    Air hogs UAV

    >Jet Propeller-driven. Anyway, I got something similar. It\'s a SilverLit R/C Bi-Wing. No ailerons/elevons, just propspeed-shift manoeuvring, pretty light and charges fast. Depending on windspeed it can fly veryy well or just sit hovering in the same position for as as long as two minutes. I\'m thinking of adding landing gear, maybe even more propellors. Out of interest, would glueing the two spare propellers onto the existing ones to make, effectively, a four blade propeller, make the plane fly faster?
  2. On Windows 95\'s Excel, if you put a certain formula into a certain cell, it would bring up a flight simulator.
  3. I do hope you won\'t be leading the soldiery up and down hills. The Duke was horrid enough. It is quite a magnificent wonder his decision skills ever allowed his appointment as leader of an army.
  4. You want bipedal cats? There are about 5000 of them in my webcomic [obviously, you won\'t see them all.] Here\'s the one that\'s a main character. Image below is the one I said I had drawn earlier, only coloured in.
  5. As I said, \'eventually you get good enough to draw what you imagine\'. Keep practising. Work on keeping images in your imagination. Work on improvisation. Also work on hybridisation of the two. I just drew a fanart of Kat from TwoKinds, in which she is doing a Victory sign gesture, and is standing in front of a blue background with stars popping and a rainbow going across it. As you may have guessed by now, it\'s called \'Nya Kat\'. To draw it, I drew her hand first. I looked at my hand whilst doing a V-sign, and drew it from that. Then I added a paw pad and Keidran nails to the ends of the fingers. Then I added the arm. This part came from my imagination, as I wasn\'t looking at any images of Kat that looked like that. Then I drew her torso, then neck, then head. Most of the head was drawn whilst looking at images of her - but her head is facing the other direction to where it is facing in the images, so I drew the hair and such accordingly - using my imagination to work out where they would go. The mouth I imagined and drew. I removed the protruding teeth when I saw Kat has no protruding teeth. I added the openings to her ears, which either wasn\'t shown in the images or shown further up. Then I looked at my hands doing the V-sign again and realised I had drawn the hand the wrong way round. I redrew it. Then I drew the background, which was pretty much from memory of the Nyan Cat background, and then drawing a 7-colour rainbow. And then I scanned it in. It\'ll be up soon.
  6. Until recently, I couldn\'t draw living things. I taught myself everything I know about art. Its basically looking at things, then drawing them. Eventually, you get good enough to draw something you imagined.
  7. The other day, in Physics, I drew one of the cats from the Eddsworld animation MovieMakers on a worksheet. I wrote \'SPAAAAAACE CAAAAATS\' next to it. I showed it to the people behind me. Then Emma Huskey shouted 'Space cats!' at the top of her voice. Ms Swinney glared at her, and for the rest of the lesson everyone just couldn\'t stop saying \'space cats\' to embarrass Emma. Today, in English, I drew an idea for a cool-looking private jet in my planner. This was because Samantha Calvey said that when she has a successful corporation, she will let me design her private jet. Which is nice of her. Anyway, so then I drew a cat in a spacesuit on the page before it. I showed it to Toby, who sits next to me. He thought it was amusing. Then I started adding details to the spacesuit, and wrote \'SPACE CATS\' on it. I held my planner up and I showed it to Emma. She thought it looked cool. Mary-Anne and Nick Brooks saw it too. I tore the picture out of my planner and gave it to Emma to keep. Backstory point: This was my second-last day at St.Bede\'s School. A lot of people are getting other people to sign their yearbooks. For the rest of the lesson, I drew no less than six more Space Cats, each in a different person\'s yearbook. Here\'s one I made just now. They have varying levels of background art. One of them has the Space Cat sitting on a gantry with an entire launchpad in the background, including spacecraft. Another has a ball of string floating around. Most of them don\'t have a background. Mary-Anne wanted one that was dead to match her Drop Dead Clothing bag which has a dead cat as a logo on it. So I drew it wiith a smashed helmet, and an ariel with \'SOS\' repeated next to it. Each of the spacesuits were slightly different.
  8. That\'s what I\'m saying, innit bruv? And other such chav words.
  9. That is awesome. The engine arrangement looks cool too.
  10. I\'m now trying to imagine you all playing this game in South London. For more than five minutes.
  11. I know, but the mods don\'t like conversations spreading outside of designated threads. Take MLP as an example.
  12. Wasn\'t there a thread already about what Americans claim to have invented and who actually invented it? In which case - [/conversation]
  13. (Rule 0: Swearing/sexually evocative language is for the inarticulate) Rule 18: Do not investigate Munoliths. They have eyes.
  14. (You do realise that Americans have the advantage because most of them only think they know what British people speak like through British characters in movies speaking only with received pronunciation or cockney dialect?)
  15. Rule 15: Muon Detectors should not be confused with cheat parts.
  16. 11: Thou shalt not surpass Tim_Barrett in spaceplane construction.

