BUHOAR

February 10th, 2010 10 comments

Completed another “pos” plane and named her Buhoar, Big Ugly Hell On A Rail. The body or fuselage is literally an aluminum rail I bought at lowes for like 5 bucks, the wing and tail section are off of the old alpha trainer I crashed a while back then moved to the “gutter trainer” and crashed it as well, fairly stout wing and tail section I guess. Put an evolution 46 on it that I had layin around, got 1 more evolution 46 that needs a “pos” body as well.

RC Float Plane Crash

Just an old video I found. We were flying a test plane with quick, make shift floats, the floats created to much drag so we had to hand launch the plane. This launch went wrong…

Chiptunes

Music written in sound formats where all the sounds are synthesized in real-time by a computer or video game console sound chip. The “golden age” of chiptunes was the mid 1980s to early 1990s, when such sound chips were the most common method for creating music on computers. I loaded up a keygen the other day and one of the coolest little tunes was jammin in the background. I was wondering where people find these tunes when I discovered chiptunes.
