It’s built out of Dollar Tree foamboard, hot glue, some 1/32″ plywood, and packing tape. I chose to build the 150% version, which made the build a bit more difficult. Using cheaper and flimsier foam didn’t help matters either, but it turned out pretty well.

I’m running a Turnigy D2826 brushless motor, a Turnigy 2200mAh 40C 3 cell LiPo battery, a 40 amp Grayson Hobby ESC, and an 8×4 prop.

Notice the ITF url and image!

It flies really well.

Here’s a compilation of a few video clips of it in the air. I have flown it off of water, but I don’t have any footage of that yet.

After a lot of fussing and screaming (from Josh):

Well worth it!

The recipe made absolutely no sense to me, so I re-wrote it with the help of my Mom. Women seemed to have no problem making sense of it, but it was way to vague for me. It was basically “cut up some vegetables, boil, and can.” I need more specifics than that. Anyway, here it is.

Ina’s Vegetable Soup

10 lbs hamburger
1 1/2 gal. beef broth
3 qt. diced potatoes
4 large onions diced
2 lbs 10 oz lima beans
2 lbs barley
1 1/2 gal. tomato juice
1 gal. diced carrots
1 1/2 bunches celery
2 lbs peas
1 qt green beans, cut up
2 lbs alphabet macaroni
2 qt corn

Cook hamburger with seasoning, drain. Parboil each vegetable separately, with salt. Drain vegetables and mix together all ingredients in a giant cauldron (alphabet macaroni can be added uncooked). Add more seasoning if desired (salt, onion salt, celery salt, bouillon, pepper, etc.).

Ladle into canning jars and process in pressure cooker at 10 lbs for 90 minutes (quart jars). It could be frozen instead if you prefer.

To serve, add 1 quart of either tomato soup, tomato juice, or beef/chicken broth to 1 quart of soup. Add more seasoning if needed.

Makes approximately 35 quarts.

Note: If you don’t have a giant cauldron, sterilize a big plastic tote and use that.

I’m refusing to cut my hair in support of my son, who desperately needs a haircut but can’t get one because his Mother won’t allow it.

He made apple crisp, it was excellent.

Here’s a pdf if you prefer.

I ranted before about this when I discussed the long-overdue Auto Advance Lab.  I can’t believe it took this long, but finally pretty much all significant drawbacks to using Gmail have been removed.
