    "I think you would have really looked if your Drone got sucked up and away, Not so good then !! lol" Actually, if you could stream FPV from the drone as it was being sucked up, it would be an incredible video. It would cost a drone, though. Hmmm .... what's the cheapest drone that has really...

    A Curious Mystery

    Hi there, The "coincidence" error is something diagnosticians run into all the time, whether medical or electronic. That's the way the brain works. If you put on a piece of music, and then run something with fixed periodicity, like a metronome or the windshield wipers, most of the time you'll...
