    Mine was an "either / or" suggestion, BTW ~ it's not saving any money if you do both!!!
    Be glad to chat with you offline anytime you're interested!!

    BTW, I also blame Adam, but in my case it's for the laser sickness.
    There I was, asking some basic questions from a tent in Kuwait, and some dude named "buffo" chimes in and starts giving me all kinds of pointers and answers to questions I hadn't even thought to ask yet.

    I linked up with him at a laser gig in NC shortly after I returned stateside, and it's been pretty much downhill ever since...

    you guys better not get me hooked on these at selem!
    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    It has been interesting to see how the micro RC helis & quads have found a foothold at SELEM.
    They'been a part of that scene since at least '09, and seem to be a bigger part of the attraction every year!

    SELEM is going to need a bigger venue one of these days...

    I'm almost tempted to buy a few V222's and just bring them to SELEM for sale.

    Someone needs to get it over with and fly a mini projector under one of these. That would be interesting to see at SELEM.
    I'm happy to watch y'all fly 'em. After too many hobbies, I swore years ago that I would keep it only to lasers - even that is a bit over the top. I will admit that the prices are right - pretty impressive tech for what you spend.
