If you open a clothing store at a nudist resort do you specialize in Birthday Suits?

I doubt that very much. You forgot the differently sized containers for the emergency eye bleach.

That would have the advantage of combining the laundry and the bathing facilities.

do they use hi-vis body paint when working on dangerous sites?
what about protection when operating machinery and handling sharp/cutting equipment?
trimming the [garden] hedge with shears (manual and electric) could be ... interesting
This internet thing is amazing! Letting people use it: worst idea ever!

We had a bathtub submarine, a bathtub tank and some suggestions what else to do in a bathtub. This one here is even better: The flying bathtub[^].
If I counted right, they need 24 of the same 5000 mAh batteries I fly with, four for every motor. Probably in a 12s2p configuration.
Edit: I recognized the manufacturer of the motors, batteries and probably most of the electronics. That's about 2500 bucks worth of batteries and at least 3500 bucks for the motors. This little toy probably would cost around 8000 if you have to buy the parts in the store.
Edit^2: I have looked up the motors on the manufacturer's homepage and done some math. With four batteries there are two possible configurations:
1) 12s2p. That means 12 LiPo cells in series (= 44.4 volts) and the whole thing twice in parallel (= 10000 mAh, or 10 Ah). 10 Ah sounds great, at least until you read that the motor draws up to 100 Ampere at max. That gives you only 6 minutes until the batteries are totally empty , which should never happen.
2) 6s4p Basically that is all four batteries in parallel. That gives us 22.2 volt and 20000 mAh (= 20 Ah). In this configuration the same motor only draws 80 Ampere max. This gives us 15 minutes.
I'm aware that the motors do not run at full blast all the time, but we must calculate with some margin. For example the batteries should have 15 - 20% of their capacity left when you are done, otherwise they may be damaged or completely destroyed. We will not get very much more than those 6 or 15 minutes, which will make the bathtub a nice toy, but nothing more.

You have given the answer yourself. What nerd with more than rudimentary self respect would waste his precious time with anything else than the nerdy activities he is interested in?

This idea is much, much older[^]. The helicopter is Sikorsky's VS300 prototype, the first helicopter that did not need to have some form of dual main rotor.

Aaahh! The future as envisioned in the 50s. Love it.
Quick question.
Knowing how some of your neighbours look after their cars in terms of maintenance, etc, and how they drive - do you want their vehicles flying over your house?

1) I own no house.
2) I would be the one the neighbors would live in fear of[^]. Heck, they already do when I test the setup of my model helicopters behind the house.

So you live in a place with no air-space above it? Wow - is it a mine or a bunker?

Wait - what?!?!?

Yeah - that's probably already true!

It's not that bad. When I have taken something apart i must see that everything is adjusted well before I drive all the way out to the field[^] for nothing.

We've been getting anagrams pretty quickly recently, so I thought I'd try a different direction. Didn't think it was that difficult though.

I agree I think some just go to anagram solving sites - what foxed me was I was looking for a word with CHI in 😬

it surrounds Atlanta: etchicatlantaagoats
confused: No clue what the hell this is anagram of.
