(Technicians think that is a really funny joke, Kent ;D) An engineer may design it but, a technician actually has to make it work. ;D ;D ;D no offense to Kent ;D |

Then I'm actually more of a technician than an engineer, as I have to make my own stuff work! And it sometimes takes a lot longer to make it work than to design it in the first place!!
But after stuff is released to the world, it is the techs who keep everything rolling along!
Techs are very important!

But after stuff is released to the world, it is the techs who keep everything rolling along! Techs are very important! Kent Okay, Damit, I confess. I have respect for engineers (or at least the ones who are not self-absorbed, condescending a-hos ;D). I've worked directly with a lot of them over the past 10 years and we make a pretty good team. I love working the bugs out of new stuff, though. Seems like you can design, test, prototype and pilot all you want. When it rolls off the assembly line a surprise issue will develop. BTW, human error is the most difficult thing to troubleshoot, because it usually makes no sense at all. I work with a project that was designed to train real world techs to do quality assurance audits at assembly plants. The engineers and factory QT guys taught us their end and we brought with us our own real world perspective. We were able to foresee issues that the factory normally didn't think about. Makes an excellent combination. Throw an accountant in there and show him/her the drastic drop in 90 day out warranty and you have a friend for life ;D Now that I got that out of my system, back to the engineer jokes ;D ;D Oh, and to keep on heli topic, too windy to fly for the past week. No more packs for at least a day or two. |

Dude, 3 packs? You're as bad as me. I only have 2 chargers so that's 3 hours of charge time. I can usually get 6 flights in a day, if the wind allows.
You're hardcore BT! 21 packs is my new goal!

Hey Gabe. You have to remember it was a long weekend, too. Memorial Day. I did 6 a day. I could do nine a day if I pressed it a little, but that would cause me to have to do something drastic like set an alarm clock on a weekend. Ain't happenin' I figure I will get a certain number of charges per pack whether I have 3 or 30. Since I can only charge so fast with my one 5amp, might as well wear out the 3 and buy more later. ;D |
