It looks great, John. Neat, crisp and simple, the way a web experience should be. I've studied a bit of MVC site building, but haven't had a chance to implement what I've learned. Simple as it is, this inspires me to try something along the same lines, if for no better reason than to keep my finger in the water... Thanks for the encouragement!

What was the reason you used MVC for this type of site? It looks like a basic Asp.net/html site, nothing fancy, simple and clean. Are you planning on a lot of DB work, etc. in the future? Will users have accounts, etc?
Just curious if the technology was worth it. Perhaps it was, if you are going to scale in the future.

Aged 8 I got a model plane kit for Christmas.
Spent about two weeks building it then took it down to the local park to fly - filled it to the very brim with fuel.
Last seen heading towards Coventry.
As far as I know it is still going.

Brilliant. You gave me a chuckle

Nah, mine is still in the box. It's too cold to go outside.

Same with Estes rockets. As a kid I spent an entire Minnesota winter sanding and polishing a new missile. I was rewarded for all my efforts by how fast and true it's flight.
Never saw it again.

Been there. Was a very sad kid for a few days one summer.
Learned the hard way that the best rockets are the ones where you simply glue a nosecone and a couple of fins direcly to the engine.

Very much the same as what happened to the two I sent up into the air. Spent half a year for each of them and then it was overin minutes. I did not see it, but others told me they exploded.

When in High School, a gang in our class had a home alone New Year's party, but I'll say we were reasonably well behaved. For firing off the rockets, we set bottles firmly into the snow as a launch ramp and moved away to safe distance after the fuse was lit.
When I lit my biggest rocket, it went straight into the air, hit a 22 kV power line, bounced right back and made its grand explosion right in front of the neighbour's living room panorama window, where the couple were standing looking out. Their reaction was what I'd call 'noteworthy'.
I was very happy that they never demanded to know who was responsible for that rocket launch. And really: I didn't feel guilty. I had taken all standard precautions, and I certainly was not the one deciciding to run that power line right there.

Accidents do happen. They probably did not assume that the missile attack was on purpose.
The rockets I wrote about were a little bigger.[^] And what a bang they did make, not that I got to see anything because I was staring at a radar screen when they were on their way.

I once sent a homemade D20 bottle rocket through the eves of the house by accident/stupidity. Only took 2m to build up enough speed to punch out a perfectly round hole complete with nipple from the stick through the cement sheeting. 
We laughed about it till we cried the other day - enough years had passed that dad wouldn't get the look of death from mum for finding such a stupid act so funny.
I've still got the nearly 20 year old newspaper clips from when people thought our massively overpowered bottle-rockets were UFOs. You shouldv'e seen the way those endburners got up and boogied when the black powder ran out and the double-base shotgun reloading-powder started to provide the thrust!!

Hahaha - I've still got an Estes Executioner and pack of D12s waiting for assembly (for the past 5 years!)
I used to scratch-build both the motors and the airframes. I could start in the morning and fly in the arvo, as long as I'd rolled the motor tubes the day before and let em dry. The one time I made a 3 stage A-10 taking model, it kicked over sideways during the 1st --> 2nd stage separation. Last seen flying towards the unfinished houses at over 800kmh. 
It was soo worth it!

Was it one with the tiny Cox motors? Free flight models usually had very small motors and less than a minute of fuel, so that it does not get too far away.
As to your question:
1) I don't like multicopters.
2) I had a new T-Rex 500X under the tree, but it's not assembled yet.
3) The weather not good enough to go flying with my other helicopters.
3) I still have work to do on my Huey, so the bad weather was quite ok. At the moment I'm arming it.[^]
This is still a prototype, put together from test prints of the parts. I have designed the parts in Blender and printed them on my 3D printer. The camera is unvorgiving. I should use more sandpaper on the final version.

8 years old was a very long time ago but I do remember it disappeared in a manner that didn't give much hope of ever getting it back over some tall trees that edged the accessible park.

Not yet; mine is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow by lunch time; I pray it will survive long enough to video dinner being barbecued on the porch.

IS a CCC expected today? I was kind of assuming to return next Tuesday with one, but if there are enough of you around looking for something to ease the old grey cells back into shape, then I'll come up with something...
...meanwhile, if anyone wants a real challenge, you can always have a go at the RSS annual quiz[^]...
