    Another Action Camera Mounting Question

    We do it regularly. Although, we do have a video of a belly-mounted camera that takes a rock right in the lens on landing.

    Alligator Eats Drone (and ignites the battery pack)

    Top of the food chain in most places (ignoring people). Not enough time for an evolutionary change to develop a spit-it-out response.

    Those burn like molten lava and burn for a really long time.

    Alligator Eats Drone (and ignites the battery pack)

    No such thing with LiPo batteries. They burn like a China Syndrome meltdown. I didn't read the article but I'm guessing it would burn him practically in two. But now that I think about it, I believe oxygen is a required part of the equation. Maybe inside his body, little to no oxygen. Well crap...

    Leaded gas and the EPA...here it comes

    Leaded gas and the EPA...here it comes

    I'd argue that leaded avgas would be on its way out regardless of environmental considerations. It's a boutique fuel, and probably not a big money-maker in the grand scheme of things. It's days are numbered.

    Leaded gas and the EPA...here it comes

    This move away from leaded gas is a long time coming. Industry has been working on alternatives for well over ten years. The additive, tetraethyl lead, has been in short supply for a long time.
