What happens at 5,000' when your legs get tired?

[Flieger]

Hypoxia?

[slodave]

No! In relation to the human powered helicopter.

Oh, haha. They only lift off a foot at most and not for very long. Only a few have flown. Apparently Cal Poly was the first with a few seconds of flight. That was a single rotor. then a Japanese team made a balsawood one with 4 rotors on trusses for stability. They went higher and longer but then the thing broke. Now CP is making a 4 rotor one with carbon composites.

dinner tonight:



damn good, too.

[Flieger]

Here's the Cal Poly one:

[Flieger]

Hmm. Supposed to rain tomorrow night, Wednesday, and Friday here.

[slodave]

Figures.

[Flieger]

Yeah, just when I was getting used to the nice spring weather. Oh well, it keeps things green. And I will be driving back home on Friday anyway.

[Flieger]

Dave, when people do stuff downtown I assume that not everyone walks from their home to there, so where do they park? There aren't really any bike parking areas and the cars can only use meters. I never actually stop in downtown for the reason of parking and not wanting to ride down there. If I had a good reason I could ride but not just for looking for women.

[slodave]

We walked and drove. If it was to go to the CD store, probably drive and park on the street. Go drinking and we walked.

[Flieger]

OK. I don't like walking that far so I would ride. I never really feel like it on the weekday afternoons after class and when it will be getting dark soon.

Apparently this Thursday they are having a spiel for the public about the electric targa project but I'm not actually in that club so don't have any real motivation to go.

[Flieger]

Actually the real reason is I would be embarassed to be associated with it. And they don't have budget or tools to do the suspension. And the Formula Electric car is much more sophisticated.

[Flieger]

And with all that post-whorring I have overtaken Stick for the time being on the leaderboard. #12, baby

[slodave]

There you go.

[nynor]

wow.... the political stuff in PARF is really off the hook. it is only going to get worse as the year drags on.

Yep me too. And even more important is killing spiders and being a hand and foot warmer. My wife really needs me to keep her warm. Her hands feel like the cold hand of death in winter.

[Flieger]

That's sweet of you Glen.

It's good you started this competition, Dave. Thanks.

Hopefully next school year you can fly up in the spring or something and we can hang out.
