at all. So flying days are few and far between. So I bought this. Basically a USB R/C plane controller that comes with an open source R/C simulator program. Seems to help a lot with orientation, which is good since some of the controls are reversed when the plane is flying towards you. Lots of extra planes for download on the net if you search google. FMS can be downloaded for free and used with the keyboard for controls, I found that very hard though.

I’ve been busy, not really in a blogging mood either. Not to mention both my PC and Laptop died. The hard drive quit in my PC, luckily I had most stuff backed up, lost a lot of pics though. Well, I don’t know if I lost them, it’s just how much would I pay to get them back, I’ve heard of services that will retrieve data from corrupted hard drives. My laptop still boots up but the USB, keyboard, and touch pad all stopped working, so even though I can see the screen I can’t do anything. It may be fixable but I haven’t messed with it much, the aforementioned PC problems still got me bummed, and I don’t feel like messing with it. So I’ll try to blog more often despite the set backs.
