<SubStack> use GumbyBRAIN
<infi> GumbyBRAIN: MOAR MAGIC
<GumbyBRAIN> Why am i the only one who seemed to me like the magic that represents a substr() loop.
<SubStack> substr() loop it is
<Daveman> holy shit
<Daveman> 259 :o
<Daveman> Yes?
<tybalt89> hi Daveman
<Daveman> Hi :)
<tybalt89> or --- ouch!
<Daveman> Tybalt, about what speed do you usually fly at?
<Daveman> :p
<Daveman> or around
<tybalt89> Daveman: my eletric plane: 0 - 20mph maybe
<tybalt89> Daveman: most trainers fly about 30-40
<Caelum> how can you fly at that low a speed?
<tybalt89> Daveman: there's a couple of guys at the field with Quickie500's, they're going about 130mph
<Daveman> yeah, okay
<Daveman> was wondering about that ;)
<tybalt89> Caelum: http://home.pacbell.net/rklement/banchee1.jpg zero ground speed (into a slight head wind)
<Daveman> just watched this guy accel an rc glider from 0 to ~260, just from thermal looping :O
<tybalt89> Daveman: national class quickies do about 170mph, turbine powwered planes well over 200mph
<Daveman> I was amazed at the control they had over it, at that speed :P
<tybalt89> Daveman: some RC gliders are very fast because they're so clean.
<Daveman> heh
<Daveman> yeah
<Daveman> bye dazjorz :p
<dazjorz> }daveman
<DazNET> dazjorz > daveman
<dazjorz> :)
<Daveman> -_-
<dazjorz> bye Daveman :)
<Daveman> heh, tybalt, do allow rockets where you fly? :P
<tybalt89> RC speed record used to held by a glider, now it's a turbine at 278mph (as of a couple of years ago)
<Daveman> wow
<Daveman> heh, not bad ;p
<tybalt89> Daveman: though there have been a couple rockets, basically no.
<Daveman> :\
<Daveman> Whatever, I am constantly disappointed by that...
<cfedde> http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8185503357916397815&q=type%3Agpick this one is kinda fun.
<shorten> cfedde's url is at http://xrl.us/u3ew
<Daveman> So, unsupriring.
<tybalt89> Daveman: there is a rocket club that launches from some college in Cupertino, I think
<cfedde> boost gliders look like a neat combination of toys.
<Daveman> tybalt, yeah, but I'm so dismayed at the lack of places to launch on the east coast :[
<Daveman> basically, the only place which I've been which was nice, was NM :P
<cfedde> Daveman: there has to be a local RAR chapter.
<tybalt89> Daveman: check at hobby shops, they will know where...
<Daveman> but I can't exactly just take a short drive to get there, whenever I want :p
<Daveman> tybalt, yeah and it's usually 1-2 per or out of state.
