Dio takes this round; one gear down,,,,

January 23, 2013 by diogenesoftherifle, posted in Uncategorized

And the housing/mount is next up.

But I have to wait for the weather to warm a tad first so that my casting sand will work properly.(and a ha’dozen other excuses I could come up with if I really got into it. Not really set up for casting as yet.)

Anyways, here is a short clip of things in motion today.

Yeah, I know, real interestin’: once you have seen 2 seconds, you have seen all 16 seconds. But that battle is over. Gear is cut, tested and lapped and now I have to work on the remaining parts for assembly into a working model. So, there will be more posts up on this. When I get to it that is. Other projects are taking precedence now and some of those won’t be discussed here as they are either too mundane, or OpSec issues.

May be another post up today after I do some catching up on the nets. Voodoo is going to want that walk in the freezing cold woods soon and I need to get my mind set on that.

Laters.

  Soon. Still some stuff to add to the shop (like another section that is being built) and some more skill development in threading. I haven’t done an internal thread yet. Besides, a lifetime to learn a millennium to master comes to mind.

  Crash and burn a lot, but if you don’t, I don’t think you can truly appreciate success as well.

WINGS OF CHANGE

What happens when a wounded veteran, a computer genius, and a handful of fiercely independent misfits decide that the best way to change the world is to stop waiting for someone else to do it?

G has spent years flying from a wheelchair, learning to make the sky obey him even when his body won’t. T is a computer wizard with a mysterious past, an enormous extended family, and a talent for turning impossible ideas into working machines.

Together, they build things that shouldn’t exist.

Aircraft that push the limits of what remote flight can do. Technology born in garages and workshops instead of corporate boardrooms. And a community of people who have decided that family isn’t necessarily something you’re born into.

But building extraordinary machines attracts attention.

Soon G, T, and their growing family find themselves caught between government agencies, competing agendas, and people who would very much like to know exactly what they’re capable of. What began as tinkering and experimentation is becoming something far more consequential.

Because when you build something powerful enough to change the rules, eventually somebody comes looking for the keys.