    Spore!

    I have Spore. Cell stage - boring, but would make a good Smart Phone game. Creature stage - takes way too long. Again, boring. Tribal stage - Like Civ stage only more boring. Civilisation stage - This is the stage I like most. Whilst I wish you could actually build cities like in Real Life rather than just jacking other factions\' cities, the strategy involved is fun. I like building HSD land/water/aircraft, so that I can use them here. I also never do the speedercar>disband>slowtank tactic, because I\'d prefer my vehicles be balanced. Makes it that much more interesting, like raising the difficulty level by some. Space stage - Has potential, but there\'s no actual space travel, and you can\'t have space dogfights. Plus, it crashes all of the time, and there is no autosave feature. That problem has lost me many strong alliances and huuuge... tracts \'o\' land.
  18. You are now leaving Sanity. Please drive carefully.
  19. I don\'t get into these situations, despite having an infuriatingly annoying younger sister. I\'m presuming your sister is older. Now, here\'s a guide on how to do it right, with some backstory situations. I have and do use violence to get might point across to my sister because often, usually in the car, she doesn\'t listen when I tell her to stop doing something or to shut up. If this seems harsh, think - have you ever been stuck in a car for an hour with a girl who eats an easter egg from her bare hands, gets her hands covered in melted chocolate, licks her hands all over, and tries to rub her hands all over everything including your own laptop? She has done this both subconsciously and deliberately. Arguments with my sister either end with me hitting her hard enough, her finally seeing reason, or my parents breaking it up. In the case of the last one, it usually doesn\'t stop her for more than five minutes. The second one happens only rarely. The first one ends with my parents asking me why I hurt her. This is the important part. I then explain to my parents calmly exactly what my sister was doing at the time, why violence was justified [AKA \'I did warn her repeatedly\'], and then mention that she wouldn\'t listen when my parents told her to stop whatever she was doing. This immediately brings my parents onto my side against my sister. Threats of \'you\'ll go to bed early\' from my parents do usually resolve the situation, if I remind my sister of that every so often. I\'m not saying any of this will work for you. But shouting won\'t help, turning music on will annoy them. Listen to music through headphones if you feel like it, but a lot of parents will resent noise pollution after an argument. If you give them a headache, there will be no middle ground for you to stand on. Your example reminds me of the arguments my sister and I have over ice creams. I choose Rolo cornettos, my sister chooses Nobbly Bobbly lollies. My sister proceeds to eat three of the four Rolo cornettos, leaving all the Nobbly Bobblys. The argument I would present to my parents is that if my sister wanted Rolo cornettos, then that is what she should have chosen. Make it your rival\'s fault. I don\'t want to be left with the Nobbly Bobblys, so I have to make a point. Then my parents can ensure my sister has, at most, half of the Rolos, and that she has her fair share of the Nobbly Bobblys rather than leaving them all. Problem solved, no need to shout. In summary - Stay calm, resort to violence only to bring an end to an argument, ensure you have just cause for said violence [drink theft is annoying but not in this case valid - however, my sister\'s personal hygiene failure would be], and if it was your sister\'s fault, make sure you have something to say that will persuade your parents of that fact.
  20. The cat is supposed to be creepy. Adorableness is a side effect of its simply being feline. I thought that since cats were worshipped by Egyptians, that would be a good place to start with a naming convention. Especially since she considers herself so far above Humans. [Though that applies to most cats anyway. She just has a big enough brain to apply it.]
