Here are the 15 top pictures of the "Wiki Loves Earth" contest.
Super awesome photos, I must say.
And I feel immensely happy that Wiki Loves Earth 2015 winning picture is the one came from my country and that too of the place which is in neighborhood of my home town
It's Kachura Lake Skardu Northern Pakistan, Northern Pakistan where I basically belong to. Currently living in south region of the country thouhgh.

I even have videos. I named them 'Pasture with unsuspecting cows, seen from the air'. I even managed to get myself into the video, which is not as easy as it may seem.

I put a camera under my RC helicopter and got about an hour worth of raw footage. Once I know better how to fly and 'aim' I want to go south to Austria into the Alps and get some footage that's more worth looking at.
Getting yourself ontto the video is really hard. The helicopter has to pass right over you, something you usually do not want to do. You can easily lose control when you have to turn around 180 degrees and regain visual contact.

Have never experienced these things. But it must feel awesome having an RC helicopter and an outclass camera and leaving for capturing the beauty of of this beautiful land
At the same time it must be difficult to technically handle things, so you get perfect footage.
But quite impressive, I'd love to try it once in my life

Get yourself a 450 class helicopter[^]. Learning to fly is not easy, but you can start with simulators or teachers.

Train on a simulator first, it will save you money but you will not gain much experience in repairing crashed helicopters.

Well, that seems to be worth learning
What if I get a relatively cheaper helicopter first, train on it, get it crashed many times, learn how to repair it then go for an outclass heli(if the cheaper one does not survive off repeated crashes followed by my repairing services) 
Do there exist cheaper helicopters?

With the 'toy class' you will not get very far. Literally. The models are too heavy, their motors too weak and the transmitters (usually included) have only a short range. Some people will tell you to begin with one of those 'coaxial' or 'fixed pitch' helicopters, but I think they are a waste of time and money if you are older than 10 years.
First, you will need a good transmitter. Get a good one that will give you some precision and quality for a long time. You can still sell it on Ebay if you really should quit, but in the meantime you have something that works. With a transmitter like a Spectrum DX8 (there are other alternatives of course) you should be ok for years. Just don't buy several cheaper ones and then end up buying the better one later.
And then get yourself a simulator. Usually you can use your transmitter as controler and then you can crash as many simulated helicopters as you need to. Just search the web for websites with flying lessons and then practice on the simulator. All alone you will need some determination, but with time you will slowly get more control.
And how will we get you into the air? Hard to say. It all depends on you. Look for other RC pilots where you live, not only in the internet. Flying with company is more fun and you also get some help and advice.
No matter what modek you get, you must always remember that everything that flies can always come down. It must not even be your fault. Last week I crashed my first helicopter, a Blade 450 3D[^]. A servo failed and I could just barely prevent it from crashing through a neighbor's window and then it hit the ground. Such things can happen any time. Do your best to avoid it, always stay safe and don't get discouraged when it still happens.
Starting small is a good idea. Small helicopters cost less, take less damage because they are so light and the parts also don't cost very much. The downside: They are extremely agile and a little 'nervous`. No mass, no inertia to stabilize them. ou will need the reflexes of a cat, but once you have mastered them you can fly anything. VIDEO[^]
Helicopters get more stable and better controllable the larger they get. Unfortunately they also get more expensive. This one[^] is about six times the size of the tiny Nano CPX and also about that much more expensive. I have a T-Rex 550 just like the one in the video. They are much more stable than smaller models and a dream to fly, but not the right the model to begin with unless you have a teacher.
If you ask me: Train on the simulator and then get yourself a good compromise between power, quality and size. A medium size 450 class model already is big enough to be quite stable, is not sinfully expensive. Look at the following video. If you listen carefully, you will hear that this man already had some bad experience with cheaper models and I personally like the Align T-Rex series. So, some variant of the T-Rex 450 may be just right for you. VIDEO[^]

Fridays can become very stale and uninteresting when a propaganda and indoctrination event (officially as 'teambuilding') is scheduled for saturday.

It's a shame that the organiser of the event gets arrested tonight during the police raid on his home based on faulty evidence that he is housing 183 Syrians in his spare room and so the event gets cancelled.

Hmm. I also heard of a few crates of weapons, ammunition and a few pounds of drugs hidden in the basement. Perhaps this may also be of interest?

And I thought that the person in question, sitting in a bath tub full of acid, would be the best solution.

Well the best solution is to add protection to the bath tub against the acid. You don't want someone falling through the bath tub into whichever room is below it right?
|
|

Man, you are really good at thinking things through. It also helps on resale value of the house as the tub does not need replaced.

That and removing the meth lab from the cellar, so you don't lie about it and have to sell the house to your junkie son later on.
